Hi David,
Thank you for the information. It is very useful to know in advance that mo=
st
of the areas are heavily populated or impacted in some way by humans. I pre=
fer
wildlife sound recording (specifically birds) and natural sounds (quietness=
),
but I'm flexible enough to handle human modified environments.
I will search on the web for areas to explore in PR and hopefully, I can ge=
t
far away from human-made sounds.
Saludos
Tony Celis
