I have been interested in recording "environmental sounds" ever since I sto=
od in Rocky
Mountain National Park and heard the calls of Elk echoing off the mountains=
making a
spectacular 3D sonic picture in my head. It was an amazing experience. I =
would like to buy a
beginning set of equipment in the $1500 range that would let me record in 2=
(eventually
more) channels of ambient sound of things like insects in a summer wheat fi=
eld, a stream
flowing by and birds calling, owls calling to each other at night, the call=
to prayer from the
mosques in Istanbul etc. I would like to play this back via headphones or =
my stereo. I know
practically zero about recording but then I was pointed to this list I thou=
ght this might be a
great place to learn what I should be looking for, understand terminology, =
get pointers on
techniques etc.
By reading old postings I see that the Nature Sounds Society is also a good=
place to start.
Any suggestions on equipment for my ambient sounds goal?
