I have and use a BLUE Snowball USB mic, mostly for phonography purposes. Here's some collected recordings I've made with the Snowball of ambient weather in three cases, and of a running refrigerator compressor motor (by request of someone either on this list or the ct-collective list, I can't remember at the moment). http://www.subscapeanne.com/other/snowfall_at_imbolc.mp3 http://www.subscapeanne.com/other/bog_night_wind_1.mp3 http://www.subscapeanne.com/other/ambient_postrain.mp3 http://www.subscapeanne.com/other/fridgemp3.mp3 These would be more useful if I'd been recording with another rig simultaneously for comparison, but this is what I've got to share today. best, Steve B Subscape Annex http://www.subscapeannex.com/
