Hi all,
I am Andrew Perkin with the Nocturnal Primate Research Group, Oxford Brooke=
s University, UK, and am based out here in Tanzania East Africa. I have mai=
nly been recording mammals, birds and frogs in the lesser known evergreen f=
orests of Tanzania. I have specialized my research on bushbabies and hyrax=
which produce interesting and extraordinary sounds and are largely unstudi=
ed. I started recording on a Sony WCM-6C, then Marantz PMD222 then on digi=
tal with the Marantz PMD660 all with Sennheiser K6ME66/67 mics (which I now=
want to upgrade - suggestions please!). My wish list: a sound devices mac=
hine with some MKHs. So I am a mono recordist in the main but am more an m=
ore interested in ambient recordings. I use Raimund Spect's Avisoft softwa=
re for sonographic display and sound analysis which gets used in my researc=
h. After all this time recording, I consider myself a novice when it comes=
to tech side of recording and thus like to ask others advice on which reco=
rding gear type questions. I have read a lot of useful posts here and in t=
he archive sections. So thanks for the invite I hope to contribute in some =
way as well and upload some of my recordings.
Rather get a good sound recording than a good photo!
Cheers Andrew
