This is a bit non-bird at this point (bear with me) but I'm after a bit of advice on sound recording equipment.
I'm planing a long term photography project and, what with this being the age of multi media and all, want to record voices, ambient noise around the subjects etc to go with it. This is going to be about local small-scale Norfolk food producers - loads of whom are fascinating characters.
Knowing a few birders (and being a slightly lapsed BF - er), I also want to do something similar about the Norfolk bird scene. Loads of local people just haven't a clue about birders and have all sorts of odd ideas. That's probably be next autumn. But anyhow, that's by-the-by for now.
I'll then put the photos and chopped up sound together (hopefully in a not too obvious way) on the PC, exhibit the photos locally and publish the multi media on the interweb and also use it for presentations and within the exhibition if possible.
Or something like that.
I've got the willing subjects/victims, I've got the camera - the one thing I haven't got now is the sound recording equipment. Could anyone give me a steer toward what might be suitable? I tend to think digital, but I understand that tape may be as good as it's easily converted on the computer.
I would prefer to not spend a fortune (I'm thinking around £100) but on the other hand I don't want to paint myself too much into a corner with poor quality. Charming though that can be. |;|
Thanks in advance.
