Hi Abhijit,
I liked your recording, you couldn't really do much better with the
LS11 other than adding external mics which would give you more
sensitivity.
When I clicked on the first link, the sound only played for a very
short time, but when I downloaded the mp3 file it was longer at about
30 seconds, not sure why that difference?
Look forward to hearing more sounds from India!
