Hi John,
thanks for your feedback - I am using a Fostex FR2LE.

> Great recording by the way. Nice broad spacial qualities on both headphon=
es and monitors.

> The specific location setting lends to a low noise feeling: the high freq=
uency insect band around 8k creates a strong mask to the mic self-noise in =
the frequencies above. However, I do not expect this quality will convey i=
n all the natural settings you may be interested in recording.

> There is a prominent rumble or pulsing down around 50 Hz that I find dist=
racting. While checking in mono I hear this problem even more noticeably as=
the in-phase components sum. This could be addressed by basic parametric e=
q - or with MS processing attenuating the Mid component only.

m not sure about how it would affect oomph in the mid to low.
