I’m curious which stereo configuration you prefer? I’m trying to get a wide open, expansive sound. These were recorded between noon and 2pm in the Taiwan mountains at 845m elev. Headphones or proper speakers would be best. Link in next post. #FieldRecording

Drove to the mountains for an easy ride and to test out some mic configurations. The ride was tough. The road up was no longer a road. I pushed uphill and managed to reach a suitable location. Cicadas were an issue. But what to do. 🤷‍♂️ Took an experimental hunter’s route back down. I’m alive.

Can add Hears Perfection plugin to that bunch.

Fake it until you make it?

That’s something I would have a hard time doing. Prob why I haven’t made it. 😕

I tried this with (I believe) one of your train station recordings. My recording sounded far too muddy to my ears. Was curious to hear how it would sound after EQ matching.

For real. And I don’t think they taste particularly better than any other snacks. But something compels you to eat “just one more” handful. 😂

OutRecording @outrecording.bsky.social · Sep 17

Ah, found it. 飛機餅. I stay away from them. Just eat one and the whole bag will be finished in short order. I swear they put crack in them.

I can one-up ya if I can think of the name of this one particular snack. It’s worse than having a huge bucket of popcorn (assuming you love popcorn as much as I do). Let me try and find it. So darn addictive.

I’m demoing this now. Really not sure what to think. Everything I EQ’d in the past now sounds a bit too shrill or overly EQ’d. Do I trust this thing or dial it back a bit? I do have hearing issues from years of DJ’ing with tinnitus on top of it. What to do, what to do…😕

Yours or there’s? 😬

Long pants, riding jacket and full face helmet on my motorcycle. It’s not that bad really.

OutRecording @outrecording.bsky.social · Jul 20

That pretty much describes me. 😂

But what if the gym bro is a 300 pound chubby guy who is super strong and loves over-buttered toast? 😅

That sounds somewhat similar to the Savanna nightjars we have here in Taiwan, but not quite as loud. They’ve been one of my nemesis when recording train pass-by’s and platforms. They just never stop screeching.

Is it worthy of Xiao Bai Yue status?

OutRecording @outrecording.bsky.social · Jun 22

Hope they put up soon. Was hoping to have a listen.

It has taken a couple of months, but they’ve gotten around to tearing them apart.

We used to put a bunch of boxes of those pod laundry detergent into one of our machines. It was popular for a time. But they’re so easy to get. This detergent…looks not so easy.

OutRecording @outrecording.bsky.social · Jun 12

I like coffee. I like Doritos. But this looks awful.

OutRecording @outrecording.bsky.social · Jun 10

Prob most of it is. But some of them have that cool vintage look that I like.

I see two or three things I’d buy there.

At those rates, sounds like I need to get into apartment cleaning.

My son travelled up to Yilan today to try and find a steam train. I’d say he did pretty good! Not and for a 13 year old. Better than me at least.

But I’m thinking maybe I’ll have to cut some holes in the old backpack to get the CM3’s in there in what I call “wide ORTF”. They sounds much better to my ears.
