Solo Firepit during a Windy Night by Blair Conner published on 2021-04-28T15:45:24Z Went car camping in the Trona Pinnacles this past weekend. Before we left I took some time to make a binaural rig for my Clippy EM272 lavalier omni-microphones. Rig is based on this design http://www.trackseventeen.com/mic_rigs.html from Curtis Olson. I'm really impressed with this design so far, more testing to come! Recorded with a MixPre 3 II using 32-float at 96 kps and 40 dB gain. I also had a windjammer over the setup which was essential because it was insanely windy. Most of the "windiness" you'll hear in this recording is just the roaring fire. Processing including multi-band compression in the mid range and equalization. Mainly cut some low frequencies and boosted the high end because of the windjammer. Comment by Chris Nice one! The stereo imaging turned out well with this rig. I can hear a clearly defined center and sides, and also detail inbetween. 2021-04-29T05:24:30Z
