Taking a stroll on the shore of Lake Michigan. 

A short stroll down the shore of Lake Michigan. 

This episode was recorded with a DPA headset. So if you’re wearing headphones, the first half of the recording you’ll hear the waves in one ear and the ambience of beach goers in the other. You’ll hear when I’ve turned around to head back from where I came, as the waves and people switch ears, making for a truly immersive listening experience.

These are beautiful, binaural Outdoor Sounds.

Relaxing camping atmosphere from within a tent at Hocking Hills Campsite.

Relaxing in a tent as a storm blows in at Hocking Hills Campsite in scenic Logan, Ohio.  

This recording was made at the campsite from inside the tent. Listen for classic camp sounds like ambient talking, cars driving past, birds, and the wind picking up before a storm blew in. 

Recorded in stereo with the Zoom F3 and LOM basicUcho microphones.

This is Outdoor Sounds.

A steady midsummer rain shower in West Michigan.

Today you’re listening to a long, steady rain shower on a quiet midsummer afternoon. Listen for the rain falling on the leaves of a Japanese maple tree and the darkening sidewalk. 

This was recorded in stereo with the Zoom F3 and LOM basicUcho microphones.

Energetic early birds at Hocking Hills State Park Campground in Ohio.

The most songbird activity I’ve ever heard. Recorded at my campsite in Hocking Hills State Park Campground in Ohio. 

These birds certainly put the early in earlybird. They woke me at 5:30 AM, I started recording at 6 AM. 

The majority of the recording is birds, but I do want you to pay attention to one louder call about 1/3 of the way into the recording. It was a bird doing a mating song and dance on the ground, just a few feet away from the mic. He was really putting on a show.

This early-morning recording was captured in stereo with my Zoom F3 and LOM basicUcho mics.

This is Outdoor Sounds.
