That is what I thought too. But then I look at the FFT spectral
display, which in Cooledit goes to 16,384. The display is completing
the curve down to 1/2 cycle in a short time frame. I don't
understand how in such a short time frame it is resolving 1/2 cycle.
Is this bird really calling to 1/2 cycle. Also, this was recorded
with a me-62 and a consumer minidisc and not my mkh-110-1. The mic
is rated at 5 cycles and the MD is not rated that I know of which
means they choose not to lie. Is there such a thing as a sub-
harmonic?
