Thanks everyone who has advised me about minidisc recorders. Now I
have to ask basic mic questions. I have a printout from someone who
built a "T Style Stereo Mike for MiniDisc. "How to make a stereo or
binaural T style mike for about $10".
www.mindisc.org/jim_coon/
He bought 2 condenser mikes from Radio Shack ($2) and wired them up
with wiring from ear-buds. He placed them on either end of some kind
of polyethylene tubing. He cut off the ear buds & used the plug to
plug into his recording unit.
Does this make sense to anyone? I know nothing about mics but if I can
get some for $2 that will work with a bit of creative placement... I'm
going for it!
What's best? "stereo", Omni directional, cardioid, binaural?
Also, people have been talking about 'boom' mics for zooming in to
high-up or far-off noises... but why not just mount your mic on a nice
long stick, using duct tape?
Low Budget,
Laura
