Interesting idea. Although there is a problem with at least one of the
sounds I will be capturing - the kangaroo sound for instance will have
to be captured in an open paddock - the only place you can reliably
capture them. I have one in mind where the kangaroos tend to gather in
the early evening.
You would have to get very lucky or be very persistent to have a roo hop
past a randomly chosen tree in the forest.
Is a 'lapel' mic (pardon my ignorance) the kind of thing you could use
to capture voice with as well?
I am needing to choose two (identical) mics for voice recording with two
of the md machines. This will be in addition to a seperate stereo
ambient rig. If there is any possibility the voice mics I choose could
be used in the way you suggest then I would then have the basis for a
second ambient setup of the type you have proposed.
