This is a great set of recordings, and I love the Olympus info right
now, since I'm waiting for an Olympus LS-10 to arrive. I may try it
woth some other outboard mics, and will be sure to let anyone know
anything good I find. I primarily record birds, but also other
ambiances and samples.
Thanks, Vicki!
