Hi All,
I am new to the list and I thought that I would introduce myself. My
name is Anthony Kirchgessner and I work as a bioinformatics
specialist at the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx, New York. I
am a lifelong birder, but have only just recently decided to try my
hand at recording.
Starting slowly (and relatively cheaply), I have constructed a
parabolic microphone (Edmund Scientifics large aluminum reflector;
various bits of PVC; Radio Shack stereo tie-clip mic) and purchased a
Sony MD MZ-N10 recorder. My first recording trip to the Adirondacks
last week went very well. I am amazed at the varieties of sounds that
are normally unheard. I have much to learn, but I'm enjoying every
moment of the process. I particularly like how recording forces one
to use senses typically ignored.
Since returning, I've been reading many of the posts here and they've
been extremely helpful. Tips for using Cool Edit have been especially
welcome. Thanks to you all.
Anthony Kirchgessner
