I purchased the unit to record bird calls and songs. I'll be using an external microphone with it. I'll be using the Field Recording setting of the recorder with auto-gain set to on, and the low-cut filter set to off.
I haven't been in the field yet but tested both no preset and the bird preset with a minute's worth of bird call audio coming out of my bookshelf speakers. The clip with the bird preset was consistently at a lower volume (not a ton) than then clip with no preset, so I assume the bird preset sets a lower auto-gain. Am I correct? Also, does the bird preset have any other characteristic or characteristics that using no preset has?
