OK, I'm back from my first attempt at this.    There's one question that
clearly needs to be cleared up first before moving onto more refined
things:  what's the best way to deal with wind noise?   I may be able to
shelf EQ some of it out of these recordings, but how do you folks deal with=

it?  Are the mics you use more resistant to it?  Granted I only had simple=

foam screens over mine, but they had little or no effect,  although I
didn't try it without them.    It wasn't all that windy even, but when
there was anything more than a faint waft it zeroed the meters. Clearly I
need more sensitive mics for distance work,  but wind noise might be even
more of a problem then?  About the only thing I can think of right now is
to have the mics sheltered somehow, which could interfere with their patter=
n...

You all are way beyond this I know, so if there's a FAQ somewhere feel free=

to give me steer.


Ken
