Zoom F3 and Korg CM-300 First Use

[@detritic]

I watched one contact mic video and now youtube is convinced I'm a sound engineer. It's been a fun change of pace since I have never had any interest in this topic at all, but now of course I want to buy a contact mic and wander around banging on things in public

informative, enjoyed the presentation, footsteps sounded great too, keep going.

I've just ordered a pair of Korg CM-300s and wanted to see / hear what other folks had done with their experimentation. I really enjoyed your presentation style and I'll certainly be watching more.👍

I use my Korg to mix into matching stereo recordings to give a nice bottom end.

This is the greatest ASMR video ever

[@davidh1187]

The metal drainpipe you walked by at 8:13 would have produced some interesting metal sounds and echo. Shame you missed it.

very nice video

[@Fifteen_Fifty]

does the zoom f3 have preamps to boost the contact mic signal? do all field recorders have this? (such as tascam H1n)?

[@KongThaoSound]

@@Fifteen_Fifty Yes you can adjust the preamp levels on the F3.

[@Ktmoney123]

Cool video, what do you use these sounds for?

[@KongThaoSound]

I actually don't use them for anything. It's more for when I feel like I need a contact mic for certain situations, I"ll have it handy and basically testing it out.

[@AntonyNorthcutt]

What XLR adapter is that?

[@KongThaoSound]

That's Hosa's adapter

[@DehinorVargas]

My question is, putting audio edition aside, when you record these sounds they clipped?

[@DreamNoiseFM]

Unless there is a limitation in the mic itself, clipping 32-bit float recordings is nearly impossible. The dynamic range is astronomical!
