Re: iPhone-based recording system.

Here's a great intro, with some compelling examples, by Bill Schmoker:

http://blog.aba.org/2012/04/mic-up-that-iphone.html

And some follow-up from Bill, here:

http://blog.aba.org/2012/05/mic-up-that-iphone-follow-up.html

I can't resist noting that under Bill's "Best" category (he gives us "Good," 
"Better," and "Best") the name David La Puma is prominently featured...  ;-)

Enjoy!

"...and if it wasn't for those pesky kids, and Ted Floyd, I would have
gotten away with it!"

Seriously though, I'm ditching the Marantz under the premise that "the best
recording device you have is the one in your pocket". I'm moving towards an
iPhone-based recording system and using the $$ from selling the Marantz to
buy the pistol grip and wind shield for my shotgun mic. That said, the
Marantz is one awesome recording deck- with 2 xlr inputs, various other
line-in capabilities, and great editing on the fly features. I've left it
in the field overnight to record dawn chorus and never had it fail on me.
Of course, it all comes down to what you intend to do with your recordings.

cheers

David

Hi, David & all.

I hope the following doesn't cut into David's profit...  ;-)

Anyhow, on the subject of recording equipment, I've just posted to The ABA Blog 
a detailed, three-part post (I can hear the groans already...) on my overall 
successes (and a few frustrations) with a minuscule and inexpensive recorder. 
When I say minuscule, I mean it: The contraption is a fair bit smaller than my 
cell phone, and I have a dumb phone, so it's small to begin with. Cost, $50.

Here are the links:
