Hi all,
I am a newcomer to the recording world and got into it via birds here in Mi=
ssissippi. So, up to now I've mostly been recording bird sounds with a para=
bolic reflector and omnidirectional microphone. But I'm increasingly intere=
sted in soundscapes. I'd like to experiment with a mid side setup and I'm w=
ondering about microphone choices on a budget.=A0
Message: 1. 
Subject: In particular does anyone have recommendations for the best bang for 
you=
r buck for the side microphone? I'd like to get an MKH-30, but I think it's=
 outside my price range right now. Has anyone used a Shure Beta 181-Bi for =
field recording? Or am I on the wrong track?=A02. What about mid side setup=
s in a single housing, e.g., a stereo shotgun microphone. Do these work jus=
t as well?
Thanks in advance for any assistance,
JR
