Recording parks and recreation sound effect at Echo Park in Los Angeles

Echo Park is both a neighborhood and a park in Los Angeles near trendy areas like Silver Lake and Downtown. This beautiful recreational park was originally intended in the late 1800s as a reservoir to provide water to LA. However, after the Los Angeles Canal and Reservoir Company realized their venture was doom to fail they gave their land to the city which was made into an English-style park.

About sounds recorded at the park

You will hear many bird sounds coming from a tree, the water fountain in the background, people walking in the park, and traffic sounds from the other side of the park.

For this recording, I used my Rode NTG4+ in the Rycote Superblimp! Just that you know this Rode Microphone is a Mono Microphone and some of you ask me for more Stereo Sound so I recorded with the Zoom H6 and the XY Microphone!
