Dunfermline, Tower Burn Soundscape.
มุมมอง 153ปีที่แล้ว
I captured this soundscape next to Dunfermline Abbey at the Tower Burn in Pittencrieff Park. I was surprised that I got nearly 15 minutes uninterrupted on this path at 9am in the morning. Field recordings made with my Clippy EM 272's and the Zoom F8n.

Korg CM-300. Inspiring contact mic.
มุมมอง 7Kปีที่แล้ว
I used the Korg CM-300 contact mic to capture the sound of a HDD and a Dymo LetraTag and really enjoyed the sounds I captured. Whilst editing the files I was imagining visuals to go with them, so today I tried my best to get something to fit the sound. If you have any questions please feel free to ask below. Enjoy!

Waiting for the Sun
มุมมอง 98ปีที่แล้ว
On my journey to where I planned to record, I passed Knockhill before sunrise. The clouds felt close enough to touch, so I had to stop and set up the camera to try and capture the Sunrise. For a while I thought it would be clouded out but there was always a slim sliver of light breaking through on the horizon. As quick as it took to clear the trees, it was hidden again by the clouds. The footag...
Field Recording takes/tests patience.
มุมมอง 210ปีที่แล้ว
I'm fast learning that not every field recording trip works out for calming nature soundscapes. I still enjoyed it and the loud car exhausts in the distance made me want to plan in another visit Knockhill. I think that would test the limiters on the F8n. Thankfully I still got enough interesting sounds which I'm happy to share with you. Field recordings made with my Clippy EM 272's and the Zoom...
Field Recording mic comparison.
มุมมอง 1.4Kปีที่แล้ว
I recently visited Rumbling Bridge a small village not far from where I live. Whilst I was there I decided to do a mic comparison between my camera's in built mic, 12 year old Zoom H1 and my normal kit of Zoom F8n with a stereo pair of XLR Clippy EM272 microphones.

Glen Sherup Woodlands, field recording with the Clippy EM 272.
มุมมอง 1.4Kปีที่แล้ว
I made another visit to Glen Sherup Woodlands to capture the soundscape, and was surprised by the noise from the near by wind turbines. On my last visit they weren't active but I could hear them clearly this time as they harvested the winds power. The pre-dawn start was well worth it to enjoy the peaceful ambient sounds, I hope you find it worthwhile too. If you want any more information about ...
Field Recording at the Sma' Glen.
มุมมอง 85ปีที่แล้ว
I set off early to head up to Loch Freuchie as I hadn't been that way for a few years and I wanted to stop at the Sma' Glen on the way back. The Sma' Glen is one of my favourite spot's in Scotland, the River Almond runs through the narrow valley and when it is a clear day it is amazing to have the hills climbing up so steeply next to you. I plan to head back as I know I can get better audio and...
Field Recording and Background Noise
มุมมอง 173ปีที่แล้ว
Getting out and capturing more audio has been great and I'm still amazed by how much more you hear when monitoring your audio. It was a huge surprise to realise how much our brain filters out sounds it doesn't think are important. When you put your headphones on and listen there is always something you'll hear that you were unaware of only moments before. The background sounds that I don't enjo...
Mini Windjammer Vs Rode Blimp MkII for Field Recording.

Field recordings made with my Clippy EM 272's and the Zoom F8n, using the Rode Blimp MkII & Mini Windjammers by Rycote. Subscribe for more content like this! th-cam.com/channels/HvJ4fNr6oJHyZ85t7PpjaA.html I was testing it see if there was much difference between my small windjammers and mounting the mics inside my Rode Blimp Mkii.

I read that this microphone expects a very high impedance of the amplifier (around 1 MΩ), and most recorders have much lower impedance (thousands KΩ). How does it work with things like Zoom H1n and a mobile phone audio jack?
Korg CM-300
Beautiful
Nice! Thank you! Did you manage to mount the Clippys in the Rode blimp as you mentioned in the discription?
Great recording and video! I think your recordings are among the most beautiful to be found on youtube. I thought about buying a Audio Technica bp4025 , but I keep coming back for the lovely detail and fantastic stereo image of the Clippys in your recordings. So I might purchase a matched pair with a Rode mount. Thank you!
Great! Thank you !
Thank you!
Great! Thank you!
Can i ask which mini windjammers you use please ? There are so many
Would I need a stereo pair to do some ambient field recording or could just one do the job?
These sound great, and I've just got myself a pair. Just wondering, did you pan the seperate recordings in post?
What is the name of those sliver clippy's holders ?
"B" - very pleasant to hear. Well, I liked both...
Hello, have you tried the WINDBUBBLES? They must be much better than rode
Thank you for sharing, and explaining. Did you process much after?
Love the birds, very nice filed recording, thanks !
What mounts are you using to attach the lav mics?
와 ㅋㅋㅋ 들으면서 도로 걸어가고있었는데 맷비둘기소리 10m 앞에있는줄알고 뭐 이리 울음소리가 큰가 했는데 영상에서 나오는거였네. 음질 미쳤다
Jesus christ they sound good! th-cam.com/video/tTd-eUz64BE/w-d-xo.html this is me recording in Edinburgh another night for your listening pleasure (or shock haha)
Nice video. I have been recording but wind has messed up some of my recordings with those mics. What type of windshield did you use? Thanks
Very well recorded and spaced. How far back were the pipers in relation to the kettle and bass drums of the band? they are clear but thy sound as though they are perhaps set a little further back. Regards: Melissa.
Good comparison of mikes and nice video. I like the Clippy 272, very nice stereo and detail. I've just started with field recording so this was very interesting. Thanks for taking us along!
Thanks for watching!
Hi excellent thanks for sharing Best Regards Tim
Glad you enjoyed it
This was great. Had it on with my headphones in whilst eating dinner. Had to keep swatting the bugs away that i thought were flying around my head 🤣🤣🤣 very immersive
😂Thanks for that, made me chuckle😂👍
Great comparison Andy!The stronger the wind, the more volume or space around the microphone capsule is required. In most situations I end up using the Rode Blimp MkII with or without the deadcat. The EM clippy 272 are great omni mics. I really enjoy recording with them. Thanks for sharing, wish you all the best for 2023 my friend✌
Thank you very much, I hope you have a great 2023 as well🌞
Thank you for this. My issue is how to clip them so that they don't move around. What type of clips are you using and doesn't the wind protection get in the way?
Sorry for the late reply, here is the clips that I use micbooster.com/diy-maker/224-rycote-lyres.html micbooster.com/clippy-and-pluggy-microphones/253-clippy-lyre-stand-mount.html 👍
Be safe my friend
Thank you very much, same to you✌️
Great video Andy, I am thinking of getting either the zoom f8n pro or the f6. I mostly shoot landscape video on farms and the roadside. I am looking for a audio kit to go with my Canon XF 605 camcorder. I have been using the H1N for awhile and I only want to buy 1 one more recorder. How did you decide on the F8n Pro or did you consider the F6 as well? Mike
Hi Mike, I own the F8n which is the older model to the F8n pro. It only captures 24 bit files where as both the F6 and F8n pro can also capture 32 bit files which can saving a lot of worry around clipping your audio levels and setting your gain level correctly. The F8n pro does cost a fair bit more than the F6 and i feel the biggest difference you get is the handling/interface. Curtis Judd has great reviews of both recorders but i would point you towards the F8n pro if you want a great unit that could be your one time purchase. F8n pro th-cam.com/video/8MfCY6d3ujk/w-d-xo.html F6 th-cam.com/video/byMZkEvYRKw/w-d-xo.html Hope you find them worthwhile, I ended up with my F8n as it was too good a deal to ignore. I was looking on Gumtree for microphones and someone was selling their mint condition Sennheiser MKE600 and F8n. I felt the F8n was a bit overkill but like you was happy that it could be all i ever need, and i got the pair for the price of an F6. Thanks for your question👍
Do you think pointing 2 omnis (EM272 Pluggy) away from one another, inside of a blimp, be enough to capture good ambient sound? I'm gonna try that soon and see what happens. 1:02 Wow! That's a beautiful tree!
I think so yes, it can be better to get them further apart to capture i broader stereo field, but that is not always practical. I would love to hear how you get on with your tests👍
@@AndyGregor Thanks for the reply Andy. I'll post as soon as I learn how to sync my results with Adobe Premiere Pro 2020. Also, I might have to avoid the next few days because of rain.
Great recording my friend.Well done!The Clippy EM 272's did a great job.Thank's for sharing.Have a nice weekend.Wish you all the best✌
Thank you very much, I hope you are doing great too👍
Thank you for the video... I never get tired of hearing the church bells.... 😅
Thank you, they do sound great👍
Very good recording quality! I'm starting to build my audio recording rig. I've been reading about the Clippy microphones and will definitely be ordering them. Is Zoom F3 enough to start with stereo recordings? Kind regards! P.S. A well-kept lawn :)
Thank you, I've never tried the Zoom F3 but from everything I have seen on TH-cam it seems a great recorder. It would do stereo recordings no problem, it does only have XLR inputs though, so any 3.5mm jack microphones would need an adaptor to work with the unit. Good luck with whatever you choose I'm sure you will enjoy it. 👍
Thank you for the information. I will buy F3 with Clippy em272 XLR for starters.
Beautiful music. Nice playing.
Glad you like it!
You might find Gordon Hempton’s work very interesting: th-cam.com/video/jAgCeyW8iTA/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for that Tom , that was a great watch. Much appreciated👍
The EM272's are so versatile and perfect for field recording, especially when you need to pack light. Love your setup and jealous of your backyard recording location. New subscriber and looking forward to coming back for more! Thanks.
Thank you very much, I do really enjoy using this set up👍
Thank you very much for the microphone test :) Greetings from Warsaw!
Your welcome, thanks for the comment:-)
Beautiful recording. Exactly what Rycote windjammer are you using here?
Hi Tom, micbooster.com/microphone-windshields/222-rycote-windjammer-for-clippy-microphone.html Here is a link to the ones I got, they are meant to be used with the foams as well.
@@AndyGregor Many thanks Andy. Being in the USA I hope they ship here.
@@TomKaszuba It looks like they do, be careful though every time I browse the website I see something else I want👍
@@AndyGregor Same.
I was just looking at the micbooster website at the clippys. I now see that they sell Rycote baseballs and I Rycote furry to go over the small baseball providing even better wind protection. By the way….clippys are sold out at the moment.
Awesome!
Thank you, very kind👍
nice work man!
Thank you! Much appreciated 👍
I bought CM-300 last week and am very happy about it. I've tried this one on everything possible in my apartment :). For the money it costs, it's really worth it. Thanks for the video!
Brilliant, it is a really handy mic to have. I enjoy how it makes me think about sounds around us differently. Thanks for the comment👍
Hi thanks for taking us with you on this beautiful sound journey. Great sound quality🎧 my friend!!!Thanks for sharing,wish you all the best✌
Thanks for listening, and the kind words✌️
Hi Andy.Thank's for introducing us this microphone.I have no experience with this type of microphones.Very interesting!!Thanks for sharing✌
It's such a handy microphone to have, and for the cost it's a bargain. 👍
Love this atmospheric video Andy!Well done my friend.Thanks for sharing✌
Thank you, it was a great sunrise, I appreciate your comment😁
Is it ORTF or AB ?
It was a spaced omni-directional pair, the spacing was ORTF distance.👍
Sods law. It does sound like diesel generator rumble or fishing boat/trawler maybe? 🙄 All the best. 👍🙂 Kind regards, BG
I couldn't see any but I didn't have a clear view along the coast, did sound diesel though. Thanks for the comment.👍
Hi Andy, It is usually a bit of a conspiracy when ot comes to the sound recording. If it's not a helicopter, it's a high flyin' distant jet adding that ever so subtle but invasive sound in the background (of my own videos) when you're Out & About at the crack of dawn... 🙄 Another nice video Andy. 👍🙂 Kind regards, BG
Always seems to be something, never used to notice it much until I started trying to get decent audio for my videos. Thankfully it's just more learning and finding a way to work around it. 👍
@@AndyGregor All part of the fun in making videos. 👍😉 🤔 Admittedly, it can be damn frustrating sometimes, but it is worth it in the end. 👍😎
Hi Andy, You're a nice find on the ould interweb as they say. 👍🙂 So many good channels like yours buried away by the algorithm. 🙄 All Subscribed up and I look forward to videos. 👍👍 Kind regards, Brendan
Cheers Brendan, glad you found me and thanks for the sub. 😁
@@AndyGregor 👍😎
Very well done, I thouroughly enjoyed this!
Thank you Phil, I really appreciate that.
The most expensive component of this is the imagination needed to spark creativity. It looks like you have invested wisely in that area :)
Thank you very much 😁
Awesome recording of the wind! I find it a difficult subject to get good recordings of. Beautiful video as well!
Thank you very much! I just wanted it capture the wind so it clipped a bit to show the strength, but not to much to destroy the listening.
