A little off topic, but I remember the day not too long ago, when we had such 
few options digitally that we were actually discussing the MAudio Microtrack 
and it's display overlapping the wiring for the XLR's causing it's own sound 
ecosystem ^__~. I believe the noise floor of the preamps of that model left 
Nature Recordist pretty non-plussed as well. It is very gratifying to see so 
many more options and so many ways to capture, apply and distribute.
