What do you do while recording? me? Quantity over quality

["Richard Lyttle"]

my efforts usually mean quantity over quality since I'm strictly a night ti=
me audio taper ( more unusual sounds ) and have no idea what i'm going to g=
et. i am wishing to get predator noises.

I get some absolutely amazing sound clips but usually while i'm sleeping /s=
noring.

it's embarrassing to hear my snoring on dat tape / flash card but that's wh=
en i often do my best work!

then i have to go back to the computer and listen to every minute of it to =
score the sounds, and grab what i like.

one thing i've noticed its sure helpful to have animals moving in close bec=
ause often the barred owls, other critters will react to the animal moving =
thru the woods near me and let loose too.
