Recording an Explosion

[Tony Scharf]

Really great answers in this thread: http://sound.stackexchange.com/questions/15261/how-do-you-record-loud-sounds
I'd want to have a multitrack going with a number of different mikes to capture the full spectrum, and then use digital editing to comp together a nice 'boom'.
