Recordist's notes
Sorry for the wind noise. I really wanted to listen to the traffic on my commute from outside of the comfort of my car, but the only day I could go and record recently it was very windy! I don't want to take too much bass away because it's such a big part of the sound. But you can hear the poor Naiant X-X mics banging against the fence when the breeze picks up. The road with its heavy load of traffic sounds relentless and you can forget the volume you are part of inside the car. It's good sometimes to listen from outside it.
