A quiet recording can still be useful.
Locate the instrument
Depth, seabed, deployment, calibration, recording window, weather, vessel activity, and clock accuracy define the sample.
Describe before identifying
Frequency, duration, repetition, background, interference, and uncertainty appear before a species or source label.
Make the sound optional
Waveform, caption, transcript, volume warning, download size, and reduced-bandwidth version support different ways of reading.
