John,
Sorry I haven't replied sooner.
Thanks for your comments. I love your recording. It has some nice close
up sounds of both higher and lower frequency "babbles" that give it a lot
of interest. I also like the separation. Next time I record a stream I
might try to do it from the side rather than from straight on to get more
of a stereo spread. I don't know if that makes sense, but I'm sure I'll
learn something in the process.
