Wow, I guess I missed that sidebar in SoundonSound about cricket
breeding practices for a quieter studio.
Who knew that when they talked about "sex, drugs, and rockNroll" they
were talking about crickets too? :-)

Hi folks,
Does any one know of a simple tool for removing crickets from my home
studio? :-)
There are four types of cricket song: The calling song attracts
females and repels other males, and is fairly loud. The courting
song is used when a female cricket is near, and is a very quiet
song. An aggressive song is triggered by chemoreceptors on the
antennae that detect the near presence of another male cricket
and a copulatory song is produced for a brief period after a
successful mating.
-- Wikipedia
Algorithm to remove the cricket noise (pseudo-code):
- put a cricket-female near the door of the studio
- cricketto starts the calling song
- when you hear the courting song, push the crickets out and
close the door of the studio
- cricket noise is removed if the copulatory song is out of the studio
HTH
