Hi,

I'm trying to record big impact sounds for a fight sequence - punches, body falls, slaps etc. but what I get when I listen to my recordings is nothing like what I heard when recording - either it's overloaded the mic completely and distorted or it sounds weak and too small.

I've got a good room, a good mic (Schoeps ccm 41) and good recorder (Sound Devices) so where am I going wrong?

Subsequent treatment of the files doesn't do much either (at least with ProTools EQ/Comp)

Suspect that my mic technique is wrong - anyone any ideas?
