I think I mentally try and shut these things out as they can be physically traumatic experiences.
Randy: What are the loudest of loud things you’ve ever recorded? I can only imagine what the microphones were going through. I had pain in my chest and stomach from the pressure. I wanted to know more about how they approach field recording of extremely loud material, so I asked a couple high Sound Pressure Level veterans: Chuck Russom and Michael Raphael. So field recordists point microphones at some crazy loud sources – the kind of stuff that is so big and energetic, they tend to record outside. Folks on Twitter and Facebook mentioned some loud things they’ve recorded: a glass armonica, a banda trombone, a screaming toddler, a piledriver, a mile-long BNSF freight train coupling boxcars at 20 feet, implosion of Texas stadium brought down with C4, and an OgreCat being electrocuted and then set aflame! It seemed like the loudest thing I had ever recorded – louder than a drum kit, louder than an electric guitar cabinet. I remember a challenging studio recording session with highland bagpipes. In this special guest interview, Randy talks with recording and SFX veterans Michael Raphael and Chuck Russom about their methods, experiences – and hard-earned lessons – recording stuff that’s LOUD. He’s hugely into microphones and recording techniques – and he really knows his stuff. When it comes to microphones, I don’t think I’ve ever come across anyone with quite the same level of enthusiasm as Randy Coppinger. Aircraft – Jet/Propeller Plane Sound Effects.
