Hola Compadres, I'm out here in Tikal, Guatemala, enjoying the big noisy birds and rich soundscapes. Not much has seemed to have changed from the '80's when I...
David, try to warm up the MKH20 in some way. In Africa, I set the mic a foot or so above a kerosene lamp with a medium flame. On top of the lamp, I put a small...
One of the most profound sound experiences of my life was in Tikal. I think it was around 1996. I was traveling around with my belongings, including basic...
Very tempted to get an M10 but planning on using it mostly outdoors & looking to protect from wind. Sony's model seems exorbitantly pricey for a tiny piece of...
I didn't see a reply about the Rode Dead Kitten for the M10 either - is this the model (below)? Does it really fit and work really well? Seems very large... ...
I'm new to nature recording but plan to use sounds from the outdoors to use in music productions. I want a great quality setup but looking to spend less than...
I'll elaborate a little. I haven't tried any other cover, but I was surprised how well it works. Others may work better, but I'm happy with this one. It fits...
I use the pre-record buffer on my PCM-M10 a lot. It saves having to listen to lots of unwanted material later. There are other ways, like pressing the track...
Thanks for your reply. Nice recording, but that certainly is a lot of hiss! :( One comment was "much of the noise sounds to me like wind in the treetops,...
I really can't remember if it was windy of not, so if it was it must have been light. (For some reason, I have notes for every day but that one - I think the...
I just read the comment by Arytopia suggesting the hiss is "air passing over the tree". I assume this means the tree the recorder was clamped to, and that's...
This is one of my older recordings of an unseen BROWN-CRESTED FLYCATCHER (MYIARCHUS TYRANNULUS) recorded near the confluence of Granite Creek and Verde...
Does anyone have experience with or an opinion of the Mitra Corp 3D Mic Pro. I wonder if it is something unique or just another stereo mic. I have seen some...
Hi all, this is my first message here. Im looking at the various sass DIY designs but I'm not shure if I got it right... The mid baffle is made of foam. What...
Erik, I have heard some truly lovely stereo recordings made with a DIY SASS that had a solid baffle, the whole unit was made out of balsa wood. The maker had...
The whole thing smells to me like salesmanship and snake oil. I'd keep well clear. 1) Spelling (pshpelling?) errors - 'pshychoaccoustics' 2) Presenting the...
I was really wondering about the open cell accoustical foam. Of course I can buy it from those who sell foam absorbers but they are quite expensive and I have...
The open cell foam is sometimes known as high density foam, used for upholstery, usually dark grey in colour. There are specialist warehouses that sell...
Original Message from: "doctorobotnik" ... I originally looked up this mic and dismissed it immediately. I've had a second look and it's worse than I thought....
Before I just gorilla glue the joint into a single position on my Rode SM4 out of frustration - anybody else found a good way to tighten thing? It's simply way...
http://soundcloud.com/rosshale/high-tide-at-the-pebble-ridge This is a recording I made recently with a Sony M10 and a Rob D style PBBA using 2x em172 capsules...
Ross, this is a great recording!! Makes me want to be there! The PBBA with EM172s inspires me to make one myself. Thanks Volker ... [Non-text portions of this...
Thanks Volker. And as for the PBBA, go for it, it's not difficult to make and the results are wonderful ! Ross To: naturerecordists@yahoogroups.com From:...
Hello friends. Some time passed without put recordings on the page. in www.birdsounds.ronjaleader.net Link recent; you can listeng two scenes. One recorded in...
Thanks Klas. This is one of the most compelling responses I've read in all the archives. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're saying a few dB of difference is...
Since writing this I have done more research and added a few new candidates to consider. I discovered the new Olympus LS-7 and LS-100 (I also found the LS-5...
