'Sessions’ are used to group all recordings from a speaker. If you are collecting longitudinal data, we recommend that you add a new session for each recording session.
Session metadata Metadata contain important information about your audio files. Speakers' age and gender are used to calculate formant tracks, but you may also add other types of metadata (e.g., participant id, treatment condition, follow-up date, etc.). Metadata helps you organise your data and may facilitate later analysis.

Suggestions: Documentation Upload your project documents (e.g., ethical approval, data management plan, project application). The documents are stored in the Documents folder on your project server
Create an EmuDB database An EmuDB is required to work with the EMU tools (e.g., EmuWebApp for transcription, Emu-R for analyses). You should only uncheck this box if you really know what you are doing. Your EmuDB is stored in the Data folder on your project server.
Sessions Use 'Sessions’ to organise your recordings. You may, for example, group all recordings from a speaker in one session or have multiple sessions per speaker in the case of longitudinal data collection. It is entirely up to you to decide how to organise your recordings, but the way you choose to organise your files may facilitate later analysis.
Annotation structure Here, you define the annotation levels and their relationship to one another. The default structure is Word and Phonetics, and their relationship is one-to-many, meaning that one word may consist of several phonemes. An annotation level can be of type ITEM, SEGMENT or EVENT. An ITEM level is timeless and contains labels only. A SEGMENT level has a start time and a duration. An EVENT level contains a single time point only. In the standard case, Phonetics have a label, a start time and a duration, while Words only contain labels. You may add or remove annotations levels. If you do, make sure you also add/remove the links between them.
