Recordist's notes

Two owls having a chat at night - one in the trees, one more distant in the forest. Some sounds of wind in the leaves/boughs, some twigs, a few pops from the wind. Zoom H4 recorder. A little bit of treatment in post (noise reduction, EQ) but no cuts/edits. Not the best recording :-( / Deux chouettes en conversation la nuit - une dans le bosquet, une autre dans les bois. Quelques bruits de vent dans les branches, des brindilles, quelques coups de vent dans le micro. Zoom H4. Quelques traitements en post (réducteur de bruit, équalisation) mais pas de coupures. Pas le meilleur enregistrement :-(
