Hello Everyone,
I'm brand new to the group and a total greenhorn to nature recording. I
recently attended my first go-round in Martyn Stewart's naturesound.org
recording workshop which, in addition to being outstanding, was a real
galvanizing moment for me. I'm an independent producer for public radio and I
live in Yellowstone National Park. I want to change the world through
listening.
But I have a lot to learn.
Recently, I recorded the drumming of a ruffed grouse. I used an SD 702 recorder
and a Sennheiser MKH 416 shotgun in a Rycote with a fuzzy. I use Adobe Audition
CS 5.5 for post.
My problem is that the sound is OK (not outstanding, just OK) through
headphones, but practically inaudible through computer speakers. I tried
amplifying the whole shebang and also tried further bringing up some of the
lows, which again, sounds OK through headphones, but I don't know what to do to
make it work without headphones. I also tried speeding up the recording just a
bit -- also improves things marginally, but since this is supposed to pair with
video shot at the same time, I'm not sure that's going to work.
I'm sure you're all shaking your heads at me, but I would love any advice that
any of you have the time to offer.
Thanks in advance for your consideration.
All the best,
Jennifer Jerrett
