Graham:
You are on the right track, just follow through with your plans.
I am a big fan of bees and hibiscus, so please post a link to your videos/ =
recordings when you have a good edit!=A0
BTW, what part of the world are you from?
All the best,Greg

=A0 Hello Gregory,
Thanks for the advice, I have just bought the Fostex and chose it on the ba=
sis of the preamp values from the table on Avisoft. Its close to mint condi=
tion and for =A3140 I didn't think I could do better. And, I hope to eventu=
ally add a Naiant IPA to my sony M10 which, with line input should bring my=
preamp noise down to -124dBA as well as giving full voltage to the mics.
The cables I bought are Van Damme tour grade with neutrik connectors. I hav=
e a large collection of rechargeable AA batteries and have eight=A0 living =
in the Fostex bag at the moment, but plan to replace with a couple of Tamiy=
a batteries, as you suggest, so the tip on which ones to buy is useful.
I have Senn HD25s, for headphones, and the very cheap, but remarkably good,=
Xiaomi Mi In Ear Headphones Piston 3.=A0 The latter, with the Sony, live i=
n my camera bag.
I have a 21" parabolic dish, made by Ian Brady of the WSRS, a Rode Smart La=
v+, a Rode Video Mic pro and a pair of FEL made EM172s for the Sony.
So although I would like a different set of headphones for editing, I am pr=
etty well fixed, just need to work on the Mic part.
First step, which may seem odd, is to get another set of EM172s, with XLRs,=
from Jonas, so I can run them into the Fostex, either as a pair for stereo=
, or as single mic in the dish. Though, I am now questioning the wisdom of =
this, and thinking that a single AT4022, to use in the dish (I can't afford=
two), and then a second AT4022 at a later date to give a stereo pair might=
be a better long term approach. It seems they aren't available as matched =
pairs so buying this way should be OK.=A0 I need to think about this.
With an interest in birds I have always wanted to record bird song, but I'm=
now really interested in doing short videos that have good quality soundsc=
apes, combined with some more detailed sounds.=A0 My latest exercise, is bu=
mble bees in a hibiscus where I had the EM172s clipped in the bush running =
to the Sony, and the Videomic pro recording to the camera.=A0 Which has tur=
ned out slightly odd as the short shotgun is giving more of an ambient soun=
d than the omis !
Just need to find the time to edit it now.
This seems to have ended up rather longer than intended !
Thanks again,
Graham
