I am a location sound recordist based out of Kerala, India. I use my Zoom H6 with Rycote Windjammer and my Sennheiser 416 for most of my work. Done all sorts of projects including feature films. I just found your channel and it's done nicely !

[MathiasLehnfeld]

Man, I've been following you for a year or two now and everytime I get outside and record or watch any of your videos I tell myself that this is what I'll do. But than 9-5 happens and I forget again. And I have a degree in Sound Design, no excuses left here.
Thank you for being such an inspiration and for sharing your knowledge!

[VOByRobbins]

So awesome that you want to share your success with others, really impressed with you and your wife, great advice for new field recordists wanting to start!!!!

I use a Zoom H5 With a RØDE NTG4+ with xlr connection, RØDE Blimp Windshield and Shock Mount System, with wind protector. Just love to go out and field record nature. I record mono and create stereo file using Adobe Audition. I never considered selling my files lol I would not know how to. Liked and Subscribed

Ich bin seit ca. 3 Tagen im Field-Recording Hasenloch verschwunden und es ist wunderbar =) Ich habe hier seit, ungelogen, vielen Jahren einen H4nPro herumliegen, den ich beruflich bisher vielleicht zwei Mal im Einsatz hatte - als gewöhnliches Interview-Mikrophon. Das Sounderlebnis meines vorletzten Uploads ist eigentlich der Grund dafür, warum ich überhaupt in dieses Loch fallen konnte.
Nach vielen Reviews, natürlich auch hier, von euch, komme ich immer mehr zu der Erkenntnis, dass ich den H4 ruhig noch weiterhin benutzen kann und mein Geld vielleicht besser in Mikrophone stecken sollte. Ich habe mir aus lauter Verzweiflung zum nicht verfügbaren Lom-Geofone erst mal ein Korg CM-300 gekauft, damit ich etwas zum herumspielen habe.
Vielen dank für eueren Content, es entsteht gerade so etwas wie eine neue (Klang) Welt vor meinen Ohren.
Liebe Grüße
Dieter

With my Olympus LS-12, nature and objects here I come! Even when Sound is lo-fi I can use it :-)

Thank you for the access and the use of your extensive library

[andrewj]

I use a zoom H4N Pro, with a Rode Lav+ and a Rode NTG2, with a Rode Blimp which I increase the preamps with an line Fethead Phantom. I record sound effects and field recordings for increased immersion with my audio fiction stories. I also use sound libraries such as Storyblocks, epidemic sound and your sound libraries. I edit my recordings with Audacity.

I found your recordings of Phong Nha, Vietnam on Bandcamp a few minutes ago and decided to look up videos on field recording and chose yours at random. Thanks for the huge boost of inspiration!

[sunjuhargun]

Thank you for sharing this! im living out in Thailand. On small journey to pursue turning my daily routine and everything this city has to offer in the form of sound and field recordings. Your videos have motivated me even more to craft a personal identity and very excited to experience the process and enjoy it all at the same time.

[silmio]

Man I really respect your attitude! You are really trying to build a community of field recordists to share experiences with. I'm thinking of picking up field recording as a hobby. Sounds interesting. Keep up the good work!

[blueak]

The H4n is the best Investment I've made. love how it doubles as an audio interface for music production!

[vermarkter]

I just started in the end of 2022 and my choice is Zoom H2n with WSU-1 as a recorder.
Plus cheap aliexprs law mic and boya by-mm1 as on camera mic.

You have really nice channel🔥

[erzloh]

Awesome! I'm going to buy the Zoom Hn2!! Thank you for what you do :D

[will]

Great videos. I'm using the H4N Pro, Audio Technica BP4025, and Superlux E 525L. Sometimes I'll run the mics through an Azden FMX-32 for the preamps, and then out to the H4N Pro.

[SirNisemaker]

I started with a handmade piezo pick up I used to plug in directly in my PC. I used it to primarily to record metals and house objects. My first recorder was the H2N I used for 4-5 years, until 2 of the mics started failing. I recently brought a H4N and a Rode NTG4plus. I always wanted a shotgun mic, but interestingly I don't record as much as I used to now. Hope that when the weather is nicer I'll get the chance to make some broader, but more focused soundscapes.

[isihan]

Just started with zoom h5 with a simple accessory kit + audacity. Quite enjoying so far... thanks for your videos :)

[annie]

I am a composition-majored student and want to apply field recording sounds into my electronic music.
As a beginner, it is very inspiring and useful to hear your sharing!
Thank you so much and looking forward to learning more from you!
