For those who wonder about what kind of field recording I do.
I (plan to) record public ceremonies of hunters' associations in Mali,
West Africa. Praise-songs performed at these ceremonies are the focus of
my research.
Some people have emailed me privately about their own projects including
recording animal sounds for research and recording environmental sounds
for leisure (like "audio snapshots") and experimental music.
After asking around, I decided to buy an R37. It seems sturdy and durable
enough for my needs. I could have gone MDLP, especially for interviews,
but as I'll also bring a laptop and CDRW burner, it should be fine.
Now, the mic situation isn't completely solved. It seems a lot of people
are using ECM-MS907s. Looking at the specs and listening to recordings
made with similar mics, these don't offer good enough lower range
response (rated from 100Hz). It seems the 957s and 959s go down to 50Hz
which would be ideal. Any idea where I could find either of these for
cheap? They don't appear on eBay much.
Anyway, sorry for the long message.
Alex
