Abhijit... thank you for trying to find the original file. It's quite p=
ossible that the original was not actually erased and could be recovered (u=
ndeleted) if you want to spend the time/energy.
BTW... After I saw your post, I tried compressing some of my old cicada re=
cordings and got multiple strange effects. In addition to emphasizing unwa=
nted components, it introduced odd sound patterns that were not audible (? =
present) in the original. Your recording was excellent, so you must have u=
sed minimal compression and/or just the right settings.
In any case, I look forward to hearing your next cicada recordings. Thanks=
again for posting. -john
