I’ve just been travelling in northern Australia with postgrad student Isabel Bickerdike recording songs for our Rausing-funded Western Arnhem Land song project<\/a>. Conditions ranged from windy through very windy right up to very very windy and boy was I glad I’d invested in a Rycote windshield system<\/a>! Even though the mike was actually blown over by the wind a couple of times (fortunately between songs rather than during one), with the aid of PARADISEC’s trusty Nagra V hard disk recorder<\/a> and a Rode NT4 stereo condenser microphone<\/a>, we came away with 89 nicely recorded song items (from four different song-sets). OK, this is a pricey setup, but there are cheaper ways to achieve good results (Rycote even have a windjammer for lapel mike<\/a>) and I’d encourage anyone likely to be recording outdoors in windy conditions to consider building decent wind protection into the budget. It’s a small investment when you consider the overall costs of the field trip, and the results will be so much nicer to listen to and work on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
