Bonus! Cousin It

I recently made some wind protection for my SAAM Microphone in order to get better recordings on windy days. Several people remarked that it looked like Cousin It from the Addams Family, so that's what I've started calling it. I went to Medicine Lake, in Modoc National Forest, on a very cold and windy day in order to test it out, and these are the results.

These are the raw files straight from the recorder(Zoom F6) with no editing of any kind. All I did was apply a five second fade to the beginning and end of each clip and combine them into one audio file.

The first minute and a half is the mic with only the wind protection I got from the manufacturer, and the second minute and a half is the mic with Cousin It(the wind protection I made). I don't have an anemometer so I can't say exactly what speed the wind was blowing, but I can say that it was blowing pretty hard. I'm guessing the stronger gusts were 25-30 miles per hour(40-48 kilometers per hour). The spot by the lake I did the test was surrounded by Lodgepole Pine, you can clearly hear the wind blowing through them in the background.

I was pretty happy with how it worked, Cousin It did a great job of protecting the mic from the wind. I look forward to using Cousin It to get recordings for you without fear of the microphone being overwhelmed by unwanted wind noise.
