Cannon Beach, Oregon, United States
Oceans, Lakes, and Waves

I went to the Oregon coast to record some ocean sounds but the weather didn't cooperate with a lot of wind, rain, and constant waves so I only managed this one recording of waves hitting some rocks and receding. The first big splash actually hit the mics and myself.
Recorded with AT4021 mics into a modified Marantz PMD661. Some fades and slight EQ to reduce the background waves done with Reason.
