Since I started working for Comcast SportsNet, I've realized that I've been neglecting my blog! However, I recently had a fun field recording experience I wanted to share.
Some of the very first recordings I ever captured were from the hoop and key mics I'd set up at McArthur Court during Ducks basketball games. I've recently been covering Portland Timbers home games for CSNNW, and I wanted to capture some of the great crowds at Providence Park.
I left my Zoom H1 set up in the in the press box, positioned out of an open window and aimed across the field at the Timbers Army.
I did have some issues with other media people talking in the background during some of the better recordings, which is to be expected since I had the mic in a public place. What I'd like to attempt next is to position a shotgun mic at the Timbers army section from the press box, perhaps hanging out of the box.
Anyway, for not having a bunch of gear with me to position around the field, there were some nice surprises that came from the recordings. Although because of the almost constant drumming, even the good distant perspective cheering/booing reactions aren't practical to use on a project.
Here are a few of the recordings to check out:
