Hey everyone! In this video, I will be showing you how to optimise the main settings that you should be familiar with on ultrasonic recording devices. I will be using Titley Scientific's Anabat Swift as the example device, but the settings will apply to whatever brand of ultrasonic recorder you are using such as a Wildlife Acoustic’s SM4BAT or an Audiomoth.

Great see you're still creating content. I dont suppose you could do a vid with the upgraded Anabat Express?

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll keep it in mind for future videos.
