Couldn't say it any better Klas, 90% of questions in this group are the sam=
e
and yet time and time again you can go out on low budget and get a great
recording.
I don't mean either that you go and record on toilet paper....

Subject: Re: [Nature Recordists] Good Enough
Well spoken! Besides from that, there are other aspects:
Can you actually hear the difference between DAT and MD?
Or just see it?
Suppose 75% of the potential wildlife recordists abandon the idea to record=
,
because they cannot affort "the best" equipment - is that wanted?
In my experience, the biggest problem is too few recordists, not having a
good working standard, placing the wrong microphones at the wrong places et=
c
- filtering their recordings in a wrong way and so on.
Let me assure you, judging from the questions I get - 90% of all wildlife
recordists know only the very very basic and less than that.
In my thinking, the task must be to simplify wildlife recording as much as
ever possible.
Many of the "myths" or "truths" from the real experts, inhibit this process=
.
"Good enough" is in my mind a very good argument, which does not at all
contradict with the arguments that SOME people also have to deal with the
margins in order to find perfection.
But VERY few people handles BOTH "the best equipment" and "an active
recording work". Mosty, it is either / or.
Mostly, the ones having a simple equipment make lots of recordings, while
most "high-tech" persons stay in their labs, looking at visible analysis an=
d
worrying.
