Thanks for the compliment.
Well, for the owl recording I used the wl-183s strapped to opposite
sides of a tree with my home made mount and windscreens as shown on my
website at this URL:
http://www.rockscallop.org/how/183/183mount01.html
I placed them very close to a spot where I had recorded a Great Horned
Owl on a previous occasion. The recorder was a Sony MZ-NH700 set on
Hi-SP mode (ATRAC3plus/256kbps) which yields about 8 hours of
recording. I started the recorder at about 3:50 AM and the owl began
calling around 6:20 AM.
The stream is a combination of three separate recordings using a
technique similar to what Bernie Krause has explained several times to
our group. That is taking recordings at different distances and mixing
them together. For this one, I threw it together kind of hastily:
next time I will put more care into the editing. Both the NT1-A's and
the WL 183s have worked great for me for recording stream sounds.
For editing I have been using Adobe Audition.
Speaking of "Winter recording thoughts" of Danny's recent post: it is
a great time of year to record streams (and other wet sounds) in
Oregon's Coast Range: I'm praying for wind free weekend nights and
mornings.
