[MacDV] re: wind noise

[David Cole]

The best solution is to NOT have any wind... barring that, NOT 
recording the blasts of wind. You can help the cause by using a large 
windscreen that diffuses the energy before it hits the capsule. Even an 
oversized foam windscreen for a larger mike will help. I slipped one 
over the stereo onboard mike, secured it with a tie wrap, and it helped 
a bunch. If your mike has a Hi Pass filter on it, switch it on before 
recording. This will chop off frequencies below 100 Hz or so and much 
of the wind noise won't have a chance to overload the gain control of 
the camcorder  or distort the recording. Hope this helps. If you're 
stuck with recorded wind, try rolling off as much bottom as steeply as 
you can and see if you can salvage it.
