Re: [LOOP] cricket sounds?

["wavecomputer360" <wavecomputer360@gmx.de>]

I went out in my backyard oner hozt summer evening and recorded a myriad of
crickets using a Sony Scoopman (handheld). It would have been a lot better
had it been a stereo recording (it would also have helped to lower the 
noise
floor in the background) but within a mix it worked really well.
