Hi John,

My approach to eq and amplification was fairly severe: would an unfiltered =
section help? There was a little wind, but I think what you hear is sounds =
of a stream through a valley or canyon approaching the noise floor thus ble=
nding with the artificial noise of the recorder and microphones.

-1A, I have problems getting such clear sounds without a LOT of wind protec=

somewhat. If I use less protection, I usually get a fair bit of diaphram no=
