With only a couple of days left in Noosa I wanted to capture a
few last sounds before we left, so I went out for a walk with my
gear. I knew there were some tennis courts nearby so I
headed in that direction as I don’t have any tennis sounds yet.
It was juts the local tennis club and they were happy for me to
stand around with a microphone for a while. (You would be
amazed how uncomfortable some people get when there is a
mic around; these guys were cool with it)
I got some really good material because there were both men
and women playing so I managed to get some good sounds of
people exerting them selves as they went for shots or played
the more powerful shots. Of course I also got the impacts of the
tennis balls on the racket, court and net and the typical squeaky
shoes. I must have spent close to an hour there and I got into
watching a couple of the matches as the players were really
pretty good.

On my way out from the tennis courts I noticed a guy messing
around with the back of this unusual truck. The sign on the
truck read “Concrete mixing” so I guess that’s what it was, but
he was actually cleaning the system out after having used it. It
was making some cool grinding and clunking sounds as the
pump cycled without any concrete in it. He was also using a
long metal pole to dislodge the built up concrete. Very
interesting looking gear and made some good sounds. Once
again I just happened to be in the right place at the right time for
that one. Both the tennis and the concrete mixer were pretty straight
forward to record as I didn’t have much background sound to
worry about as they were in a quiet part of Noosa. It was really
just a case of position myself where it sounded good and point
the shotgun mic at the target. I wish all recording sessions were
this easy.
