NatureRecordists:
I trust we all know that harmonics of any single fundamental, as well
as sum and difference frequencies of any multiple fundamentals, are
the inescapable effect of any nonlinearity in any medium through which
such signals pass. This includes not only the natural environment, but
also the human hearing system, the sound recording system, the sound
playback system and the sound analysis system. OK?
Given that, has it occurred to others that "seeing" a possible distortion
product in an audiospectrogram and "hearing" the same component
in the field is no more proof that the source created the component
than it is proof that the recorder did not create an instance of it?
It may be naive to claim perfection in recording equipment based on
human hearing, particularly when the recording is of a non-human signal
which has evolved via non-human perceptions.
Good recording,
Randy
