New Year's Recording

[Brendan Rehill]

Hi folks,

Anyone planning to do recordings of the turn into the New Year? 

I'm going to be on Achill Island, off the west coast of Ireland so planning to do quite a bit of recording over several days. Also, pipe bands supposedly play at midnight for New Year's so I'll definitely be capturing that. Perhaps also some pub ambiences... y'know... research!

I am, i messed it up last year, or should i say this year. After midnight i went out with my mics and my zoom H2, just to be sure that i would have something. The mics was set too loud, and the zoom H2 just got pebbles. So lesson learned.

Alas i live out in the country side, so only fireworks present, is what my family and i light up.

I had a go at it, and it got a lot better than last year. Alas i had to place the mics under a roof, to avoid too much rain. You can find some of the recording here: http://www.freesound.org/people/Kyster/sounds/172938/
