Hi Guy,
That first clip is pretty darn scary! That is a Frankenstein clap if I ever
heard one.
The second clip doesn't sound too distorted to my ears. Was this recorded i=
n
a valley? The resonances sound that way to me and it could be
a natural distortion that is amplified by the mics that may not have sounde=
d
that way to your ears....does that make any sense? Anyway I have felt the
experience of colouration ( is that a word? google spell check thinks so
;^) when recording tornadic <(google didn't like this one, but i do)
thunderstorms in my home state of Oklahoma.
Best,
Mark
