Recordist's notes

I managed to capture first snowflakes hitting the metal roof. I accidentally noticed, it was snowing outside, so decided to try recording the snowflakes. I used Tascam DR-40 portable recorder (Capsules were set to X-Y stereo configuration) and cleaned my recording with Audacity native noise reduction plugin. Recording was done from my 4th floor window.
