It is generally NOT recommended to use AGC in any form for signals
with a fast rise time or quick onset. These include birds, some
terrestrial and many marine mammals, fish, amphibians, and insects
among the thousands of critters that create audible signals.
Personally, I never use AGC in any format while recording. Just set
your input at
conservative levels and let things unfold. Sometimes, but rarely,
you'll overload. Sometime you'll record signal that'll be too low in
amplitude. Mostly, it'll work because you'll end up with clips that
have both dynamic and diversity that will be lovely. But AGC sucks.
