Chicago, Illinois, United States

Soundscape of a city street in Chicago during winter. Sunday, January 31st 2016 at 6:05pm. Continual planes, trains, and cars passing. Occasional pedestrians. CTA "L" trains audible at the nearby Thorndale Red Line stop.

Mic: Core Sound Tetramic
Recorder: Zoom F8

Converted to B format using VVTetraVST, then processed to stereo as wide cardioids at + and - 45 degrees using Ambisonics Toolkit (ATK). Light noise reduction applied using Izotope RX 7 Spectral De-noise. High pass filter applied to reduce low end rumble. Some editing done to remove wind buffeting.

Please note that this is a 48k 24bit FLAC file - FLAC files can be easily read and converted by Audacity [https://www.audacityteam.org/] and Reaper [http://reaper.fm/], among others.
