Sounds of Old Farm Machines with a 416.

Hey guys, maybe I should have put up the audio only as 96 kbits instead of a video/audio stream which reduces audio to 64 kbits... but I wanted you to see how directional the 416 is. I appologize for the crappiness of the video too. My intention is to show the rich, full sound of the 416 and how amazing it's off-axis rejection is. The sound in this environment was chaotic and noisy... when you view the clip you'll get the impression that you could clearly hear each machine seperately but THAT'S THE MIC! Notice as I point the cam/mic at individual parts of each machine it can even seperate the sound of each component... amazing? I thought so.

Some of you guys already realize this, but the dvx is a pretty good digital recorder when you don't even care about the video!

Wow this was one of the best examples of all the online samples i have heard! Really shows the rejection and gives a way better understanding of this mic. How about Sanken guys ? Anyone have samples of cs1 just like Matt did here. Good going, thanks a lot!

Thanks Guys! LOL, I laugh my ass off at the sounds of these machines every time I hear 'em...  :D  I should put up another clip that's more practical because I could talk to one of the old guys who was proudly displaying his collection. It was really loud as 7 of these were running on one big trailer. He stood next to it as I asked him some mundane questions and you could clearly hear every word he said... you could still hear the machines, but his voice is much more pronounced. His voice totally dissappears when the mic isn't pointing directly at his mouth.

I don't think the farm clip above needs much more explanation, but I should have switched to the onboard mics for a minute (I didn't) because the 416 gives you the impression that each machine was a clearly seperated collection of noises. To capture the real sound of them in person I'd have had to stand 8' away and get the WHOLE SOUND of each machine.

This mic is like one of those machines that seperates change... you can just point it at a pile of money and say, "now let's just get the pennies".... and it does it.
