Recordist's notes
The end of a warm day. People are returning to the street to park, the last tourists are walking back to their hotel and the gulls and pigeons watch. A calm sea is in the far distance. The mics are between a low wall and the side of the house producing a slightly different acoustic. MixPre 6 II with 2 Sennheiser MKH 8020s. 32bit x 48khz reduced to Mp3 320kbps. I have tried some very small amounts of limiting on each channel and a high pass around 100hz.
