That makes a bit of sense, Doug. Foxes, we got. Mostly, I've got fox
"barks" and have never heard them scream with that much of a low freq
(170Hz) component. Also, the whole sequence, that lasts about 7
minutes, has whatever-it-is moving right to left through the stereo
space and near to far in perspective all pretty quickly -- more like
the movement of a bird, me thinks.
Anyone else wanna weigh in on this?
