Phil,
the recording sounds nice and natural, but could be improved a lot by
having a second microphone to provide some spatial perception. I like
to use two shotguns slightly angled (say, 10-15 degree) and spaced as
our ears (about 18 cm).
I'd like to download your file and to listen to it offline and also
to analyze the file. please, can you recompile the webpage to allow
downloading the file ?
