In my case more thinking than doing!
I have ambisonic equipment, which I use less often than I should to make wildlife recordings.
It is not the easiest recording method to master.
Any particular questions? Are you also trying ambisonics?
Thanks for your reply Jon.
At first, "ambisonics" was just a new word to me. But the more I read about it, the more fascinating it became.
My particular interest is in recording bird song and/or nature sound, in full (immersive (?)) 3D. Not just a left/right sound image but up and down, and distance, too. Just for personal enjoyment and for the challenge. Maybe a later commercial application.
The idea of binaural sound recording seemed to be the next step up from just stereo recording, given the possibility of detecting distance.
And then reading more, it seemed that since an ambisonic recording could also be converted to binaural and/or stereo sound,
then why not record everything in ambisonics to start with ?
My personal progress so far is minimal.
I have just bought a Zoom H8 a few days ago. Would have preferred the Zoom F6 but there is no firm delivery date, or price.
I see Zoom have an ambisonic mic module for the H8, but again no delivery date, but an attractive price.
I have started collecting components to build a DIY SASS head, using EM272 capsules.
And I have bought a pair of budget (Chinese) parabolic mics to play with the idea of hyper-stereo mic separation.
And my patch of land includes native forest with a small selection of birds and their dawn chorus. Plus frogs and their night-time chorus.
And also blessed with very low ambient noise levels, especially at night. (no cars, no traffic).
So, basically lots of ideas so far, but not much progress.
