How To Improve Your Birdcall Sound !!!


Everytime you purchased a CD with those birdcall sound make sure they are alright and suite your sound system.

This was an advise given to me by a close friend who experienced a poor sound track that were affecting those wild birds from entering his BH.

Mr.K just started his BH in Klang and have been facing difficulties in getting those wild birds into his BH.

He have been using those, so called, good birdcall sounds given to him by some friends that claimed that they are suitable for Klang bird colonies.

After a few weeks the sound seem to attract only a few but the rest were passing by and never bother to drop by.

He called and ask my opinion on the issue. My answer is " Why don't your have a look at the sound pattern using a specialised sound edit software?"

Hmm.... at first he was reluctant but later agreed to give a try......

I recommended a sound editing software called " Sony Sound Forge". Latest addition is no 9. Cost around US 299 but U can get cheaper at the amezon or pasar malam.


His latest comments were as follows:

Harry, thank you for your kind advise. I have purchased a copy and have started to use the software. I have found something that causes the birds to fly away and I have ammended the sound and tried. So far there are improvements.

I believed that the sofeware is one of the important tool to check all those sound that you received to ensure that they are not scaring the birds away.


I am thinking of inviting him to be one of my speaker in my next round of advance seminar arrangment to be held in Kuala Lumpur.....

I plan to invite Pak Hen to participate in the seminar and he will cover those areas that he is very good at " How To Bring those Wild Birds Into your BH."

Will let my reader know when and where once I get hold of Pah Hen to Agree .....

Yong,

One important use of this software is to allow you to detect any unsual high pitch that are not like by those wild birds. U will be able to know more when U can recognise these peaks.

U need to master the recognition and thus one day U will know what my friend was talking about.

Kenny,

I am not well verse with the sound engineering yet but will look into having a subject in the next advance seminar with pak Hen.

Hope to get some experience guys to look into this matter.
