描述：Recording made on 21st October 2012 with a Sony PCMM10 on a Hama minitripod, using the builtin microphones. http://www.broadhorizonnature.co.uk/shagrockperranporth500x375.jpg This photo of Shag Rock was taken while this recording was in progress.N.B. The sea and Shag Rock are bigger and further below than they look, because this is a longfocus shot. This recording was made on the very steep and rather precarious grassy slope below the rather exposed coast path a bit southwest of Perranporth, Cornwall, UK, which contours the main cliff slope from near Cligga Head to Droskyn Point, at which latter point you are in Perranporth proper. I had walked on the coast path from Portreath, and had been looking forward to this spot because on certain previous walks I had heard the surf really thundering here. Actually on this occasion, the sound was a bit too chaotic for me to think of it quite as 'thundering', but there was a lot of very deep booming and rumbling, with periodic heavy thuds, as the surf had vigorous and indeed dramatic arguments with the cliffs here that were in its way. I placed the recorder on a very low drystone wall running down the slope, with top completely covered with vegetation, and the minor headland with Shag Rock connected to its tip was ahead and somewhat to the right. This grassy slope ends just a little further below, in sheer and indeed more or less undercut cliff, so that the big waves make big rumbles and thumps as they hit the cliff (invisible to me on the steep slope above). However, that is not all that is happening, because quite large rebound waves keep interacting with new incoming ones, with the result that we hear sudden almost eruptive disturbances of the incoming waves. I'd wanted to make a full halfhour recording of this, but it was getting towards sundown and I was concerned that my return hitchhike from Perranporth to Exeter be not much delayed, so I intended to record for only ten minutes. However, as the sound was so thrilling there, I compromised by extending that to 16 minutes (though still rather regretting it not being a full half hour, and regretting so still more once listening to the recording back at home). Roughly halfway through the recording a light aeroplane passes over, which seemed annoying at the time, but actually in the recording it does give a little sense of perspective and so serves a reasonably positive function. Possibly because the recorder was very close to a vegetated surface, I found that the recording did not reproduce the very low frequencies at all strongly, and so, guided by the frequency spectrum graph in Voxengo's Span plugin, I used a straightline graphic EQ in WavePad to give a fair boost to the low bass, and uploaded the recording as 168105. Since then I experimented further, and this version replaces that one, with a more effective shaping of the bass boost, and also a small additional treble lift, the total effect adding considerably to the power and detail and sense of spaciousness. The recording now comes much nearer to what I actually heard. (Later note: Following further recordings at this location, I now think I was mistaken about that, and the EQ was unnecessary apart from that to correct for the Rycote Mini Windjammer, and thus I now view this recording as it now stands as significantly overtrebly because the recorder was not that close to the sea, and the amended bass, while sounding nice, has not really got the thundering 'welly' that has come out so well in my subsequent recordings there.) Please note that only very good speakers / headphones with a very extended bass response will do this recording real justice. Also, it may sound unpleasantly boomy on speakers that have any sort of boominess (like my computer speakers). Please also note that the volume level of this recording has been carefully adjusted for listening purposes, and ALL my recordings so far are meant to be listened to with a volume setting that would give a realistic level for playback of CLASSICAL music (a large but not exceptional symphony orchestra). If you have the right volume setting, you should not need to change that setting from one recording of mine to another.(Later note: This recording with better sound than here is on one of my commercial CDs, and can be found in my eStore.)

描述：2012年10月21日，用Hama迷你三脚架上的索尼PCMM10，用Rycote Mini Windjammer覆盖的内置麦克风进行录音。我在WavePad中使用了一个图形EQ配置文件，以补偿Windjammer造成的轻微消音。 在这一天，有大量的海浪袭来，撞击着悬崖，我在北康沃尔郡的海岸线上从Portreath到Perranporth进行了徒步旅行，希望能录制到强大的大西洋海浪撞击悬崖的典型声音，包括各种深沉的砰砰声和呜呜声，包括非常低的 "地震 "频率。然而，在这次步行中，在波兹托万西南侧的悬崖上，我感到很失望，因为我几乎没有听到那些真正深沉的声音，从我的悬崖顶上看，所有的冲浪声都听起来很有风度，没有任何戏剧性。但是，为了避开微风，使我的午休时间更舒适，在那个突出的地方，我开始沿着一条狭窄的、可怕的、暴露的小路走，这条小路沿着几乎陡峭的崖壁斜着向卢辛顿湾的海滩延伸；这条小路是由一些不紧张的钓鱼者和冲浪者使用的。我坐在轨道的边缘吃午饭，身后是悬崖峭壁，我在附近安装了录音机，就在轨道边上，位置相当不稳定。 http://www.broadhorizonnature.co.uk/exposedclifffacetrackporthtowan_20121112_02.jpg 在这种特殊情况下，悬崖峭壁作为反射器和共振器，对破浪声中的极低频率起作用，所以不断有极深的隆隆声和轻柔的轰鸣声。我和录音师正对着海湾，所以海浪一般都是在右边破浪而来，每个破浪的嘶嘶声都在这个海湾的看台中央扩散开来。这段录音是海滩上的 "直线 "冲浪，所以它并不是我特别追求的主要声音类型

描述：Recording made on 11th November 2012 with a Sony PCMM10 on a Hama minitripod, using the builtin microphones covered with a Rycote Mini Windjammer. I have used a graphic EQ profile in WavePad to compensate for the slight muffling of the sound caused by the Windjammer. http://www.broadhorizonnature.co.uk/shagrockperranporth500x375.jpg This photo of the Shag Rock headland was taken during my previous recording there.N.B. The sea and Shag Rock are bigger and further below than they look, because this is a longfocus shot. This recording was made on the very steep and rather precarious grassy slope below the rather exposed coast path a bit southwest of Perranporth, Cornwall, which contours the main cliff slope from near Cligga Head to Droskyn Point, at which latter point you are in Perranporth proper. It was made at exactly the same spot as http://www.freesound.org/people/Philip20Goddard/sounds/168716/, with the recorder pointing in the same direction. As in that recording, I placed the recorder on a very low drystone wall running down the slope, whose top was covered with vegetation, and the minor headland with Shag Rock connected at the headland's tip was ahead and somewhat to the right. This grassy slope ends just a little further below, in sheer and indeed more or less undercut cliff, so that the big waves are in a state of pandemonium as they hit the cliff (invisible to me on the steep slope above). However, the state of the sea is quite different from when I made that previous recording here. Then the sea was relatively smooth apart from a big Atlantic swell, which was tending to start breaking before meeting the cliffs. This time the swell itself was probably not quite so large, BUT the sea as a whole was much rougher, and the tide was higher, so that none of the waves were breaking before meeting the cliffs, apart from the odd transient local eruptive 'breakings' where a rebound wave interacted with an incoming one. One thing that mystified me was the absence of obvious deep booms and thumps from the undercut cliff immediately below me in this position because (a) they were quite a feature in the previous recording here and (b) before I arrived at this spot this time I had looked across the line of cliffs and had seen a real continuous mayhem occurring just there, with repeated violent eruptions of spray as the waves hit the cliff, and with distinct 'whoomphs' clearly audible from something like half a mile away (i.e. in addition to those coming from the Shag Rock ructions) but as it was undercut I wouldn't be able to see any of that once at that spot, but at least I should have been hearing those 'whoomphs', which, as I say, seemed to be lacking this time. However, the sea made up for that by giving a whole succesion of dramatic eruptions of spray, with heavy 'whoomphs', as it kept hitting Shag Rock and the attached cliff of that little headland. The plumes of spray regularly shot up to or higher than the top of the cliff there. Also, some of the 'whoomphs' are strangely extended. Each of those was accompanied by a violent jet of spray shooting up at a 45 degree angle back over the sea. I guess there might actually be a blowhole there responsible for that. It was a bit bold of me to be making this recording at all, for, at 4.30 in the afternoon in early to midNovember, the light was already fading, and by 5.0 the dusk would really be deepening (requiring care on the exposed and rather stony and uneven track) and, once I'd got to Perranporth I still would have to hitchhike (in the dark) back to Exeter. I cut out about 45 seconds of the recording, at about 2 minutes in, because of a loudly conversational couple of walkers passing by on the track above. I would not mind the odd quiet human noises, but this was too obtrusive. This recording actually has continuous very gentle wind noise in the microphones but most of the time it is impossible to tell how much of the gentle booming and rumbling is from the sea on the cliffs and how much from the wind. However, the frequent discrete heavy booms and rumbles are at least almost all not wind gusts but the sea yet again hitting the cliffs. Please note that only very good speakers / headphones with a very extended bass response will do this recording real justice. Also, it may sound unpleasantly boomy on speakers that have any sort of boominess (like my computer speakers). Please also note that the volume level of this recording has been carefully adjusted for listening purposes, and ALL my recordings so far are meant to be listened to with a volume setting that would give a realistic level for playback of CLASSICAL music (a large but not exceptional symphony orchestra). If you have the right volume setting, you should not need to change that setting from one recording of mine to another.(Later note: This recording with better sound than here is on one of my commercial CDs, and can be found in my eStore.)

描述：http://www.broadhorizonnature.co.uk/shagrockperranporth500x375.jpg 这段录音是在2012年12月18日的黄昏时分，在康沃尔郡佩兰波思西南面的一个非常陡峭和相当不稳定的海岸线下面的草坡上进行的，这条海岸线从Cligga Head附近到Droskyn Point的主要悬崖斜坡，在后一点你就在佩兰波思本土。它是在与http://www.freesound.org/people/Philip20Goddard/sounds/168716/完全相同的地点制作的，记录器指向相同的方向，海况相似但也有细微的不同。

描述：http://www.broadhorizonnature.co.uk/shagrockperranporth500x375.jpg This recording was made on 5th January 2013, on the very steep and rather precarious grassy slope below the rather exposed coast path a bit southwest of Perranporth, Cornwall, which contours the main cliff slope from near Cligga Head to Droskyn Point, at which latter point you are in Perranporth proper. It was made at exactly the same spot as http://www.freesound.org/people/Philip20Goddard/sounds/168716/, with the recorder pointing in the same direction, and with a similar but slightly bigger swell. As in that recording, I placed the recorder on a very low drystone wall running down the slope, whose top was covered with vegetation, and the minor headland with Shag Rock almost against its tip was ahead and somewhat to the right. This grassy slope ends just a little further below, in sheer and indeed more or less undercut cliff, so that the big waves are in a state of pandemonium as they hit the cliff (invisible to me on the steep slope above). I had an earlier start for my hike this time, owing to a more favourable hitchhike from Exeter to Portreath, and I was aiming to squeeze in a full hour's Shag Rock recording this time before it got too dark to be sensible to continue. However, it worked out a bit differently, because once I had got this recording under way, having first done a 'with' and 'without' test with my new Rode Deadkitten windshield, I wandered down a rather vague narrow, exposed and quite precarious little track descending obliquely to the left as one faces the sea, to see if I could find a yet more interesting spot to make a recording. In particular I had noticed that very often the heaviest and most thundering breaking of waves tended to be a bit to the left of where my regular recording position was facing. Anyway, I concluded that it was worth terminating this recording and commencing another in that other position, some way down there to the left and altogether closer and more exposed to the 'action'. This recording, therefore, is a little warmerup for you before you get hit by the second one :) This recording made with a Sony PCMM10 on a Hama minitripod, using the builtin microphones covered with a Rode Deadkitten. There was a force 3 to 4 breeze coming from the left, and without the windshield the wind noise was really intrusive and enough to clip at times (I cut that bit off the recording). With the Deadkitten I could not detect any wind noise at all. What a wonderful macho sort of feeling it gives me, to be able to let the world know that I'm using a dead animal to shield my microphones from the wind :) http://www.broadhorizonnature.co.uk/arrowlongright.gif Please note that all recordings from 5th January to 2nd Feb 2013, inclusive (i.e. including this one) did not receive any correction for highfrequency attenuation caused by the new Rode Dead Kitten windshield. Subsequently I was able to work out a graphic EQ profile to apply to all recordings that used that windshield, and have applied it retrospectively but I have no plans to go through the hassle of reuploading here the recordings that originally missed out on that correction. Therefore, copies of recordings made in that period, including this one, which I supply on CDs or as licensed copies for commercial use, will have better sound quality and will sound clearer, more 'present', and with more precision of detail than what you hear from here. Please note that only very good speakers / headphones with a very extended bass response will do this recording real justice.

描述：http://www.broadhorizonnature.co.uk/shagrockperranporth500x375.jpgA real corkerThis recording was made on 5th January 2013, yet again on the very steep and rather precarious grassy slope below the rather exposed coast path a bit southwest of Perranporth, Cornwall, which contours the main cliff slope from near Cligga Head to Droskyn Point, at which latter point you are in Perranporth proper but with a crucial difference this time, and let me say right away that, at least for me, this one is the highest in the 'wow' stakes of all my recordings so far. I had an earlier start for my hike this time as compared with my previous hikes when I got Shag Rock recordings, owing to a more favourable hitchhike from Exeter to Portreath, and I was aiming to squeeze in a full hour's Shag Rock recording this time before it got too dark for it to be sensible for me to continue. However, it worked out a bit differently, because once I had got my recording under way, at my usual spot on a very low drystone wall, this time I wandered down a rather vague narrow exposed and quite precarious little track descending obliquely to the left as one faces the sea, to see if I could find a yet more interesting spot to make a recording. In particular I had noticed that very often the heaviest and most thundering breaking of waves tended to be a bit to the left of where my regular recording position was facing. Anyway, I concluded that it was worth terminating the currently running recording and then to commence another in that other position, some way down there to the left, much closer to the actual cliff top and altogether closer and more exposed to the 'action'. The action around Shag Rock (to right), although still audible, is therefore somewhat more distant, BUT not only is the recorder now altogether closer to the thundering 'action' of the waves, often with tremendous eruptions of spray as powerful rebound waves meet the bigger incoming waves, but also now it is getting significant whoomphs from another spot on the cliff a bit further to the left, where plumes of spray frequently shoot up to as high as the recorder (though, thanks to an undercut immediately below the recorder, nothing came up quite that high at the recording position, otherwise I'd have retreated a bit for the sake of the recorder). Curiously, what seemed to be the loudest wallop of them all was not caused by a wave hitting the cliff at all, but by two breaking sections of a particularly big wave coalescing and evidently trapping a large volume of air under a fair weight of water, causing effectively a small explosion. What is really striking about this soundscape is that it feels so powerful and indeed menacing not just through brute force of sound but through the graceful and elegant movements of the water, as though this were some gargantuan ballet performance. In order to avoid one having to turn up the volume for this recording for the correct sound level, I adjusted it to a level at which a small number of thump / whoomph peaks clip somewhat, but I haven't been able to detect those clipping points in my own listening test, and so am happy to have made that compromise. This recording made with a Sony PCMM10 on a Hama minitripod, using the builtin microphones covered with a Rode Deadkitten. There was a force 34 breeze coming from the left, but it appears that the Deadkitten has been fully effective in eliminating any noticeable wind noise. http://www.broadhorizonnature.co.uk/arrowlongright.gif Please note that all recordings from 5th January to 2nd Feb 2013, inclusive (i.e. including this one) did not receive any correction for highfrequency attenuation caused by the new Rode Dead Kitten windshield.

If you have the right volume setting, you should not need to change that setting from one recording of mine to another. Oh, and finally (now the monkey tells us), I have yet to get a recording of a really wild sea here That will clearly be quite some recording challenge when it eventually happens (i.e., if it is to be done really well) :)(Later note: This recording with better sound than here is on one of my commercial CDs, and can be found in my eStore.)

描述：这段录音是2013年2月16日我在英国康沃尔郡Portreath到Perranporth的海岸线上徒步旅行时的午休时间录制的与我2012年11月19日在这里录制的地点完全相同。我是在Chapel Porth西南侧的峭壁上向海一侧的崖顶上记录的。从表面上看，这是一个非常标准的沙滩上的冲浪声，但尽管如此，它与11月19日的录音明显不同。当时潮水退得很厉害，因此，尽管海浪相当大，但对我来说，并不能很好地分辨出单个海浪的声音，因为这种声音在很大程度上被淹没在每个破损的海浪所发出的普遍嘶嘶声中。 然而，这一次，尽管海浪实际上只有前一次的一半大小，但潮水相当好，所以破浪发生得更近，因此，我听到了更清晰的个别破浪声的区别。因此，我惊讶地发现，这个相对不引人注目的海浪实际上为我提供了一个可爱的录音，在你的听觉系统中，如果有良好的立体声分离，你将能够在一个令人印象深刻的海洋声音全景中听到个别的破浪声几乎180度。因此，它实际上比这里的前一个录音更吸引人，尽管它的特殊 "戏剧 "是关于细节的错综复杂的相互作用，而不是任何形式的蛮力。 录音机的确切位置是在突出部的向海一侧，紧挨着一条相当暴露的狭窄小路，这条小路沿着非常陡峭的悬崖斜坡延伸，为下降到Chapel Porth提供了一条冒险感觉的非官方路线。在这个特殊的日子里，它也很方便，因为它可以避开强劲的南风尽管在这个场合，有些微风 "作弊"，沿着这里吹，大多是蒲福等级的3到4级（"轻度或中度"），在这个录音中来自左边尽管我不能肯定地识别任何麦克风的风声。 在这段录音中，有两架明显的飞机飞过，但我剪掉了受第一架飞机影响的2分钟左右的时间，因为它太响了，很有干扰性，但我留下了另一架飞机，因为它为连续的海声提供了一种平衡的 "标点"，而且这种干扰并不强烈，非常简短。我注意到的其他 "附带 "声音是冲浪者定期发出的非常遥远的声音，他们在Chapel Porth的海面上相互呼唤。他们都是在声音舞台的右侧。根据你的听觉条件/设备，你可能听到也可能听不到。 像往常一样，在我的自然声景录音中，如果有明显的海或风的成分，只有真正好的高保真扬声器或耳机，并具有扩展和合理的平坦的低音响应，才能使这个录音真正公正，因为在声音中有一个相当大的 "白噪声 "元素，如果没有这样准确的再现，就听起来不对。还请注意，这个录音的音量水平已经被仔细调整过了，到目前为止，我所有的录音都是为了听一个真实的古典音乐（一个大型但并不特别的交响乐团）的音量设置而进行的。如果你有正确的音量设置，你应该不需要从我的一个录音中改变这个设置。 用索尼PCMM10在Hama迷你三脚架上进行的录音，使用内置的麦克风，用Rode Dead Kitten防风罩覆盖。我在Audacity中使用了一个图形EQ配置文件来补偿挡风玻璃造成的轻微消音。 http://www.broadhorizonnature.co.uk/surfrecordingchapelporth_130216400.jpg这张照片是在这个录音运行时拍摄的。

描述：这段录音是在2012年12月18日，我在英国康沃尔郡Portreath到Perranporth的海岸小道上徒步旅行时的午休时间录制的。这是一个非常标准的沙滩上的冲浪声，但与我以前的录音不同，因为我在悬崖顶上，所以高频的声音被削弱了，因为它们不像低频那样传播得那么远（因此雷电的声音缺乏高频率成分，除非它在附近被击中）。因此，这次的声音更像是咆哮和雷鸣，而不是嘶嘶声尽管它自然不是那么响亮，因为我离大海很远。 在这段录音中，有一架轻型飞机飞过，总的来说，我选择不剪掉这一段，因为它给其他相当不稳定的声音提供了一种平衡的 "标点"，而且这种侵入并不强烈，非常短暂。 在我的自然声景录音中，像往常一样，有大量的海或风的成分，只有真正好的高保真扬声器或耳机，具有扩展和合理的平坦的低音响应，才能使这个录音真正公正，因为在声音中有相当大的非常低的频率成分，这在普通的扬声器系统中往往是令人不愉快的繁荣。请注意，这个录音的音量水平已经被仔细调整过了，到目前为止，我所有的录音都是为了听一个真实的古典音乐（一个大型但并不特别的交响乐团）的音量设置而进行的。如果你有正确的音量设置，你应该不需要从我的一个录音中改变这个设置。 用索尼PCMM10在Hama迷你三脚架上进行的录音，用Rycote Mini Windjammer覆盖的内置话筒。我在WavePad中使用了一个图形均衡器配置文件来补偿Windjammer造成的轻微消音。(后记：这段录音声音比这里好在我的一张商业CD上，可以在我的电子商店。) 请记得给这个录音评分！ http://www.broadhorizonnature.co.uk/meicon_wink.gif

描述：来自伦敦皮卡迪利广场的一般氛围。使用Zoom H6'板载立体声胶囊录制。

描述：几个渔民站在悬崖上，从那里向海里挥动鱼钩；他们讲阿拉伯语。

描述：2013年1月9日，在佩纳利山（英国康沃尔郡博斯凯尔港）靠近佩纳利角的海边低处进行的录音，海水直接冲到悬崖边上。 这里是非常崎岖的岩石地带，通常情况下，大西洋的海浪在这里会更大，因此听起来更壮观；在这个场合，它实际上仍然相当温和，尽管比我之前在2012年6月20日这个位置的录音要多得多。 重复的重击声和'whoomphs'是在海浪撞击悬崖上的各种裂缝和小洞穴的末端时产生的。 较重的声音主要来自于这个录音中正中偏左的一个特殊的小洞穴，我认为它是博卡斯尔吹气孔的向海面（即'接受端'）。 在这段录音中，吹气孔向海的一面，所有沉重的轰鸣声和呜咽声都在左边，录音师面向大海，右边也有一些剧烈的海上活动，但发出的轰鸣声和呜咽声要微妙得多，往往被左边的连续骚动所淹没了。 http://www.broadhorizonnature.co.uk/recordingbyboscastleblowholeseawardsidefacingseaward.jpg 这段录音是用索尼PCMM10放在Hama迷你三脚架上，用Rode Deadkitten覆盖的内置话筒录制的。有一股非常轻微的微风从右边吹来，但在录音中完全注意不到。 可提供此录音的更高质量版本我上传到Freesound的录音是标准CD质量（44.1KHz，16位）。从我2013年1月9日的录音开始，我所有的录音都可以用48KHz 24位的FLAC格式来补充。如果有兴趣，请看我的Broad Horizon Natural Soundscapes页面了解详情。http://www.broadhorizonnature.co.uk/arrowlongright.gif 请注意，2013年1月5日至2月2日（包括这次）的所有录音没有收到任何由新Rode Dead Kitten风箱造成高频衰减的修正。后来，我想出了一个图形均衡配置文件，适用于所有使用该防风罩的录音，并已追溯应用 但我没有计划通过麻烦的方式重新上传最初错过修正的录音。因此，在那个时期制作的录音副本，包括这个，我提供的CD或作为商业用途的许可副本，将有更好的音质，听起来更清晰，更 "存在"，比你从这里听到的细节更精确。 请注意，只有非常好的扬声器/耳机，具有非常宽广的低音响应，才能真正实现这段录音。此外，在有任何形式的繁荣的扬声器上，它可能听起来令人不愉快的繁荣（如我的电脑扬声器！）。还请注意，这个录音的音量水平已经被仔细调整过了，到目前为止，我所有的录音都是为了听一个真实的音量设置来播放古典音乐（一个大型但不特别的交响乐团）的。如果你有正确的音量设置，你应该不需要从我的一个录音中改变这个设置。(后记：这段录音声音比这里好在我的一张商业CD上，可以在我的电子商店。)

描述：Recording made on 9th January 2013, on the very tip of the top of the Willapark headland (highest point is 97 metres above sea level) on the southwest side of the mouth of Boscastle Harbour, Cornwall, UK. The cliffs here are all very rugged and slabby, mostly being of slate and related rock types, and the southwest tip of this very steep sided to precipitous abrupt hulk of a headland (with coastguard lookout on top) consists of only sparsely vegetated slaty slabs, which jut out aggressively at that southwest tip. On this day I had come up high actually looking for some wind so that I could hang a smallish set of wind chimes on a clifftop tree and make a recording of that, but in the event there was almost no wind up on top, so wind chimes were 'out' and I was thinking that probably my recording for the day was already finished, following my blowhole and related recordings far below. Up here on Willapark it seemed at first to be almost silent, but, particularly when I got over to that exceptionally exposed and 'panoramic' spot the furthestout jutting tip of slabby rock on that southwest end of the top of this headland actually there was here a most amazing aural panorama of distant wave altercations with rugged and complex cliffs. And, what's more, that most outstanding tip of rock just happened to be just right for placing my minitripod really securely. http://www.broadhorizonnature.co.uk/recordingboscastlewillaparkahead.jpghttp://www.broadhorizonnature.co.uk/recordingboscastlewillaparkleft.jpghttp://www.broadhorizonnature.co.uk/recordingboscastlewillaparkright.jpgYes, that really is the recorder actually in the process of making this recording, on the very tip of the rock, on the left Meachard rock island to right. It was thus that I surprised myself by getting this actually quite marvellous recording that I had never before thought of taking. The aural cliffs / sea panorama covers something like 270 degrees (yes, I do mean that much), with the recorder facing squarely southwest to Firebeacon Hill, which latter blocks the view of the more distant coastline to Tintagel and beyond. Thus to the left the sea is pounding and thumping on the cliffs right round into Western Blackapit (behind / left), while that sound becomes increasingly distant round to Firebeacon Hill (ahead), and then round to the right you have the relative silence of the open sea until you get to Meachard rock island (behind / right) and very likely some of the thumps in that direction also coming up from the bottom of this headland, which is hidden from me up here. You really have to tune into this recording and listen carefully to really get the best out of it, for otherwise it can easily seem to be just a rather undifferentiated wash of distant sea sound. It greatly helps to have a very wide stereo separation for your listening, and really good headphones should pick out the details more clearly. You may notice what seems to be very slight wind noise in the righthand microphone at times, but I can assure you that what that really is, is a multitude of very distant thumps and whoomphs from the sea's arguments with a multitude of obstructive bits of cliff, I think particularly on Meachard island. Indeed, the extremely light breeze when I arrived up here fell to actual calm, so the faint booming / drumming sounds had to be coming from another source anyway. This recording was made with a Sony PCMM10 on a Hama minitripod, using the builtin microphones covered with a Rode Deadkitten, though with almost no wind to absolute calm. Higher quality version of this recording availableThe recordings that I upload to Freesound are of standard CD quality (44.1KHz, 16bit). As from my recordings made on 9th January 2013, all my recordings are additionally available in 48KHz 24bit, FLAC format. If interested, please see my Broad Horizon Natural Soundscapes page for details.http://www.broadhorizonnature.co.uk/arrowlongright.gif Please note that all recordings from 5th January to 2nd Feb 2013, inclusive (i.e. including this one) did not receive any correction for highfrequency attenuation caused by the new Rode Dead Kitten windshield. Subsequently I was able to work out a graphic EQ profile to apply to all recordings that used that windshield, and have applied it retrospectively but I have no plans to go through the hassle of reuploading here the recordings that originally missed out on that correction. Therefore, copies of recordings made in that period, including this one, which I supply on CDs or as licensed copies for commercial use, will have better sound quality and will sound clearer, more 'present', and with more precision of detail than what you hear from here. (Later note: This recording with better sound than here is on one of my commercial CDs, paired with a springtime recording from the same headland; for that, go to my eStore.) Please note that only very good speakers / headphones with a very extended bass response will do this recording real justice. Please also note that the volume level of this recording has been carefully adjusted for listening purposes, and ALL my recordings so far are meant to be listened to with a volume setting that would give a realistic level for playback of CLASSICAL music (a large but not exceptional symphony orchestra). If you have the right volume setting, you should not need to change that setting from one recording of mine to another. In the case of this recording, it really is meant to be quiet. Please remember to give this recording a rating http://www.broadhorizonnature.co.uk/meicon_wink.gif
