I picked up one of these doodads to come up with samples and have been playing around with it, but don't have the slightest clue how to position it to get good storm sounds without it getting drenched.

Does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing?

i myself don't mind the noise but they usually come with a pillow like sock. i once used an actual sock and it was fine but again, i don't mind the disturbances.

I actually tried it with a little canvas bag, but it ended up getting soaked. I don't mind the noise, either. I actually got some nice rumbling, distorted sounds of a train going by that I'll probably end up using for something.

I also tried putting it inside a shed outside, but it ended up sounding like crap due to the crappy shingling on the roof.

Maybe through some EQing I can make them sound satisfactory, but I'd rather have them sound good right from the beginning like the recordings I got off the information superhighway do.

I'm curious, how do you use your field recordings?

I plan to use them for background texture when I'm making atmospheric music.
