Hi Rich, Rob, Phil, Roger, Richard and the Group

Many thanks for your comments.

I do hace a second set of triplets, based on the 35-0192s that are
currently in my home made parabolic reflector

So it would be quite easy to make up a cube mic, and using two
identical MZ-NH1s to make four track recordings.

My problem would be what on earth to do with them when I've recorded
them?  I've only just managed to master the rudiments of Audacity and
do not have any other sound  type programs (other than SonicSstage of
course).

I am windows XP Pro based - any reccommendations?

I am quite happy to make the recordings and supply the resulting discs
 for processing.
