วีดีโอ

Thank you. I hope to one day get as knowledgeable as you. My memory is like a sieve, I have to actively do something every day to not forget it

interesting

This kid rocks

i reccomend you to change the name of the video for asmr audio ambience .

Found this by accident and it was very interesting. I like this video and hope to see more soon!

Really interesting, thanks for sharing!! I'm studying at university and I used both ZoomF6 and H4nPro, and I love them both. But to start with the experience of field recording myself I've just bought the h4, as you said, the experience of going out and listen to the world is a very important part of the process :) Keep it up!!

thank you!

Honored to be with ya. Mahalo!

such a helpful video, 60fps video is a tad off-putting though!

…thank you for this very interesting video :)

I m into music , talking , nature recordings and i just ordered tascam x8 Which mic is best for talking and music smooth , please mention mid range one , tascam x8 and shipping already bankrupted me 😂, Looking for reply

I appreciate the sound recording and your advice on starting simply! I'd like to know how far away sounds could be recorded with the omnidirectional mics with low latency mics and what mics are good for quiet night atmospheric ambient sounds how costly they are? What device you used in this demo to control sounds? Is it possible to capture enhanced transportation sounds sitting on the same place with nearby sounds immersing in louder sounds like while the transports are going away from near to far?

My first field recording setup used to be a cheapo Stereo Cassette recorder with Microphone Input. Then i jumped to a portable reel to reel for better audioquality due to the faster tape speed. Then i switched to a better cassette recorder that was higher quality and that was pretty good. Then i obtained a second hand MiniDisc walkman from 1999 and a little stereo mic (a Thomann t.Bone ST40) and i made the best freaking field redordings with that simple rig. it was small, lightweight and i had a sound that was insanely good. Even if it wasn't lossless, the DAC of the little Sony Minidisc walkman sounded incredible.And the whole rig didn't cost me more than 50 maybe 60 bucks (including the blank MDs). The only downside was i had to record all my recordings to my PC again through the Soundcard, because i had no way to dump the ATRAC audio digitally from my MD. But i was still very happy with the results i got from it. After that i went with a Zoom H2 (the original silver "electric shaver" model) but hated its super noisy Mic Input. So i only used the internal mics which i still loved because it let me chose the Stereo width and of course i did a few 4.0 Recordings as well. Something you cannot do with the majority of digital compact audio recorders, except the Zoom H2n.

I don't like the boominess of voice through a shotgun mic. I much prefer the voice as it was picked up by the omnis and cardiods. The tradeoff is, of course, those mics don't reject background sound. But the boominess seems to be a property of the phase cancelling properties of shotguns. I guess there's no getting around a silent studio room.

I appreciate what you have created. I have 3d printed heaps of custom mounts and similar way to make good recording more cheaply, including 180mm diameter blimp. Love my F3. Good job.

Love your relaxed style to presenting. Just starting out and would love to record rain. Any budget friendly setup suggestions please?

Generous and thoughtful sharing of knowledge, without trying to sell a product. TH-cam at its best. You rock Alex!

What are the mics? Behringer C-2? How satisfied are you with those?

As a hobby folly-ist, this is really interesting (and possibly the next step); my question to you is: what do you do with these recordings? Just enjoy them yourself?

Alex, I’m a Vermont-based sound recordist; I write books about field recording and teach workshops, and I want to complement you on your program. Very well done, nice delivery, and let me also say that the last thing you said in this first video is important and compelling: that field recording is a great way to get out and experience the world around us. Nice work, sir. Keep them coming.

Hey Alex, where is your next video or sound? Please go on...

great informative video. very helpful and well formated. :)

Thank you for putting this together! I'm trying to find just the right mic's for whale recording for an Alaska trip and thunderstorm/weather/nature recording for home (Phoenix). This was super helpful and put together in such a human relatable/personable format! Appreciate your efforts!

What kind of headphones did you use in this video?

Thank you for sharing your experties. I got really inspired about high quality fieldrecording from your demonstration. I will absolute some day get an Zoom recorder for the two stereo channel capturing. I am more of an photo/film camera guy, I have an Röde shootgun external mic for my dslr camera, but I have noticed lately that sound-design is great impact and have heavy importans for the whole experience despite in production of videogame, movies or listening to an audio ebook. Thank you!❤🙏😁 Keep up the great work. You are so talented and genuine.

Nice video. It's really clear you have a passion for this craft.

This dope

What model are the Omni

Sick apache case!

Useful video, thanks!

Great first video! Thanks for sharing. I would be interested in content covering picking a decent set of headphones.

Really nice video! Subscribed!

Thank you for this video! Like it 🙂

Very understandable. Like it. As well as all others: nice video pciture and descent speaking. Thank you! 🙂

That's really cool. I'm not into this sort of audio, I like music recording and bird recording, but the way you explain the different kinds of mics with the examples is great! Also that is the perfect asmr rig tbh

Thank you! Go on with it, please.

Thanks for sharing info of your stuff, i've got a similar set up, zoom f3 + rode m5, i'm new on field recording and still trying to develope a kind of diy rig, here in Argentina every single stuff is stupidly expensive on these days, so i have to calculate which bars and screws and grips would be proper and functional... Greetings and keep on creating!!!

Thank you for the explanations and detailed description. Nice Stereo effect!

I lioke your explanations; please report next time, before or after, about your techniques and equipment

It could be one of the relaxing rain videos 🙂

Thank you verty much for it from Germany. I liked the way you explained it while practice it al lot!!! That makes decisions ... perfect!

Hi Alex, thanks for the great video! Can I actually ask you the reference for your eq. case ? It seems solid and useful ! Thx

Dope video, love the sounds of the insects. I do a little field recording here in Los Angeles, but it's always SO NOISEY. I've almost resorted to just capturing the sounds of cars and traffic and cityscapes. I want to do more nature, but that requires a good drive to get out of the city.

A budding sound mixer here. I just found your channel and I love it.

excellent video, thanks for sharing. In the recorder configuration do you use the panned channels L - R or do you keep them in the center?

Good video. Good information. I love to go out back and record our woods. I too started with a small recorder and built-in mics. Since I already do music recording I upgraded to a 4 input interface plugged into my tablet and using mics from the studio. A friend of mine even recommended making a CD with the intro to each song being nature (mostly birds) for each. So it gave it a fun twist

excellent keeep going on field recording videos

Thanks for sharing!! I find out field recording and ambient noise interesting and great for my art installation project. The tascam and zoom recorder isn't a cheap one in my country, but for start i would use sony or even my phone to record, maybe i will buy an omnidirectional mic for better result. Thanks

Thank you for making this.

You are so gosh darn adorable I can’t
