bluround® is an innovative thorough and comfortable multichannel microphone technique.
After few years spent in researches and tests, in 2006 I came out with the definitve version, developed to accomplish the client's requests, mainly directors, to catch with the best quality and no time wasted setting up mics, the natural environment sound.
The technique itself don't need processors or external electronic devices during the take, but experience, skills and a good mic placement keeping the engineer light and easy as much as the basic equipment needed to get a good recording. During the post-production step, the editor and/or the mixing engineer have some chance to retouch and improve the take.

The downloadable files are atmos track recorded during the production of film actually on the market.
The files are Broadcast Wave .wav, multichannel 5.0, 48Khz 24bit.

Seawaves

The recording catches a very difficult environment, with strong wind about 60Km/h and impervious sea with very long unpredictable waves.
The distance from the wave breaking is not ideal, but was the closest I could stay to have a safety margin not to get swept away.
