FIELD RECORDING WITH SONY PCM D100 IN TAIWAN!

[@jhoneyands]

It's super interesting to see how you make your sound libraries - I trained as an audio engineer years ago and I'm just getting back into sound as a way to get out and explore. Loving the inspiration and energy you bring - please do keep making these videos for us!

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Thank you so much for watching and your positive comment! Last night we finished our next video. Zoom H1 Essential in Hong Kong. It's been a while since our last video but it's coming. :)

amazing as always, love that you always give reasons for some of the things that are going on in that location, like making you wear a vest or the constant beeping noises -- and showing locals being kind --- just fantastic, and very human! you two are fantastic!

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Thank you Michael!! Not to mention the teddy bears :). Taiwan is just another level when it comes to cuteness and kind people. We hope you have the chance to visit!

[@lurchingtowardsoblivion]

I enjoyed Libby's videography as much as Marcel's sound recordings. Taiwan and its people seem great. Thank you!

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Thank you so much for watching!!!

[@bobcat6653]

If I could live your mundane yet exciting life, I too would have a tough time making youtube content, but I LOVE it when you do, Thanks so much!!

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Ahhh! Thank you :)))

[@AmadoWildlifeVideos]

You inspired me to get a stereo mic and record ambient sounds in northern Greece, the birdlife was amazing. I had a classic moment when I thought the Left and Right channels were mixed up so switched the cables and then back again --- then I found I was wearing the headphones the wrong way round! 🤣

[@JaredHoyman]

I sent this to my Brother in law who lives in Taiwan. Its nice to see the everyday life there. Thank you!

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Thank you Jared!

I absolutely love this type of videos (vlogging + travelling + sound recording) because its so motivating. 30.000 Steps a day keep the doctor away 😀and its also good for the mood. Viele Grüße, Til

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Glad to hear that Til!! :)

[@Amit_Kattal]

I been a long fan of your channel. You inspired me to buy a zoom h1n myself😅. Now i live in taiwan and record various sounds here as well. Love to see you coming here and enjoying your time. Hope you will be back again here and capture more amazing sounds ✌️

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Oh wow you live in Taiwan?? Amazing. Have a great time! We're going back too. Probably by the end of the year.

[@Amit_Kattal]

@@FreeToUseSounds Great. Festival time here is unique during the end of the year.

[@graychen2997]

Welcome to Taiwan! I hope you have a wonderful journey here. I've been following your KZbin channel for quite some time now and have learned a lot from it. It has been very inspiring for me. I really enjoy watching your entire process of work and travel. I also hope to enjoy each place like you do. Thank you very much for your channel. You are also welcome to visit Taiwan again in the fall!😀

[@FreeToUseSounds]

We had a wonderful time! Thank you for asking and we see you in the fall! :)

[@barbe_generative_diary]

Thank you for the sound recording and wonderful video shoot in Taiwan. I’m always learning field recording from your sound spirit:)

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Thank you!!!

[@Metamerist625]

I was a big fan of the sounds you guys captured around the dcks, I enjoyed the creaking and the motors running. I think it would be really great if you and Libby took a boat trip and recorded the sounds from on the boat itself. You could do a ferry crossing, or maybe if you ask nicely you could get out on a fishing boat. I love what you produce and look forward to whatever comes next

[@tevvyboy2002]

Beautiful video color ,I very like

[@christiannikodemus]

So good! Really relaxing, safe travels, and happy Valentines!

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Thank you Christian! Happy Valentines to you too!

[@panagope]

Excellent package ! OK I have opened it with a different Zip program (windows zip doesnt work) .

[@loganandtim]

Love your channel! I especially enjoy the vibey videos like this one - not really about gear but about sound and experiencing a place. So many people take photos, but remembering the sounds of the place fascinates me. The sound on my videos are probably horrific by your standards, but I do my best to think of sound as a major consideration in each vlog I do. My husband Logan and I are in Taipei at the moment and are loving it. Wishing you well, If you ever find yourself in NZ do reach out. :-)

[@dalemettee1147]

Most people don't know that there is a lot of sound out there. They don't realize that a recorder picks up EVERYTHING!

[@emersonsea22]

Great tips. I loved the video, Marcel and Libby

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Thank you!!

[@imrin4059]

whart zoom does i need if i wanna reocord engine sound with seperate good sound and lav mic for talking in mic. i wanna position other mic close to exhaust to record good sound with 32 bit flow. F3 with some good xlr mic and lav mic with adavter cus it does 2 track right? or should i just go with h1e or H4e with same set up as F3? what is more perfromace/price good deal?

[@e_abstraction]

ive always wanted to go to Taiwan. I don't mind that you guys don't post every day. Id much rather good content and good sound recordings that take time. plus I always get your Bandcamp notifications.

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Ah so nice to hear that you're reading it! Thank you so much for your support!

[@gregorv4951]

great video. New prespective also in town you can record sounds without cars...keep going

[@iamleek]

Lucky you visited earlier.

[@FreeToUseSounds]

😢😢 Oh yes. We also went to Hualien. Our friends live there nut luckily they are okay.

[@rolandpyle8914]

Thank you for sharing your day.

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Thank you for coming along!!

[@alberteye]

you are so incredable creative couple!

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Thank you so much Albert!

[@mlamberg]

Great great great!! Did you get to hang out with the legend Yannick Dauby by any chance?

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Oh no we didn't.

[@Pe11ePD]

Am I dreaming or D100 doesn't have any preamp noise whatsoever? I'm really trying to hear any type of hissing without luck. I can hear that the internal mics gain was pretty high on all recordings.

[@jakobthiesen]

Hi Marcel, Libby, are you concerned or have an opinion about your sound recordings being scraped off the internet by the new AI companies for training data sets? Your work would be a prime target for this I would think. Perhaps you thought of this already.

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Hello Jakob! Apologies for the delayed response. This is definitely something that can and will happen. However, credible companies interested in our sound recordings, and looking to use them to train their programs, would reach out because they adhere to license agreements. In fact, several companies already have, but even with significant budgets, they were not willing to pay the price we set for our bundle. Its fair to say we were among the first to set up a license agreement that prohibits the use of our sound recordings as a dataset for AI or machine learning. However, we can't prevent an individual from purchasing our bundle on Gumroad and creating something like text-to-speech software using our sounds, even if they're not permitted to do so.

[@StarskyHomer]

Libby, are you taking pictures for stock footage sales as well as shooting these videos? I was always wondering about that...

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Hi! Oh no we don't that.

[@StarskyHomer]

Is there a reason why? You are great at what you do! By selling images and video there could come a lot more apprecitation your way :) @@FreeToUseSounds

[@FreeToUseSounds]

​@@StarskyHomer Absolutely, there is indeed a reason why we choose not to go down that path. We believe we've struck a nice balance as it is, and we prefer not to tip the scales by venturing into areas that might bring unnecessary stress. It's all about maintaining harmony in what we do.

[@jasonnicholas4336]

Don’t get caught up in the drive to provide KZbin ‘content’; as you said, your viewers are a really specific subset of people who are quite willing to just wait until you have something of interest to put out there.

[@FreeToUseSounds]

Oh yes we won't feed into the machine of creating content for contents sake. We see you in the next one :)
