Nature Recordings

[David W. Richardson]

Talk about sucking the life out of the party...

Sorry. I never needed alcohol or drugs to be happy or have fun. Having tinnitus myself, I would gladly give up alcohol if it would make the tinnitus better. But that's just me.

it was a joke.

Speaking of nature recording, here's a story by Tim Dee subject of a 30min documentary Into the Wind is on BBC4 at 7.30pm today (Weds, April 12). I haven't seen it but sounds interesting (<--get it.. SOUNDS interesting.

The man who interviewed the wind
He has spent three decades making recordings – but has never captured the wildest sound on Earth. So, armed with his trusty fluffy dog on a stick, Tim Dee heads for the Wash to find the perfect wind

Might I suggest that a loud waterfall in the forest might be the ticket. I suspect that nature sounds idea really is to create a masking noise. Beaches have a periodicity to the waves that you recognize and the volume is inconsistent. Put water protection over your stuff and close mic it with a mic that rejects well behind itself, and the normal forest sounds will be trivial. You might play with the eq of the recording to best mask your tinnitus. An experiment even with a one hour clip would be adequate to see if it even works before you undertake a long recording time. Because the noise is more random, you might even get away with looping it.
