Hello this is my first post and I am new to bird recording.
I'll just jump right in here. I have a zoom H2 and a Sennheiser MKE 300.
The zoom H2 is not very forgiving with external mics as I have read and know first hand.
As soon as I plug in any the MKE 300 there is s lot of noise even before I turn on the mic.
I did some tests to determine which setting are better. I found that the internal mics do very well even at picking up distant sounds. The MKE is really good at isolating the distant sounds when there is alot noise in the background.
My setup is not bad and will get me going.
I have a question about the Sennheiser ME67/ K6 set up or even th ME66.
If I were to invest in a good set up like the ME67/K6 I would also invest in a better recorder. I like the solid state systems and like the robust features of the Fostex FR2-LE.
With this combination would there be any noise in the recordings? I would hate to spend this much and be let down because I have High expecttations.
I guess I expected better results from the MKE300. But I think the zoom H@ is the weak link in this setup.
I like the ME67 since it would be the most directional in the shotgum mic market
Could someone post or den me some sound file that have not been processed? This way I can get an Idea of what a good set up sounds like before it is processed.
Also could someone point provide me the links so I can learn about sonograms and what they are and how to get started.
Thank you all for the info so far
