Recordist's notes

Voices and random ambient sounds in a nice hotel restaurant during a busy lunchtime. Rather muffled sound due to my recorder and rucksack being laid on the floor by the window which seems to have emphasised the low frequencies. I applied a little low cut to help but not very successfully. MixPre 6 II and two Sennheiser MKH 8020s
