Any processing used or are these straight from the recorder?

 DIY Dead Cat

A thunderstorm rolled in as I got home so I quickly put a bag over my SASS as well as my custom dead cat. Recorder also in a plastic bag inside of a neoprene bag. I didn't have time to mess with levels in fear I'd miss the thunder. I'll be paying closer attention to weather patterns this summer.

I compared a stereo pair of MKH 8020s mounted in a DIY foam SASS, with a pair of Audio Technica AT 4022s mounted in a Crown SASS.  These are consecutive recordings (rather than simultaneous), it was early dawn on Xmas morning, rigs were set up on my front verandah.  By ear I cannot pick the difference between the two rigs, but a sound spectrograph shows that the 8020s are a little noisier.  Both rigs alternately ran to a Sound Devices 702 recorder, I added 3 db to the 4022s in post, to match the levels.

Two hours from inside a lonely barn out on Preiviiki Fields during a stormy night. Just pick your headphones and relax!

A little about the title:  Its status as a catchphrase for bad writing comes from the opening sentence of English novelist Edward Bulwer-Lytton's 1830 novel Paul Clifford [3] 

"It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents — except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness."
