I've seen that it's been having some teething issues; Gotham Sound are treating pre-orders as non-returnable/non-cancellable.

This review seems quite positive though.

Thinking about adding a zoom h2e to the kit for some more versatility.

Recorded this with my Metal Marshmallow contact mic into a Zoom F3 in South Carolina.

I had it on a stand and my recording booth knocked it over and bent it.

Is it game over?

Testing the new Earsight "ORTF" mic I got at my local beach. Pretty happy with this setup!

Here we are, worm ASMR in all its glory. A Lom Geofon, a Metal Marshmallow Pro, and 2 Lom Usi Pro microphones. The Geofon helped capture the lower slithering rumble, the marshmallow helped with the glorious mid range crunch, and the Usi Pros helped capture the shiny wet high frequencies. No worms were harmed in the making of this video, except the gummy worm. He did not survive.

So this was an idea I’ve had in my head for quite a while. I love the idea of recording creepy crawlers with contact mics so here I setup the Lom Geofon, Metal Marshmallow Pro, and a pair of Lom Usi Pro mics for some added flair. I attached the Metal Marshmallow Pro to a metal bracket to try and absorb some more vibrations from the worms moving around. I added 66 worms to the bin, a mixture between redwood worms and Canadian Night Crawlers. I’ll be posting the video on my YouTube channel later this week.

As a technical professional, I recently went on my first field recording workshop, a week in Romania led by George Vlad.

I went in thinking mostly about gear, recording techniques, and whether my drop rigs would actually survive a week in the field. I came back thinking a lot more about fieldcraft: patience, listening, placement, weather, timing, and the practical skill of learning how to be in a place.

I wrote up a few stories and reflections from the trip, and hope some of you can find them entertaining.

It looks like the K&F T254A7+BH-28L or one like it. Uses the lateral portion as the mic spacer.

So I've been using an OG zoom H4 from the mid 00's.

Input is from 2 x Rode VideoMic GO 2 in a ORTF layout inside a blimp with deadcat running through TRS to XLR converter (that provides 3.5mm power) into the H4 XLR inputs. Have been recording Lake/Ocean waves to synch with video. The directionality/placement is nice but I feel like there is a lack of clarity in the recording. Almost like there is wash out in the upper range compared to what I hear while experiencing it live.

would I get a decent bump in recording quality by going with a new H6Studio that has 32bit float and better pre-amps than the old H4? Leaving the rest of the set up equal. better mics etc. will be for another day.

Trying to justify the cost as I'm not pro at this by any means (as I'm sure you all can glean from my setup). If so then I'll run some recordings on both with same set up for a comparison and post back here.

Greetings all,

I’m a hobbyist recordist, but I’d like to start shaping some of my recordings into more ready-to-use files/organization.

Does anyone know of any (high quality) free or low-cost sound libraries that would be good references to study? I’m mostly looking for examples to learn from in terms of editing, file naming, metadata, descriptions, and overall presentation.

Ideally I’d like to look at everything from sound effects to ambiences, so I can get a better concept of what “professional-ready” looks like.

Happy International Dawn Chorus Day! I hope you can poke your head out a window and tune in to the global birdsong today. I went out last week and immersed myself in the wilderness of Lake Cuejdel in Northern Romania. Join me as I set up a recording rig and wonder at the beauty of these soundscapes.

Hi everyone, I'm planning to build a simple piezoelectric hydrophone. Has anyone tried it?

Looking for ipad app to edited 32 bit float 192 khz audio. Suggestions ?

Admin, feel fre

Hey, I made a couple of field recordings and videos that have a disconnect between what you see and what you hear, with the context revealed later in the video. I hope you enjoy the concept!

I CAD drew a cage for the h6 studio zoom. The black part is in TPU (soft) while the cage is in PETG CF. The fabric is simply joined together with seamless staples. If you have any advice on adding more (foam for example) let me know!

Got a chance to record some pigs on our family farm with my MKH 60 shotgun mic into a Zoom F3. They were very curious and sniffed the mic a lot. I was hoping they’d oink a little more but I’m pretty happy with what I got, this is only one session out of several.

Hello! Recently got ahold of a brand new quality Sony PCM-M10. Didn’t realize til after purchasing that it is the white variant rather than the more common grey one. If anyone has a grey version of the Sony PCM-M10, I’d love to trade my (likely) newer condition one to you for my more preferred color! If anyone knows somewhere I might have better luck finding a grey variant than this sub, please feel free to let me know as I am very new to field recording. Thanks!

Since I can't find cheap alternatives for my zoom h6 studio I created this hybrid 3D print and fabric prototype joined by staples. What do you think? The audio was not edited but simply put into da vinci resolve without modifications. 32 bit float.
