Not to put too fine a point on it, but down this route lies the Pacific
Treefrog's worldwide distribution in habitats it would never use and so
on. Use a great deal of care to at least mix sounds from the same type
of environment if you wish to move away from honest recordings of
individual locations. Otherwise such recordings can be very misleading,
you have to keep track of all background sounds and calls too in that
"ambiance bed". Not just your main call tracks.
And for those mac users who wish to play, SoundHack has a binaural
processor for making binaural stuff from mono recordings. Something that
came out of NASA research. The regular editors have stuff too, but the
one in SoundHack has sounded pretty good when I played with it.
