Thanks John! Love the yotes. Is the first single perhaps calling for
a \partner thats out of range? She/he is turning and calling in
different directions right? The sources of three slap back echos
towards the end are interesting to think about too.
I believe the widely distributed hiss, waivering and artifacts are
largely the result of the the mp3 encoding. Its 1:45 long and
requires 1.6mb, so a data rate of 15.6K bytes/sec. Low even for mp3
standards. An uncompressed file would give us a better sense of
noise, if any, introduced byt the pre. Rob D.
