Snowstorms

Frank Bry, known as The Recordist, has published a fantastic post on his blog talking about snowstorms, including sounds, videos, and some great tips.

The third week of January 2012 proved to be a goldmine for snow sound effects here on the ranch. The typical North Idaho winter finally arrived bringing with it lots of snow, wind and freezing temperatures.

The week started with a bunch of snow falling along with some very cold temperatures. As the winter storm progressed and the weather systems above were battling it out for supremacy, the wind came. Not a soft blowing winter wind but some strong sustained blizzard like winds with gusts up to 65 MPH.

    Hey Frank, good work! I’m curious, how many layers did you use to create this sound-scape? I live in Arizona and was trying to record some of the dust storms we had over this past summer. Nothing came out, it just sounded like white noise (even though it wasn’t clipping). What did you do to get the texture of the wind? Regardless, this sounds amazing!
