Aaron,
Yes it would be interesting to know if this change of sound with my Striped
Marsh Frog that occurs with a change of samplerate, is an iMac deficiency,
or something else. And more specifically, what could be done about it.
I would be able to send you a digital DAT clone of the original recording
(48 KHz), along with an audio CD of the same recording that has been
processed at 44.1 kHz via my iMac.
I'd be most interested to hear the results of your various resampling rates=
,
as you suggest.
Send me your snail-mail address off-line, and I'll sort out some recordings=
.
Thanks very much for your interest!

PS Thanks also to Walt and everyone else for your comments. There's nothin=
g
like a practical test to sort this problem out and we'll let the group know
the results!
