I am enjoying the birdfeeder recording. great idea that i might try myself
soon. The Tram passsying is very very beautiful. I love the clear bass and
am amazed i actually feel like an ant perspective. Espeically when i hear
people talking. The fade out at the end could be smoother/longer. IT feels
to abrupt and not at the best time.
The busride was the least intereseting to me, although the busses sound
interesting when they stop and go, it didnt feel like i was in some magical
place like i felt with the bird feeder and the tram track.
Overall, well done!
