Hi John
The shingle beach is straight as far as you can see almost in each directio=
n. The waves do come in at an angle to the shore as you heard. The shingle =
is pushed up to create a bank to provide protection to the lower lying land=
the other side. It still seems to have the 'hollow' sound Curt talks about=
. In the example I posted I think I 'helped' the sound with some eq. But I =
am always wary that you can fool yourself you have 'improved' a sound when =
in fact you haven't. It is interesting that sea wash or oceansounds can pro=
ve difficult to record.
