Omni's are good, especially for ambiance recordings, giving quite natural stereo sound so something like the WL183's work very well. I can't remember who it...
... Hello and welcome to the list, Paul. You'll probably have to experiment with some of the options before you come-up with a rig you will be happy with for a...
<<Is this the end of minidisc in North America?>> Much as I liked the format a few years ago, I believe advances in solid state memory have doomed the MD. I...
I believe the ATRAC MD preceeded MP3 as a useful method. At least I had not heard of MP3 until I'd been using MDs for maybe ten years. I'd have to look it up...
<<As I continue to do my homework, I am finding out that the WL183's are omnidirectional. And omnidirectional is great for true stereo imaging in 360. >> Sort...
Posted by: "paulmcnelis" ... No, no mic is good for everything. Omnis only give you stereo if you separate them by a ways or use some sort of barrier to modify...
If anyone on the list is interested (or know of someone who might be) in "Retro-production," I have an Otari MX5050 8-track analog recorder/ deck supported by...
I've been researching this for a while, too. Even smaller options: Zoom H2 (quality unknown, but it's cheaper and smaller than the H4) Edirol R09 - these are...
Chris the recording you heard of the first bird song ever recorded is a caged Common Shama (Copyschus malabaricus) that Ludwig Koch, in 1889 at the age of ...
Thanks Phil, That would be me. "Tree Ears" is my own trademark for some of the microphone mounting and windscreen systems that I have invented. The idea...
I had a Rode NT4 until recently. It was a good mic when it worked. My NT4 was far too sensitive to humidity to use here in humid South Carolina. After about 5...
Thanks for pointing me to this Richard, I can now see it as a Shama - an unlikely subject for a first recording in Europe! My own first reference source...
I'm no expert and I'm still learning having joined about a year ago. Here's my progression on recorders: SonyDAT, Tascam HD-P2, Sound Devices MixPre for the...
... I thoroughly agree with you about carefully considering priorities within one's budget. For example, one may not be able to take advantage of a $2300 Sound...
Thought some of you might find this interesting. I have the full version 9 of the Sound Forge software, so am not familiar with this version, but still can't...
Thank you all for your helpful replies about recording equipment - I have to admit, getting started was daunting for me but you've given me an excellent start....
One approach to using omnis such as WL-183s (I have an older pair of WL83s, very similar) is using the shoulder mounting a la Dan Dugan's recording vest, with...
Hi All, I just received the approval notice from our moderator, which asked for a little introduction, so... I recently got into field recordings after...

Hello all, All this talk about the Wl-183 has me intirgued. Is it an easy mod to change the plug on the Wl-183? I am assuming that people are swapping out the...
Zach: Rob Danielson's got a very informative page about WL 183's: http://www.uwm.edu/~type/audio-reports/Shure-WL183s/index.htm has links to documents...
Good article... I see Dan but who is that in the back??? Hard on the eyes. : ) There has also been talk of building a 9v battery box to power the 183s. I...
After a happy summer of traveling hither and yon with my new Telinga stereo microphone, I am wondering how much rough handling it can take. It has held up...

Hey RD, I'm of the opinion that even if you don't need permission, it's considerate and in good form to ask. Usually the recordist is flattered (as I would...
