A few days ago I recorded the dawn in a little clearing in upland woodland =
in County Durham, UK. The recorder was placed late the night before and I r=
eturned to pick it up about 9am.=0D

The rig is as binaural as I can get it, for now. A little stumpy affair tha=
t sits down low on the ground and wrapped in long haired faux fur. One good=
advantage of this is that it's not eye catching and a passing stranger cou=
ld could easily not notice it's there even if they passed within 30ft of it=
.=0D

The mics are a pair of Shure MX391/O. They are held tight to the sides of t=
he dummy head with tight Lycra, under the fur.=0D

For this recording they are plugged into a Fel BMA2 and on into the line in=
put of a sony M10. The recorder and preamp are both tucked right inside the=
hollow 'head', and safe from rain.=0D

And that's the thing, I was "planning" on recording a thunder storm, so I s=
et everything very low. There was no thunder storm so I took the kit home t=
hinking I had nothing to show for the effort and risk.=0D

On the computer, the recording was very low. I tried giving it all a 20dB l=
ift. To my surprise it came to life quite well. Luckily, I'd used 24bit (44=
.1k). I don't always do that. My computer struggles with high data rate fil=
es and I get frustrated too much with the jobs of topping and tailing and f=
inishing things.=0D

So, here it is. Please be gentle with me :)=0D
