Hello All

I seem to have lost my recording of the AT3032s in the wind.  However I hav=
e found the recordings I made on 23rd March this year in similar winds; clo=
se to gale force.

In this case the mics used were NT1As but similar methods of windshielding =
were applied.

Here are two versions of the same sound snippet.  The first is as straight =
from the recorder and the second has a "mic rumble" filter applied.  Possib=
ly the mic rumble was causedby the capsule being moved around by the wind s=
haking the support which was a reasonably substantial Velbon D700 tripod.  =
Although the mi9cs were 30 feet from the house they were in its lee, so ben=
efitted from its shelter whist still being subjected to a battering.
