The other day I took the opportunity to test out my new Shure MV88<\/a> mic (Christmas present) with it’s dead cat. It was not a particularly windy day but there was a stiff breeze higher up the hill where I recorded this.

I think the mic worked very well I would have expected it to be too windy without it. I am not sure how much is down to the Shure and how much to the dead cat.<\/p>\n

Using the mic you need to use the Motiv Audio app<\/a> if you want to set the mic. I used the Mono Cardioid pattern with the gain turned up. I left the wind reduction off.

I I had 5 pieces of audio to edit together. After a brief fling with ferrite<\/a> 1<\/sup><\/a> I switched to GarageBand which did the job. Exported to a shortcut that uploaded to my blog.<\/p>\n

I think that microcasts should really be one take rather than multitrack, but keep getting tempted to edit. The Motiv app allows you to pause audio and then record more, but I wonder if that would be lost if there was a large time lapse, other apps switched to etc.<\/p>\n
