just signed up to this new audiopub thing, or at least new to me. who ever the creator is, thank you very much for creating this, i hope this will last long because i really enjoy listening to recordings created by blind people. i mean, sighted folks are very much welcome, but i feel like we have more creative and fun recordings than most of them do.

Starting to figure out what it would take to start a field recording group in Portland. Anyone interested?

I made a tune today, all in one go!

It's called Bang Holiday and running through it are squelchy noises from my brother in law's ham radio that I recorded in his shed on Saturday night.

Tel Quel - Decaying Lull

"When the noise fractures, what’s left is the lull—a crumbling five-track descent into ambient drift."

In the vein of #FieldRecording, I was taking a little time to listen to the Rode M5 ($179/pr) v. NT5 ($449/pr) small diaphragm condenser #microphones, and the NT5 is clearly superior.

However, for field use, I think the M5 is acceptable; it's missing a little on top and bottom, compared to the NT5, but the price difference for something that will be used in the wild is significant.

I wonder if there is anything else out there comparable to the NT5 but cheaper.

any tips on microphones / preamps for field recording very quiet outdoor environments?

my Zoom H4n (from 2008 or so?) seems to have quite a high noise floor (after digital amplification in Audacity) when the rec level is set to maximum and the environment is almost silent.

what are people using these days?

the H4n has a 3.5mm socket marked EXT MIC on the back, but I've never used it, and there are two line-level (afaik?) inputs (combined 1/4" jack/xlr sockets) on the bottom that I've used to record mixing desk and room audio simultaneously for live gigs (no complaints for that use case).
