Recordist's notes

The recorder is on the ground in a rucksack with the mics attached. It is close by a gravel path where many people pass. Beyond are ornamental gardens. Behind is a road to the car park. I have found sometimes when the surface is good placing the mics on the ground gives a semi boundary mic effect. MixPre 3 with 2 x Rode NT5s
