Dear All,
I guess I am a Neanderthal, but I record using the Telinga dish, a Senn MKH
20 and use a HHB Portadisc. I record in mono and use the stereo to record one
setting at -10 or so and the other significantly lower. Often I need to
record with rapid reaction (this is why I love the 5 second buffer offered by
the
HHB) as the bird may only sing one time and I can't afford a clipped
recording. The "second track" has saved me many times. I am not after really
pristine recordings, but just ones that are publishable so one can easily tell
the
birds song or call.
So, am I in the 20th century?
Best,
John
