Night Time I

This is my first submission to the site. I've recently been exploring sound design a little bit more and thought I would provide something.

Here is 15 minutes of ambient sound recorded around 5 AM on October 10th, 2011. I used a Shure SM58 microphone through a Native Instruments Audio 8 DJ interface.

Without a microphone amplifier or my active microphone ready to use I ended up amplifying this about 52 dB then removed the extraneous noise by 80% @ 40 dB using the Noise Reduction plug-in in Adobe Audition CS5.5. Finally, saving the result to WAV @ 44,100 Hz, 16-bit.
