Korea COVID Travel BlogSo as I step onto my balcony as you may have heard at the end of in my room tour video there is a very loud and interesting atmosphere of sounds!
So decided to do a recording, after all I am a sound engineer, and i’m sure my friends in theatre sound design might find it useful. I’ve recently bought a new microphone for capturing this type of sound so using that and my average quality audio interface i’ve recorded 30 minutes of atmos from outside my apartment.
There is alot of insects and birds, with cars going past and the occasional person. There is some noise from other people within the apartment building but I thought if I did a long enough recording there would be enough content there for people to use. I also get a bit of wind noise which is weird as it isn’t windy and the microphone is sheltered with the supplied wind shield. I guess the supplied wind shield isn’t up to scratch (i’ll have to buy a Rycote) and directional microphones are more susceptible to wind noise.
Anyway I hope there is enough stuff on there you can use.
The above is an AAC stream, but you can download the raw recording here as a 48kHz 24-bit Wave File.
Feel free to use it however you wish!
