Good to know.

In the past, I've always normalized my eBird audio. And plan to continue.

"The Macaulay Library also now automatically normalizes audio on new uploads for greater consistency.

Your original sound files remain unchanged—only the online playback might sound different."

Make Your Bird Recordings Sound Their Best - eBird

A few simple actions can transform your field recording into a resource that helps birders and scientists for years to come. Properly leveled audio offers an easier listening experience for identification, study, and enjoyment.

I’m new here, so here is my #intro. I am passionate about #birds, #conservation, and #technology and the intersection of these three things. During the day, I manage the Merlin project at the #CornellLab of #Ornithology, as well as mobile development and machine learning for #eBird and #MacaulayLibrary. In my free time, I am mostly collecting media and observations for those projects :)
