The Rraven package is designed to facilitate the
exchange of data between R and Raven sound analysis
software (Cornell Lab
of Ornithology). Raven provides very
powerful tools for the analysis of (animal) sounds. R can simplify the
automatization of complex routines of analyses. Furthermore, R packages
as warbleR, seewave and monitoR (among
others) provide additional methods of analysis, working as a perfect
complement for those found in Raven. Hence, bridging
these applications can largely expand the bioacoustician’s toolkit.
Currently, most analyses in Raven cannot be run in
the background from a command terminal. Thus, most Rraven
functions are design to simplify the exchange of data between the two
programs, and in some cases, export files to Raven for further
analysis. This vignette provides detailed examples for each function in
Rraven, including both the R code as well as the additional
steps in Raven
required to fully accomplished the analyses. Raven Pro must be installed
to be able to run some of the code. Note that the animations explaining
these additional Raven
steps are shown in more detail in the github version of this
vignette, which can be downloaded as follows (saves the file
“Rraven.github.html” in your current working directory):
download.file(
url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maRce10/Rraven/master/gifs/Rraven.hitgub.html",
destfile = "Rraven.github.html")
The downloaded file can be opened by any internet browser.
Before getting into the functions, the packages must be installed and loaded. I recommend using the latest developmental version, which is found in github. To do so, you need the R package remotes (which of course should be installed!). Some warbleR functions and example data sets will be used, so warbleR should be installed as well:
remotes::install_github("maRce10/warbleR")
remotes::install_github("maRce10/Rraven")
#from CRAN would be
#install.packages("warbleR")
#load packages
library(warbleR)
library(Rraven)
Let’s also use a temporary folder as the working directory in which to save all sound files and data files:
setwd(tempdir())
#load example data
data(list = c("Phae.long1", "Phae.long2", "Phae.long3", "Phae.long4", "lbh_selec_table", "selection_files"))
#save sound files in temporary directory
writeWave(Phae.long1, "Phae.long1.wav", extensible = FALSE)
writeWave(Phae.long2, "Phae.long2.wav", extensible = FALSE)
writeWave(Phae.long3, "Phae.long3.wav", extensible = FALSE)
writeWave(Phae.long4, "Phae.long4.wav", extensible = FALSE)
#save Raven selection tables in the temporary directory
out <- lapply(1:4, function(x)
writeLines(selection_files[[x]], con = names(selection_files)[x]))
#this is the temporary directory location (of course different each time is run)
getwd()
Importing data from Raven
imp_raven
This function imports Raven selection tables. Multiple files can be imported at once. Raven selection tables including data from multiple recordings can also be imported. It returns a single data frame with the information contained in the selection files. We already have 2 Raven selection tables in the working directory:
list.files(path = tempdir(), pattern = "\\.txt$")[1] "LBH 1 selection table example.txt" "LBH 2 selection table example.txt" "LBH 3 selection table example.txt" "LBH 4 selection table example.txt"
This code shows how to import all the data contained in those files into R:
#providing the name of the column with the sound file names
rvn.dat <- imp_raven(all.data = TRUE, path = tempdir())
head(rvn.dat)| Selection | View | Channel | Begin Time (s) | End Time (s) | Low Freq (Hz) | High Freq (Hz) | Begin File | channel | Begin Path | File Offset (s) | File Offset | selec.file |

Note that the ‘waveform’ view data has been removed. It can also be imported as follows (but note that the example selection tables have no waveform data):
rvn.dat <- imp_raven(all.data = TRUE, waveform = TRUE,
path = tempdir())
Raven selections
can also be imported in a ‘selection.table’ format so it can be directly
input into warbleR functions.
To do this you need to set warbler.format = TRUE:
#providing the name of the column with the sound file names
rvn.dat <- imp_raven(sound.file.col = "End.File",
warbler.format = TRUE, path = tempdir())
head(rvn.dat)| selec | Channel | start | end | bottom.freq | top.freq | sound.files | channel | selec.file |

The data frame contains the following columns: sound.files, channel,
selec, start, end, and selec.file. You can also import the frequency
range parameters in the ‘selection.table’ by setting ‘freq.cols’ tp
TRUE. The data frame returned by “imp_raven” (when in the
‘warbleR’ format) can be input into several warbleR functions
for further analysis. For instance, the following code runs additional
parameter measurements on the imported selections:
# convert to class selection.table
rvn.dat.st <- selection_table(rvn.dat, path = tempdir())
sp <- spectro_analysis(X = rvn.dat, bp = "frange", wl = 150,
pb = FALSE, ovlp = 90, path = tempdir())
head(sp)all selections are OK | sound.files | selec | duration | meanfreq | sd | freq.median | freq.Q25 | freq.Q75 | freq.IQR | time.median | time.Q25 | time.Q75 | time.IQR | skew | kurt | sp.ent | time.ent | entropy | sfm | meandom | mindom | maxdom | dfrange | modindx | startdom | enddom | dfslope | meanpeakf |

And this code creates song catalogs:
# create a color palette
trc <- function(n) terrain.colors(n = n, alpha = 0.3)
# plot catalog
catalog(X = rvn.dat.st[1:9, ], flim = c(1, 10), nrow = 3, ncol = 3,
same.time.scale = TRUE, spec.mar = 1, box = FALSE,
ovlp = 90, parallel = 1, mar = 0.01, wl = 200,
pal = reverse.heat.colors, width = 20,
labels = c("sound.files", "selec"), legend = 1,
tag.pal = list(trc), group.tag = "sound.files", path = tempdir())
This is just to mention a few analysis that can be implemented in warbleR.
Rraven also contains the function
imp_syrinx to import selections from Syrinx sound analysis
software (although this program is not been maintained any longer).
extract_ts
The function extracts parameters encoded as time series in Raven selection tables.
The resulting data frame can be directly input into functions for time
series analysis of acoustic signals as in the warbleR function
freq_DTW. The function needs an R data frame, so the data
should have been previously imported using imp_raven. This
example uses the selection_file.ts example data that comes
with Rraven:
#remove previous raven data files
unlink(list.files(pattern = "\\.txt$", path = tempdir()))
#save Raven selection table in the temporary directory
writeLines(selection_files[[5]], con = file.path(tempdir(),
names(selection_files)[5]))
rvn.dat <- imp_raven(all.data = TRUE, path = tempdir())
# Peak freq contour dif length
fcts <- extract_ts(X = rvn.dat, ts.column = "Peak Freq Contour (Hz)")

Note that these sequences are not all of equal length (one has NAs at
the end). extract_ts can also interpolate values so all
time series have the same length:

imp_corr_mat
The function imports the output of a batch correlation routine in Raven. Both the correlation and lag matrices contained in the output ‘.txt’ file are read and both waveform and spectrogram (cross-correlation) correlations can be imported.
This example shows how to input the sound files into Raven and how to bring
the results back to R. First, the selections need to be cut as single
sound files for the Raven correlator to be
able to read it. We can do this using the cut_sels function
from warbleR:
#create new folder to put cuts
dir.create(file.path(tempdir(), "cuts"))
# add a rowname column to be able to match cuts and selections
lbh_selec_table$rownames <- sprintf("%02d",1:nrow(lbh_selec_table))
# cut files
cut_sels(X = lbh_selec_table, mar = 0.05, path = tempdir(), dest.path =
file.path(tempdir(), "cuts"),
labels = c("rownames", "sound.files", "selec"), pb = FALSE)
#list cuts
list.files(path = file.path(tempdir(), "cuts"))
Every selection is in its own sound file (labeled as
paste("rownames", "sound.files", "selec")). Now open Raven and run the batch
correlator on the ‘cuts’ folder as follows:
And then import the output file into R:
# Import output (change the name of the file if you used a different one)
xcorr.rav <- imp_corr_mat(file = "BatchCorrOutput.txt", path = tempdir())
The function returns a list containing the correlation matrix:

This output is ready for stats. For instance, the following code runs a mantel test between cross-correlation (converted to distances) and warbleR spectral parameter pairwise dissimilarities:
#convert cross-corr to distance
xcorr.rvn <- 1- xcorr.rav$correlation
#sort matrix to match selection table
xcorr.rvn <- xcorr.rvn[order(rownames(xcorr.rvn)), order(colnames(xcorr.rvn))]
#convert it to distance matrix
xcorr.rvn <- as.dist(xcorr.rvn)
# measure acoustic parameters
sp.wrblR <- spectro_analysis(lbh_selec_table, bp = c(1, 11), wl = 150,

Exporting R data to Raven
exp_raven
exp_raven saves a selection table in ‘.txt’ format that can be directly opened in Raven. No objects are returned into the R environment. The following code exports a data table from a single sound file:
# Select data for a single sound file
st1 <- lbh_selec_table[lbh_selec_table$sound.files == "Phae.long1.wav", ]
# Export data of a single sound file
exp_raven(st1, file.name = "Phaethornis 1", khz.to.hz = TRUE, path = tempdir())
If the path to the sound file is provided, the functions exports a ‘sound selection table’ which can be directly open by Raven (and which will also open the associated sound file):
# Select data for a single sound file
st1 <- lbh_selec_table[lbh_selec_table$sound.files == "Phae.long1.wav",]
# Export data of a single sound file
exp_raven(st1, file.name = "Phaethornis 1", khz.to.hz = TRUE,
sound.file.path = tempdir(), path = tempdir())
This is useful to add new selections or even new measurements:
If several sound files are available, users can either export them as a single selection file or as multiple selection files (one for each sound file). This example creates a multiple sound file selection:
exp_raven(X = lbh_selec_table, file.name = "Phaethornis multiple sound files",
sound.file.path = tempdir(), single.file = TRUE, path = tempdir())
These type of tables can be opened as a multiple file display in Raven.
Running Raven from R
run_raven
The function opens multiple sound files simultaneously in Raven. When the analysis is finished (and the Raven window is closed) the data can be automatically imported back into R using the ‘import’ argument. Note that Raven, unlike R, can also handle files in ‘mp3’, ‘flac’ and ‘aif’ format .
# here replace with the path where Raven is install in your computer
raven.path <- "PATH_TO_RAVEN_DIRECTORY_HERE"
# run function
run_raven(raven.path = raven.path, sound.files = c("Phae.long1.wav", "Phae.long2.wav", "Phae.long3.wav", "Phae.long4.wav"),
import = TRUE, all.data = TRUE, path = tempdir()) 
See imp_raven above for more details on additional
settings when importing selections.
raven_batch_detec
As the name suggests, raven_batch_detec runs Raven detector on multiple sound files (sequentially). Batch detection in Raven can also take files in ‘mp3’, ‘flac’ and ‘aif’ format (although this could not be further analyzed in R!).
This is example runs the detector on one of the example sound files that comes by default with Raven:
detec.res <- raven_batch_detec(raven.path = raven.path,
sound.files = "BlackCappedVireo.aif",
path = file.path(raven.path, "Examples"))
