Recordist's notes

The sound of Atlanta on a Saturday afternoon, as heard from the patio of a condo. The traffic wasn't particularly heavy, but cars are still heard prominently. At certain points, muffled sounds from the condo bleed into the microphones. It was gusty, so subtle wind sounds can also be heard. Minor processing was applied in post. [Tascam DR-100mkiii, on-board uni mics & windmuff]
