Charles Maynes and Frank Bry have been friends and admirers of each other’s work for decades. They combined forces for the new sound effects library BLAST, that featuresincredible explosion recordings. They talk about the process of recording Tannerite, dynamite, debris and lots more. Plus they discuss their thoughts on 32bit recording, the importance of creativity in field recording and what is gained after years of practice with recorders and microphones.

This was a great! It made me realize though how much I don’t know about sound recording (but would live to learn). I stumbled on this podcast because I have been trying to record fireworks and music at the same time and the music gets quiet and distorted when the fireworks get loud. I am thinking of trying the 32 bit to see if that helps but am also looking for an omnidirectional dynamic outdoor microphone or another idea these gentlemen might have. In any case it was a good listen and inspiring to hear people trying to perfect their craft!
Thanks for listening James! Glad you found the show and learned a bunch. Music and fireworks at the same time would be super tricky. Good Luck!
