Do you know your call sound files.

[Oldcoyotetrapper]

I was recategorizing, some sound files. I’m curious how many people listen to their call sound files prior to using them. Are do you rely on the recorders description. I often listen at home or in the truck scrolling through and planing new sound sequences for given times of the year. Much like practicing hand calls trying to hit certain notes.

Yes sir. Any new sounds are listened to in their entirety. I want to know that 1. They are not faulty in some way. Digital files can get corrupted. 2. I want to know what it sounds like thru & thru. If they’re vocalizations I want to familiarize myself with the sound. To know where any breaks are and when. I do this so I can throw in pauses at certain points to make a sound more versatile and not exactly the same if I’m running more than one sequence with the sound. And sometimes a coyote vocal is listed as a specific sound, but to my ear is nothing more than another howl.

I can’t remember the specific sound, or even who’s sound it was, but there was a “Coyote Bark Howl” or something like that, and it sounded like a coyote booger barking that had busted you. I couldn’t think of a situation where that would ever be useful and removed it from my sound list.

Man you brought up an excellent point. I also listen all the way through but I never thought about a corrupted file. Yea there are sounds I’ve deleted cause you get a couple of solid howls then some other sounds I feel will make a yote run. Then there’s those that have multiple yotes chiming in on a said lone howl. Again it’s fine in the right spot but not starting a stand off.

I listen to mine so we can set up my presets all but one of my calls have 10 presets and that pretty much came vers everything I need for the season.

 

[Oldcoyotetrapper]

I do have quite a few and do find myself using a handful of favorites. There’s a crazy amount of calling done out my way between contest and kids calling. I have to be able to really change things up. So I’m always on the lookout for clean vocals.

Yea, I listen to them, but the problem is that I forget them-tehee.

^^^^^^ this

 

[Pirogue]

Only makes sense to do that, but I don’t think I ever have. Will start, for sure.

"Yea, I listen to them, but the problem is that I forget them-tehee."

My problem as well. I often play an unintended sound because I thought it was something else. If there was an ultimate caller, it would have a sound preview function so you could pre play a sound through an earpiece to verify the selection.

I was listening to a few of mine and noticed that distant coyote howl in the background. It seems faint to my ear but do you think that’s very realistic to a coyote that might hear it 500-1000 yards away?

I’m sure it is and I’m sure it happens but makes me wonder what the coyote thinks. Like well there’s one of me but two of them. I’ll stay clear here tonight. There’s way more none aggressive dogs then aggressive ones.

yeah that’s an interesting take. I haven’t tried it yet so maybe I’ll have to report back after giving it some sets.
