Thanks Andrew, it sounds wonderful!
I have never been in the jungle. I have always wondered, though, if
all those sounds would keep me awake and drive me crazy, or put me
to sleep like a baby...
A friend of mine who is an anthropologist and has been working for
years in Malaysia and Borneo said that some people really had
problems getting used to some of the very loud Cicadas.
Yes, the point with EM23 is that you get about the same as ME6x, but
smaller and running Plug In Power.
Thanks for your kind mail and Good luck recording!
Klas.
