SInES Tools: Roughness Estimator
Gather the roughness of sounds using algorithms in the time (estimated) and frequency domain (calculated)

1. Click on "Start" to set all values on default.
2. Upload one or multiple mp3 or wav audio file(s) of your choice.
3. optional: Select the noise gate setting to avoid artifacts in silent parts of the sound:

    Off (quiet parts will be analysed) or noise gate on (quiet parts will not be analysed).
4. optional: If you have uploaded multiple audio files to analyze them in a batch:
   Additionally, export a table for each file containing all individual values over time as a .zip file
5. Click on "Analyse" to start the analyzing process.
6. View data comparing the results of the different roughness models.
7. Click on "Show JS Arrays" or "Export CSV", to show the recorded data as JavaScript arrays or to export them as a    CSV/Excel file.

Select one or more audio files (wav, mp3) and click "Analyse".
