OK, here's some fun stuff from the vaults.  I have a .wav file of a recording I made during some military live fire exercises in the California desert. It is a sequence of a military attack on an imaginary "enemy" which includes M1-A1 tank cannon fire, howitzers, troops firing M-16s while advancing, and Harrier jet flyovers up close - all from varying distances that get down to less than 100 yards for the M1-A1 cannon shots, right in front of you. Ouch!


This is a .wav file of about 22 megabytes for the stereo file, which can be burned to CD for some good 'ol lease-breaking fun. Just be careful with your hyper-expensive speakers though until you get a feel for the sound levels!

As before, this is an un-released recording from my personal archives that I recorded myself, and it was never in commercial release.  It contains NO songs by Britney Spears. 

Thanks Soundhound.

You've posted it on a fast server / service. I was able to grab it in less than 30 seconds.

Sounds impressive - even on my office set-up. Can't wait to take it home and try it out tonight.

About 20 years ago I hung a microphone out my apartment window during a massive thunderstorm (I know, I know. Not the brightest thing to do!) and captured some pretty impressive explosive sounds - unfortunately only onto cassette - including a direct lightning strike to a tree not more than a few hundred yards away. If I can ever find the recording (and get my cassette deck back from the shop - where it's been for seven months) I'll transfer and post it.

Soundhound, that actually was a lot more melodic than anything Britney Spears has ever crooned.

Nice work; it gave me a claustrophobic feel listening to it on my headphones. Its definitely not something I would want coming my direction (the live fire, not Britney).

Interesting to say the least

Play it LoUd!!

Well, what were you using?

Using? For what??

Mics, stereo technique, etc.

Sony DAT recorder, M-S microphone. Transferred and sample rate converted in ProTools.

SH, the site seems to be unavailable. I'd like to download it..........
