    Issue with Stereo/Mono Recording

    I cannot really solder, but I managed to make the connecting cable myself with some bad soldering. My setup gives sound to both channels in my LS-11 (or whatever 3.5 mic input) from a sennheiser mic. You need a female XLR connector (that you can open) and a 3.5 male stereo connector that you can...

    Pre amps ?

    Hi Gary, How do you connect LS5 to the ME66? A wrong kind of a connection causes unwanted noise. Harry J

    Ciel 401 detector

    Hi, Looks quite interesting. How long a TE sequence can it record (automatically?) and at what sampling? Does it have a prerecording buffer? Regards Harry J

    Can I get my recordings back?

    Hi, did you manage to recover the deleted sounds (wav or mp3s?) HarryJ

    What is buzzing noise that Olympus LS-12 is recording?

    try recording in a **really** quiet place in calm weather..

    What are these blips in recordings made with Olympus LS-12?

    Hi, a bit hard to tell, but I am guessing that the traffic/wind at low frequencies showing as a back line is too loud. If the sound saturates it created lines that cover all frequencies. Try lower gain. You can filter out low frequencies either when recording or postprocessing. Saturated...

    No experience - wanting to start field recording

    notactuallytom, the recording stuff is a bit like photography. Top of the line items tend to be expensive. The mkh mics are excellent ones, but they have a price tag of about a thousand money (£$€) per mic. A setup that I have tried could work and provide excellent...

    No experience - wanting to start field recording

    Sorry for being a bit late for this discussion. First have you tried the 6D itself for recording (and videoing) it produces rather clean sound files. You may need to protect the mic from wind though. I have quite some experience with a setup you are suggesting (either telinga, or shotgun or some...

    Novice starting set

    continuing.. Of course a ME62 is a excellent microphone, but again it is for different kind of recording. Good for example if you want to record the multitude of Acrocephali in Iso-huopalahti or a soundscape on one of the islands in the archipelago. HarryJ

    Novice starting set

    mic and recorder Hi Railoe, I suggest that you take time and look at some threads posted just recently in this forum. 1) Telinga or sennheiser ME66? Depends. Both are very good. If you want to record a single bird, eg. a Loc lus in Vanhankaupunginlahti, then go for Telinga, if...

    LCR low cost recorders

    Hi saxatilis, the various documents I find from the net say that it records in wav at 128kbps. (some give higher numbers 192kbps). Well, with that sampling rate it is not wav, but could be mps or some other format. It claims to be a voice and my opinion not worth putting your...

    How do mics work and which is best ?

    For untargeted (night) migration I would go for a mic that has either an omnidirectional or a cardoid, not a super or hypercardoid of the shotguns. Of course a shotgun works for migration but in my opinion it is not as good. A shotgun mic is a good compromise though if you want to make also e.g...

    How do mics work and which is best ?

    migration mic Gary, I've done some night migration monitoring, I have tested different types of mics and based my selection on that and on some math. It turns out that you don't gain anything using parabolic or shotgun mics. Yes you get some extra apparent gain, but you loose an equal...

    batbox baton

    Siriperera, I have seen a feature that looks like yours (not in batbox though). The wide band noise could be internal to your recording system. I have this in one of my setups. It can also be a somewhat unexpected external thing. Compact fluorescent light bulbs and some street lights...
