Thanks for your appreciation. After this particular recording I felt inspir=
ed to buy a Rode NT4. However, by the time I managed to organise the fund m=
onsoon had set in :-) . But such is life.

I hope to add a K6/ME67 for more focused recordings but that will have to w=
ait. Buying good international brand microphones is very difficult in India=
.

Regarding recording resolution, unless I am going to a remote place without=
 any back up storage I think it is best to record at the maximum possible r=
esolution. One never knows how technology will improve in future and we mig=
ht be able to do wonders with our recordings. But I agree that indeed it do=
es take up a lot of space.

Thanks for your review, once again.
