Recording Sound Effects with amazing cheap contact microphone! #shorts

We purchased the Korg CM 300 contact microphone, which I use for field recording and recording sound effects. We're going to try it with water today, but I'll show you additional videos very soon.

Sounds OK for the price, but would like to hear it on other sources.

I find with these lower end microphones i hear a difference in the higher frequencies being not as bright, i remember my sound teacher telling us about the key test, where you jingle a set of car keys in front of different microphones to hear how bright or clinky they sound!

This was my first contact mic. I did have to use noise reduction and be very selective of the sources I recorded. It has its uses though.

Is the resonance from the glass or from the contact mic?

[pedrotlima]

Amazing for the price point :) One question, can you plug it into a portable recorder, like the Zoom H4n, directly or will it problems with input impedance (like piezo mics)?

I stumbled on your channel - and really loving it! I’m enjoying learning and listening to these sounds!
I typically sketch and was looking at ways to record the sketching process. I’m now wondering if a contact microphone is a good idea for capturing the sketching process.
Anyhow, thanks for sharing the videos and for bringing us along these audio adventures!

@freetousesounds did you connect this mic to DI isn’t?

Ich finde die Kombination aus Geofon und einem Kontaktmikrofon durchaus interessant - allerdings sollten beide direkt nebeneinander angebracht werden, um Phasenauslöschungen zu vermeiden. So könnte man die starken Mitten mit den starken Bässen des Geofons kombinieren. Und Höhen kann es ja schon physikalisch bedingt kaum geben. OK, du könntest ein Geofon mit einem Kontaktmikrofon und einem MKH8040 kombinieren, dann reicht der Frequenzgang von Infraschall bis Ultraschall :) aber das wäre dann schon irgendwie ein Overkill. Es sei denn, du erlebst mal ein Erdbeben in einer Fledermaushöhle, dann könnte es sich lohnen :)

Noise is texture. Don´t reduce the noise!

Klar - günstige Kontaktmikrofone müssen ja nicht schlecht sein. Der Rumble aus solch kleinen Mikrofonen ist auch ganz nett wenn man die Mitten noch mitnehmen kann.
