Why is Graham so quiet AND MATT SO LOUD!?! I don't even like Matt!

As for elevation gain, when on summit day of when I climbed Mt. Baker we started at 7000 ft, ascended to the peak of 10,777 ft, and then descended to ~3000 ft. So ~11500 ft gain/loss, or around 3.5 km.

I wasn't paying attention, and was sitting in the mic's dead zone. If you're 90-degrees to the mic it doesn't record you very well.

I noticed it myself and we do try to make it doesn't happen.

If only using both mic's (because we bought a second one, for that reason) at once didn't make the laptop explode

Cold.

ICE cold.

If the laptop explodes with two mics at once, is it possible to use the mics on two different laptops and overlay them after in a sound editor maybe? I don't know if you might run into clock drift problems or end up with some sort of weird reverb or echo or phase cancelling though. I suppose if the work of combining them wasn't too much you could try and then just stick with one of the two mics results if it doesn't work.
In theory I guess you'd want to whack the desk at the start to get a nice sharp impulse to line up since you wouldn't be able to start recording at the exact same time, and then have the mics fairly close together to make sure travel time is close.

Or maybe it would just be easier to run a bit of a compression or normalization filter on a single recording.

I have no experience with this sort of thing, so feel free to disregard all this guesswork as incompetent.

That honestly seems like much more of a pain that just trying to make sure we're sitting in the right place.

I thought you guys had a small sound mixer? Couldn't you use that?

Fair enough.

(Rolled up paper) Megaphones for all!
Sorry, I just have a penchant for needlessly complicated/impractical and/or silly solutions apparently.
