.wav or .au Wavelengths to CSV

[SaraSinha]

Hi

I am working on a research project and want to learn more about timing deficits.
I created a task in audacity where participants tap along to a metronome beat. They tap onto a contact microphone that creates waves with little noise.

What is the easiest way to convert these wavelengths into a CSV or excel file?
I was going to measure each peak of the wavelength manually but there must be an easier (and more accurate way to do this?)

Greetings from the absolute beginner and thanks in advance!

Do you already have the frequencies?
what does your data look like?

If you haven't gotten that far, you might want to start here, discussion on using fft's to analyze sound.

Thank you! I'm reading into this but hope there would be a much simpler solution where the csv output data gives me a time reference from one wave peak to the next ... or is this just wishful thinking and an abstract concept that doesn't exist?

that's why i ask what you have for data.
csv is just a type of file.
Do you have a excel spreadsheet, raw data readings? what?
