Last week I took a three-day recording trip up north to capture high-speed rail trains and station ambience for my Taiwan train sound library. The highlight of the trip was the first day when I recorded the high speed rail train (bullet train) pass-by’s. Unfortunately it was quite a...
A lot of noise has been coming from my neighbors the past couple days. They’re removing the tiles from their outside walls and floor to put in new ones. Since they’re attached to concrete/bricks, the only way to remove them is by using some type of electric jackhammer. So...
On September 28, 2015 super typhoon Dujuan hit Taiwan. In a brave move to record this dangerous natural phenomenon, tempting the hand of fate and having no regard for self injury or even death…I set up in the garage and recorded from the comforts of my own home. ...
This was just one of those random things. I was in my studio preparing for a voice recording when I heard this really loud engine noise outside. At first I thought it was the mosquito smoker guys (think leaf blower with smoke shooting out). Whatever it was wasn’t real...
Back in November 2013, I searched the Donggang area for interesting sounds. I found a little park after dark and went out on to the beach. After climbing over some concrete “wave breakers/things that keep enemy landing parties at bay” I found something interesting to record… There were a...

It came time for me to pick up a new slip-on exhaust for my bike. I wanted the weight savings of an aftermarket exhaust as well as the power increase. What I didn’t want was a headache and pissed off looks from people as I drove by. I wanted...
I recorded some wicked sounding cicadas last week in the mountains. I got stopped by an old gate. When I took off my helmet to have a listen, MAN I couldn’t believe how creepy it all sounded. I’ve been recording a lot in the mountains recently. Partially because I...
It has been some time since my last post. Unfortunately my SPS200 developed a major noise problem. It happened when I was testing my gear before going out recording.
A recent discussion over at gearslutz opened my eyes to a major problem (for me) of my Tascam DR-680: Unacceptable phantom power noise at higher gain. I have the Busman Mod, which lowers the overall noise of the unit. However, according to a poster in that thread, the mod...
