A beginner's guide to field recording. Part 2.

[@haraldspies2546]

I'm getting more into field recording. So I'm very happy to learn from you.Oliver! Thanks!

[@voyagerone688]

Excellent, quiet, serious and useful in breaking down the basics for beginners like myself (having already spent money of microphones that were completely wrong for what I wanted to record). Watching parts 2 and 3 later. Thank you so much Oliver for making these great 'starter' videos. You're so right about just having your recorder with you and when I bought a second hand Zoom H1n, I now carry is with me all the time because it's so small, whip it out and just record all sorts now, even around the supermarket in my trolley! You've given lots of inspiration to really understand techniques and equipment without making expensive mistakes! Thanks, take care, Tony 🙂

It would be helpful to have a link to Part 1 in your description below. A very minor point, not a criticism. I am off to find part 1.

Good stuff. I wish you could have put some links for the different mics.

[@kevinpaulcahay]

Really nice introduction, cheers ✌️

[@olpayne]

Thanks for watching!

Hnnng R-05 so nice. Wish they kept making it. I had to get the R-07 and I like it but it’s just no comparison.

Hi! It's really helpful info that i'm looking for. Where can I buy the Parabolic dish (the same as you've got)? Thanks for sharing !

[@olpayne]

Hi! Great, thank you. The reflector was from here: parabolicmicrophone.co.uk/collections/all - I think it's a one-man operation but great value and decent quality.

What if you hook up a contact mic up to a wind filter? Will it pick up only the wind (and thus be better for wind instruments)?

@@olpayne Thank you

Nice overview! But I would highly advise against using audio cassettes for serious recording. You lose the entire upper frequency range and a little bit on the lower end too. The signal to noise ratio is also not great. Every cheap Zoom or Tascam recorder will get you better audio.

[@olpayne]

Absolutely! I was trying to suggest that if all you have is a cassette recorder then by all means use it. I love the sound of tape but it's not a whole lot of use in the field :)
