Description by digifishmusic	I was interested to hear the sounds in between the chips. Here I slowed the sound of a chirp 2, 4 then 8 times, at 4 and 8 you can clearly hear the wings of the cricket as they saw back to the reset position between chirps...sounds like scraping/sawing. Crickets make their sound by bowing their wings together like a violin player bows a violin string. Recording chain: Rode NT-4 stereo mic (one capsule pointed at the cricket) - Sound Devices MixPre (50% gain) - Edirol R-09 recorder (line-in 24 bit 44.1 kHz, rec level = 10) - Edited in www.flstudio.com Edison wave editor - 16 bit 44.1 kHz. The original sound was - http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/samplesViewSingle.php?id=32244

ERH	Mar 13, 2007 Just brilliant - I love all these cricket samples - they are so well recorded. But when the sounds are treated it is a revelation. Hearing the world in a new way, the essence of freesound. 10/10 for sure.

Mar 13, 2007 Thanks for the kind words...the process of making hi-fi recordings of insects is painstaking but very rewarding. Reminds me of Monty Python (? I think) - ...and now the sound of a woodlouse magnified 10,000 times :)

Dec 5, 2007 I've just uploaded a few cricket waves, and someone told me about yours. I can't believe I didn't see them before! Your combination of various speeds in one 'line' is instructive as well as a nice little composition. Have you ever heard their chirps slowed down 30 or 40 times? I've heard them via scientific recorders which record at high speeds so they can playback at low with great resolution--those wing fibers have amazingly resonant "pings". They're little tuning forks! And they do this for hours...I've enjoyed your other samples, and am glad to find you're doing these too. This is what sound is all about. Much Thanks!
