Hi--
Very true about frogs. The intra frequencies become so disorienting
that I've stood up and started walking in the wrong direction. To my
ears, with frogs, the distortions are as much or more pronounced with
tape playback as they were perceived in the field. As for
grasshoppers and crickets, the distortion would probably also stem
from complexities in their songs. The closest encounter I've had
with their singing came from leaving gear in a field for 3 hours.
Maybe someday, I'll become more accepted by the community nd enjoy a
closer listen.
From this string, I've gathered that the distortion with crickets and
grasshoppers is not being widely experienced. This is helpful insight.
Thanks!

My ears are hardly prime either. But, luckily frogs don't call at all
that high a frequency. I'd be doing insects too if I had ears that could
hear more of them.

Talk about waving a red flag at a bull! I believe the mac folks already
have it running in VirtualPC. Anyway I saw some indications of that.
Does not matter much, as of January, the last vestige of the Mac will be
dead. There will be these Unix machines that are trying desperately to
fool us into thinking they are Macs. But no macs sold anymore.
