Field Site Assignment PART 1

ROLLING HILLS WIND FARM

Recording 1 listen HERE
  • Rolling Hills Wind Farm - Massena, Iowa
  • 9/30/17 - 6:30pm
  • Zoom H6 - XY capsules at 120 degrees
  • Spontaneous bursts of wind, this recording borders on too dense due to the proximity of the mic to the wind turbine. Mobile capture, the mic was slowly angled upward towards the blades of the turbine near the end of the recording.  
Recording 2 listen HERE
  • Rolling Hills Wind Farm - Massena, Iowa
  • 9/30/17 - 5:30pm
  • Zoom H6 - MS capsule
  • Same wind conditions as recording 1, this recording is backed up quite a bit from the same wind turbine with tall stalks of corn on both sides which seemed to aid in wind reduction. Lots of insect chatter as well as corn leaves brushing against one another from the wind. Stationary recording pointing towards the wind turbine.

Recording 2 - listen HERE 9/23 - 8:30pm Atwater Park - low to moderate traffic, very windy Zoom H6 - XY mic capsules at 120-degrees on a stand, two NT3 mics handheld pointed in the opposite direction from the Zoom mics. The NT3 mics isolated and captured a few pedestrians walking, you can clearly here keys jingling on one person as they walk by.  The was quite gusty so the mics would occasionally get hit with wind noise even with sufficient protection.  If I were to record in this kind of a windy envi...
