    Thanks. I went back over some others using Audition's scan. It
    detected some clipping in other files even though not beyond 0 db.. Not
    sure of the cause unless when I used compression in a plug-in and it
    went beyond 0 db, it still clipped even though the master gain was set
    less than 0 db. I never thought it would make a difference as long as
    the master output was set appropriately, but maybe it does.

    I use some compression on some of the files to bring up the coyote tones
    to more even levels.

    Just for kicks, I think I'll post the original, unaltered file at some
    point.

    Here's the original:

    I've had the H2 set up at the remote location for a week now. So far,
    I've had better results with the dish at home, but then again they have
    not been revisiting the same location as they did prior. Still waiting
    for that. Of course, I can't use the dish there either.

    Lower your input gains or recorder pre-amps a few dB. No need
    to max them out, as has been suggested here.


    They are less than they were. Still quite distant.

    Thanks. All tips are welcome since my monitoring system is below par.
    Glad you liked it. I find the coyote tonal qualities fairly basic to
    work with and that helps a lot with filtering. There was actually a dog barking while they were howling, but it was at a lower frequency and I
    was able to, with care, remove it. Still have to try and be as cautious
    as possible. Noise reduction has come a long way, but it still has
    limits I try and respect.

    With possible rain in the forecast, I didn't set up the remote recorder
    and will be doing so this coming week with clear nights (but cold!) in
    the forecast. However, about 15 min ago, they howled. I decided to try howling back. After a couple of tries, I actually seemed to get one
    response. Howls after that went unanswered. They definitely aren't at
    the location they were a couple of weeks back and more distant. It
    won't do much good even with the remote setup unless they come closer.
    Now it's a matter of time to see what they do.

    No coyote sounds last night, but no wonder as the fire department/
    police went throughout town sounding the siren along with Christmas
    songs. It was a good test for the H2 as I've been concerned about the distortion on some of the files. Despite the car and truck driving
    right by the unit with sirens blaring, compressor 1 did its job by
    keeping everything controlled. So, it must have been something I was
    doing during processing.

    I finally had a decent listen to all the files created thus far in the
    car, which tends to better pick up distortion. With about half of the
    files, I can hear some distortion but this is outweighed by some really
    good results too, so happy..
