Hi Dan,

Thanks for listening and very much for the feedback. I really appreciate it=
. I'm very keen to learn.

I wonder if the swishy sound was the distant roar of the sea? It was audibl=
e pretty much everywhere we went in the forest - apart from the frogs at th=
e beginning. Or do you mean artefacts that affect the whole spectrum throug=
hout the entire recording?

Which section are you referring to where the reverb sounds unnaturally trun=
cated. And what does that mean / how did you perceive that?

Best,

Myles
