sorry. kind of a colloquial teaser ;) - i should have been more subtle
since that "Foul lang" thread.  /nothing personal/  (the 14'56" Brecker
version)

i did not joined that thread, so writing my comment here i was laughing!
could have dug up "Omnidirectional" ;)

cheers,

thx robin, i was even lookin at wikipedia, but not patient enough.

i just scrolled and looked at the images there; I didn't actually read
it :)
looks like a nice article.
but as i realized that you are involved here, i was thinking at is much
easier to ask for a translation.

omnidirectional sound good!

to resume the original subject: search the web for field-recording
equipment and microphone characteristics. - Many movie and TV
productions do have information about outdoor-recording setups!

it also highly depends on the application:
 if you want to "aim" at a bird or if you want to capture the whole
surroundings.

0Hz does not always make sense. adding a low cut increases the
dynamic-range, but then again it all depends on the speakers used for
listening to the end-product: cinema-PA, car-stereo, audio-books,.. ?

i would think on this at mastering level, but generally it should sound good everywhere?

the low-budget solution is to buy one of those battery powered old
MiniDisc-condenser mics.
thats true, there is a sony-ecm... electret series, you can get as stereo mic. i did some experiments with it - you should not compare to neumann/shoeps condenser, but it works too, if the recordings are for own collection and not for making a vinyl (or cd) release of it.

For the "santa cruz mountain" experience, i suggest you rent some
pro-equipment for a week-end. you might even get some mic&preamps cheap
if you rent 'em off-hours, but I might be too optimistic there.

if possible go extreme: take a omidirectional micro and one of those
shot-guns - sounds to remember. consider sharing:

remember LAC: http://trinityaudiogroup.com/
