Now if I can just subdue the whine that's lurking in that. It does not
belong. Some sort of interaction through the power supply for the two mics.
Once I get it running right I'm going to have a lot of fun with low sounds.
I've had a goal for several years to do some good recordings of frogs
calling in the rain and thunder. I've got some semi-nice stuff, but I
think this setup might get some really good stuff. In the longer
recording that it was taken from, the rain sounds right too. Only thing
missing is the heavy vibration you feel.
