I used to love automatic gain control until I started analyzing the
recordings on waveform or spectral view. Then you see the background sounds
going up and down as the bird sings loudly and stops. The machine is varying
the volume as the bird sings. Really an irritating result. My advice is DO
NOT use automatic gain control.
