Sound Happenings....

The problem with recording sounds outdoors is the wind factor. No, not the dodgy curry I had the night before but the wind gain and at the moment in North Devon there is a fair amount of this! To overcome this, a wind shield is required on a microphone or as I have reliably been informed is also called a Doogal after the Magic Roundabout's character!

I am using a small Zoom H1 hand recorder for the recordings. So I have now purchased a 'doogal' which will hopefully improve the quality of sounds out in the open.

However, today is a still day so there will a visit to the local beach is in order to see if I can get some nice wave sounds.

New sounds for next week will be church bells and a trip to the livestock auctions!
