Hello,
I am a complete novice at recording, and am hoping to learn a lot
very quickly. I am a 37 year old male named Derrick working on a
masters degree in biology. I did my research on the effects of
prescribed burning on bird populations over time, and am going to
start writing my thesis in the fall. My girlfriend is also working
on her masters and is currently doing research on saki monkeys in the
jungles of Peru. I will be going to join her in 2 weeks. She has
expressed an interest in recording the vocalizations of the monkeys,
and I am planning on constructing a parabolic microphone and using a
sony voice recorder to record the vocalizations. I have a very
limited budget, and have ordered a umbrella hat to construct the
parabola with, and a lavalier tie clip microphone. The sony recorder
I am planning on using has the folling specifications listed below.
Any advice would be appreciated. One problem I see with this is not
being able to listen via headphones as I am recording to make sure I
am getting what I want. Thanks in advance for any help. Derrick
