Yes, when using a parabol, I edit the file right away and make the cuts
that I like.
Making SoundScapes is different. Then I place a mic and a recorder out
somewhere, often at a place that I am familiar with from before, and
leave it till the next day or longer. Coming back, I replace the battery
and the card and start recording again. Since many years, I have one
test site where a stereo mic and recorder is out 24/7 from February to
the end of June. It=B4s a 2-3 hours job to sonogram and listen to the
files, but also very relaxing and rewarding.

My 788T recorder has a 10-second pre-record buffer at 48KHz sampling rate. =
At 96KHz that is reduced to five seconds. The Sound Devices CL-1 remote rol=
