Recordist's notes

Ambiance of the balcony with cars passing, some small talks of children at a moment, some quiet moment also .. it was just a test of mics but it seems to me quite interesting to post here. (extracted a bit randomly from a longer one) Recorded with 2 CM4 (Line Audio) in approximately ORTF setting and a Mixerface R4 audio recorder
