I assume these are glitches that occured during the recording? I would definitly fix that ASAP. Your using a microtrack? Are you at 24bit 96khz? Does this mean that unit isn't even capable of sustained 24/96 recording? If this is the case I suggest dropping to 24/48 to avoid those dropouts.

no I was recording at 16 bit 44hZ
since i was uploading mp3's at 44.1 I recorded at this setting and at 16 bit.
switching to 24 96 this Wednesday to see if it makes a difference.

The original recordings sound much better. i am using audacity to edit on a six year old Dell Latitude, very primitive post production right now. I think things will get better with Pro Tools and a G5, have to wait for that.

No this is not Kirtan:

Nothing against Kirtan or new age music, well maybe something against new age music, but we wanted to create original improvised world music using Tibetan Buddhist mantra. Kirtan is a specific devotional form that has nothing to do with what we're creating, other than a sense of devotion to something numinous.

We're wanting to create an edgey kind of sound, with elements of contemporary brainwave frequency science, 2000+ years tradition of mind training, and recordings intended for headphone use.

These pieces are improvised acoustic Buddhist mind altering sound mandalas.

New Mic placement of the parabolic turned out rather well I think...
