Noise reduction processing is something you do when you have to, but 
it's always a compromise. The results are usually disappointing, and 
at best only acceptable. Take it from one who owns DINR, Ionizer, and 
Waves Restoration.

The challenge is to find quiet places to record! In the U.S. the 
National Park Service has recently begun to recognize soundscape as 
one of the values of natural environments. This doesn't mean they're 
doing anything about it, but it's a huge step in the right direction.

Find the remaining quiet places in your country, and work to preserve them!
