Re: Time to buy a microphone

[mntncougar]

Several years ago I bought a Sony PCM M10 recorder because I  wanted to r
ecord bird songs. I used it often but was never really satisfied with  the=

recordings because of the background noise such as other birds, distant =

traffic, etc. Last year I bought a shotgun mic, and although I was somewhat=

disappointed at the lower Db level (as much as 15 Db less than with the on-=
board
mics) I was amazed to realize how much better the sound quality was with
the new  mic. Overall, I am quite happy with this mic. However, there are
times when I  would prefer an omni mic because I actually want to pick up m=
ore
of the ambient  sound, with better quality than the built-in mics.. I would=

probably not use  this mic too often, however, and I don't want to break th=
e
bank with it.
Any suggestions?
