This is a bit off topic for this list, but I thought I'd try (all my
recording gear is 96khz/24 bit & Linux based, does that help?)
I am selling my house deep in the santa cruz mountains, and I think
the things I'm going to miss most is the birdsong and other sounds of
the wilderness around me. So, I keep thinking, I should pick up a good
mic soon (stereo mic, or matched pair) - either buy, borrow, or rent
for a few days - and record it all, so I can recreate the ambiance and
memories of this place one day in the future.
Recordings done outside over the years with my available mics - SM-57,
SM-58, an AT tube mic, etc - have all generally been kind of hissy and
not up to the quality of other environmental recordings I've heard.
Maybe that's also a factor of the pre-amps I've used, or inadaquate
screening for wind.
I have daydreams about somehow making this into a high-resolution
surround sound mix, or doing an enormous recording (from dawn til
dusk, from dusk til dawn)
But I'm WAAAY out of my depth here as to how to get the best recording
of the outdoors.
hello neighbor,
Did you try PZMs? Could be great for your particular situation.
