Now there we all seem to agree! This was the point I also made several
times to LNS Cornell over the last two decades.
All the sounds I have posted of "dawn chorus" in Jamaica, St. Lucia and
Panama are stereo - done not with a parabola but with my 30=B0 angled,
crossed ME-67s. Note: These sounds are mix-pasted from several recordings,=
so as to sound like more birds per minute in the short 25 seconds; but the=
source recordings were all stereo, and were mixed as stereo.
Thanks, Lang.
