Re: Sounds to record in Fall / Autumn

["Lily Plants" lilyplants]

I love this clip of Fall sounds. It's so alive. makes me think of more simple 
sounds such as Philip Glass and a sound piece of compost composting.

Questions re sounds from most loud to most soft: 
Message: 1. 
Subject: what are the inconsistent leaf sounds? animals? how large?
Message: 2. 
Subject: is water dripping?
Message: 3. 
Subject: what accounts for the soft consistent crackling?
Message: 4. 
Subject: is there a low rumble in the clip or is that gain from my gear?

Lastly, what kind of speakers and placement do you use for your own playback?

I'd appreciate a comment to any of those questions.
