Recordist's notes

By chance the Abbey was ringing its bells for a wedding. I tried to enhance the sound by laying the microphones flat on a path to capture reflected sound in addition to the direct sound. I am not certain if this works but it's fun to try. MixPre 6 II with 2 Sennheiser MKH 8020s 32bit 48khz.
