Hello! first i’d like to say that this post is amazing!.
I had the opportunity to go to an airshow and record some airplanes and Jets as well. Recording the airplanes was way easier than recording jets, because they are REALLY loud. I was using a 722 Sound Device portable recorder, with a Low Gain Range, but even though i was using the Low gain range the recorder was still showing distortion on the inputs. But anyways, I would like to ask for some advice to edit this sounds, maybe some tips for using EQ on them?

I stand corrected on the mouth thing. Thank you Charles, your are the master with Military stuff, thank you.

Also, these recordings are by no means complete coverage of any given aircraft. They are from the archives of my adventures wandering around a recorded long time ago. Relax, dude.

It’s indeed mouth open. Because there’s pressure on the eardrums indeed..so that pressure needs to “escape” true your mouth.

Also…kill the guy who’s shouting “heeey duuuuuuuuude, what are you doooooooingggggggg ???”

And also record some “detail” stuff like door closing, starting up, shut down, full power of engine.

actually, having your mouth closed can cause your eardrums to be damaged due to the pressure in your lungs bursting your eardrums. – the military always recommends having your mouth open especially around things like artilliery and explosions. loud aircraft would also fall into that realm…..

“Wear hearing protection and keep your mouth closed as the jet passes by. Even if you’re wearing earplugs, you can get hearing damage from sound entering your mouth and going to your ear through your nasal cavity.”

Wow! This I did not know. Thanks for the tip!
