Hi All,
I am quite new to field recording and have been getting some interesting re=
cordings using an Olympus LS11, as recommended by Mitch (thanks). The LS11 =
is a seemingly well respected, if modest, bit of kit.
I have been pleased with the recorder but am a bit disappointed with the li=
mited effect of the WJ1 furry wind sock. I was trying to record the sea in =
some windy conditions and ended up getting some decent recordings by locati=
ng the recorder a small distance downwind of wind breaks. I used breakwater=
s, large rocks or anything I could use as windbreaks to minimize the effect=
of the wind. Of course this did effect the field of sound as some of the s=
ound was reflected from the wind break.
The results were not bad in this case but does anyone have any better sugge=
stions for dealing with strong wind conditions? (Ideally without suggesting=
large purchases.)
Are the highly directional mics like the Sennheisers much better at wind at=
tenuation because they are only focussing on the sound from one direction?
Cheers
Andrew Gooding
