Field Recording

[2manynoobs]

I'm interested in buying equipment, altho, I'm not going to spend a fortune but I sure do want stereo quality!

So if anyone knows a bit of this art, please help me with my quest of finding the perfect price/quality stereo field recording setup.


Oh and if anyone has some home recorded stuff or maybe tracks based on you own recorded shit, please spray them here. I'm very interested!


thanks in advance!

I don't really know much about it.. But I want to get a mic soon.
From seeing my dads studio flat I say get a good mixer, flat response speakers, an alright microphone and foam wallpaper.

..Oh and a bunch of wacky instruments

the m-audio microtrack is decent, bought it new for around 200. you can get some really interesting sounds from it. sit in a subway station and hit record.

I've used these before.

They're actually surprisingly good.

field recording is a hobby of mine. i use a laptop, soundcard and mics. its less portable than a pocket recorder but the quality is way better and i can use the gear for other things as well.

here's a blog post about a trip in the jungle where i took some recordings. you can listen to the sounds of Bokeo national park in Laos.

depending on what gear you have already, the laptop is a nice portable set up that delivers pro results. also good for playing live on stage!

binaural mics are the one, got mine for about £35 from here years back but i'm not sure they sell the same model any more, can't find them. try taping a bus/train journey then listening back later in the dark, feels like you're actually moving, really weird. i'd advise you to buy a pair calibrated for high sensitivity unless yer going to be recording very loud stuff
