Hello,

Another "newbie" here! To preface this entire email I will describe my
recently acquired recording setup and say that, for the money I paid, I
am happy to use it for a while. Recorder: Marantz "Superscope" C-206 LP
Cassette Recorder (Mono, c1980, paid $10); Microphone: SME ATM 55
Shotgun (new, paid 85$); Headphones: Sony; Power: Superscope
rechargeable battery pack or "D" alkalines (6).
Now on to some questions. 
1) I have a 1.8 Ghz desktop computer with 256 MB RAM and a 30 GB hard
drive with 25GB available - what reasonably priced sound editing
software is recommended?
2) Can someone lead me to a source of DIY components for a simple
parabolic mic setup?
3) Is there any advice you would care to give to increase my chances of
making reasonably good bird song/nature recordings?
