Hi all.
Just joined this very interesting forum.
I have recently taken up a new hobby of recording bird & wildlife sounds.
However, since I am a big fan of analog reel to reel tape media, I am using, for now at least, a UHER Report Monitor 4000 portable tape deck.
The record & playback audio quality is terrific.
I have been using an AKG C1000S condensor mic with it, not too bad, but could do better as this mic has a fairly high internal noise level so is not ideal for very quiet sounds.
Very soon I will have a Rode NTG4+ shotgun mic to use also, this will be a bit better for my outdoor field recordings I think.
I have recordings of crows, currawongs, rainbow lorikeets, and some others, but not too many as yet. I really look forward to doing a lot more !
Has anyone else here used analog tape for recording bird calls ?
Cheers, Chris
