During the break I took a trip with my Dad up to Wales to visit some of our family there. Much of North Wales has a lot of forests and wooded areas which are situated away from any roads or general civilisation. We climbed to the top of Abergele mountain and I sat on my own in the middle of the woods on top of it for about 10 mins. I had unfortunately lent my Zoom H4N and so I had to bring my laptop and plug the shotgun mic into my interface and record directly into Adobe Audition. There was some really pleasant birdsong I managed to capture as well as the wind and the tops of the thinner trees creaking and tapping against each other. Overall I’m really happy with the recording and It’ll feel much more satisfying to use that recording instead of something from a sound library
