your enthusiasm is very contagious. Thank you.

[@medstone3409]

This channel is gold. You're amazing, very good and informative videos, very well edited and narrated. Pure quality and passion!

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Thank you so much!! :) Means a lot.

[@jarrahdrum]

I love and respect how you share everything. like a teacher at school,, but better

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Thank you!

[@nobbystyles4807]

the most peaceful ive been this last year was out recording the dawn chorus with my f4 / ntg4+ in some woodland by a reservoir. i need to record more.

[@FreeToUseSounds]

That sounds nice!

[@danielsinagra9840]

Nice to see you have been here to Malta. Unfortunately its really difficult to record here sometimes due to congestion and noise pollution. Cheers!

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Hi Daniel! Oh yes, I remember that but we loved being in Malta. We hope to come back soon. Make sure you check out the industrial port to record some industrial ambiences. I was never closer to such amazing sounds. :)

This was my first time watching such a long lecture. Excellent and thank you.

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Glad it was helpful!

The car boot door with the music @8:04, nice.

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Thank you! :)

[@jaguarvssnake]

So glad I discovered your channel, thank you!

[@jaguarvssnake]

Do you have any videos or advice on resources for mixing/mastering field recordings?

[@SidJ8300]

Just checked your website .. I must say you are doing a tremendous job !! I guess art community is one of those small ones where people still believe in sharing, if at all, some of them !! 😋

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Thank you :)

In the last couple of weeks, I was searching for a decent field recorder (I picked Zoom H5 with XYH-6 capsule). I have to say that I clicked randomly on this video, started watching and, at 2:14, a familiar blue tram popped out. What's interesting, I live just a few hundred meters away from this exact scene location. Greetings from Zagreb, I hope you like it.

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Oh wow! Yes we loved living in Zagreb. Maybe someday we go back. We spent 3 months in Croatia and it was amazing.

[@dynamicfreqz1112]

I'm just starting to get into field recording, and ambient music. I was thinking the other day, while recording birds, that ambient sounds are like an organic modular synth, that's completely unpredictable. It's crazy how different you hear your surroundings, once you start listening for interesting sounds. It gets a bit frustrating at times, due to hearing something cool, but there's sounds that you don't want in the recording. I can also relate to learning discipline while recording. It can get out of hand quickly. I've been getting some awesome sounding birds. Some birds that I've recorded sound as good as a high end synth. I don't know many bird species by their sound, so I'm not sure what kind of birds they are unless I see them. At least one of the species that I've recorded, makes a bunch of different sounds back to back, and it's a really great sound.

[@leonardocalvo]

I love this vídeo, i start recording with my H1, now i am going to My second travel

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Thats awesome!

Nice tips and inspiration! Thanks for sharing!

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Glad to hear that!

[@soundhobo]

Thank you for the insight into how you develop your sound library’s 🙏 Big thumbs up for Libby for the video...a delight to watch 👍

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Thank you for watching and so glad we could share more insights. :)

[@GiancarloBiondi]

Hi Marcel! I really appreciate your professional approach. Especially when you are just starting out, it is easy to get caught up in the plethora of sounds we encounter: but then we have a large amount of sounds to catalog (even for personal use only as I do) and the desire passes away. At the base of a professional approach, for taking photos, videos and recording audio, there is always a preliminary research, planning and scouting: it is excellent for this purpose to bring a light recorder like the Zoom H1n useful for "taking notes" or recording in the case we find a unique and unrepeatable event. Thanks for the advice as always

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Hi Giancarlo. If you're starting out and doing it that way you don't have to reedit and rename all you files in the past. With thee UCS and the categories its just great. I for myself have so much work ahead. :)

[@GiancarloBiondi]

@@FreeToUseSounds Yes Marcel, you are right! Following your advice I have decided to use that system from now on. The backlog is not a lot so I will do it slowly.

[@FreeToUseSounds]

@@GiancarloBiondi Take your time :)

[@iosmusicman]

Really enjoyed this first video of yours (no subbed). I’d like to know the origins of the music. I especially love it around 8’05” when it shifts into a 6/8 groove. Thanks. Cheers. Lee

[@KaneBennettNZ]

Just came across your channel. Awesome videos! Field recording is fairly under represented on youtube, so I hope this channel continues to grow. Not only are the sounds great, but the videos are shot beautifully as well. All the best to you guys :)

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Thank you Kane!

[@Jasmateau]

excellent thank you

[@simranjeetsinghvirdi7705]

Really nice got a rough idea where I need to start with And yes thanks to you now I’m into field recording ✌🏼

[@FreeToUseSounds]

That’s awesome :)

[@user-bu9nb8wr6e]

Thank you for your insight.

[@FreeToUseSounds]

A pleasure!

[@elvinnanodatron6409]

As always, very insightful video, and thanks to share patiently your experience.

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Thank you Elvin!! That means a lot.

[@keinpodcast4053]

Learned a lot again - Danke :)

[@FreeToUseSounds]

That’s great to know :)

[@davidhellegouarch1622]

Really nice video, you make me feel like I'm travelling with you!

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Thank you for the feedback David. We love including the b roll. :)

[@STIXSURVIVAL]

New sub my friend and to the podcasts. I’ve learned so much from you and have now bought an h8 with a view to get my channel back up and running. Keep up the good work.

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Welcome aboard and that is so nice. Yeah we should really do another podcast. People asking already. Great that you got the H8. :)

[@PovertyThor]

Hey Marcel I bought your all in one library due to watching your videos! I've got to ask though, how do you guys afford to not only travel to all these locations but actually have a prior exploratory visit to them when your entire library (including all future updates!) can be had for such an insanely low amount of money? I saw your youtube video where you break down how much you make from this channel and (thank you for doing that btw I love the transparency!) it doesn't seem like it's enough to finance all the trips for two people. Would love to see a total financial streams video from you guys someday if that makes more sense!

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Thank you so much for your support and you’re right. With only YT revenue we would be back home already. It’s because of people like you who support us by purchasing our sound libraries ever single day.

[@rhubbardstockfootage]

I love your videos! keep up the great work!

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Thank you Rich!

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

I love your channel, your videos are so great to watch! I just discovered it whilst looking for reviews about the Zoom F6. Now I'm really interested in learning about recording sounds and maybe making my own sound library.

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Thats awesome Tamara! Lots of videographers and photographers out there but we need more field recordist's in this world. Go for it :)

[@troyax]

Hey! Where can I get this hoodie ? Cool video!

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Hi! We made the hoodie ourselves but don’t sell them anymore.

[@KSVOICE]

Very nice

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Thank you!

Please guide us about binaural audio recording ,

[@erzloh]

Hey thank you for your amazing content!! I bought the Zoom H2n with accessories and I was wondering if I should use the pop filter when field recording or not? Thanks! :D

[@erzloh]

also, should I use the built-in compressor or the limtor or shouldn't use whatsoever? (sorry for all those questions...!) Thanks in advance!!

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Hi, there is no need to use the filter or compressor. :)

[@erzloh]

@@FreeToUseSounds Thank you for your answer!! :D

[@Steveohugs]

Great video and thank you both for all your work in putting them together. I've just bought a Zoom H5 for some field recording and I was wondering about wind protection. I noticed the protection you have on the H8 works well for you . Would love to know where you got it. I think it could really be good for my H5

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Hi Stephen! So glad you like the video. I use the WS01 from Zoom but the Rycote version is much stronger against wind.

[@Steveohugs]

@@FreeToUseSounds Ok that's good to know. Thanks for getting back to me 🙂

[@benreed2166]

I would really love to purchase your sound pack, But I don't have the download speed to download all of them at once. Is there a way I can download single audio clips at a time? Thanks!!

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Hi Ben! Oh no worry you have always access to all recordings and don't need to download all recordings in one go. So take your time :)

[@benreed2166]

@@FreeToUseSounds Is this after purchasing via your website or do I need a band camp account. Thanks! Also do you have a video on recording quiet sounds? I'm just trying to record birds chirping on my zoom h5 but it's way too quiet and too noisy.

[@FreeToUseSounds]

@@benreed2166 Hi Ben, that is for both but Bandcamp is more theme related and you can find the libraries and sounds much faster. I don't have videos of quiet sounds. I don't record stock video footage.

[@sabbathgita5511]

Hi I wanted to ask about how do you get the permission to record certain place such as : Railway Station, Church, and Kind of Factory stuff?

[@FreeToUseSounds]

You find the authorities and ask as long as you are on private property.

[@vibhanshubiswas8729]

how do you avoid footstep sound if you are recording and exploring nearby area.

[@FreeToUseSounds]

I don’t walk around when recording.

[@maksspiga1106]
