There are some interesting field recording albums by Toshiya
Tsunoda. I dont really know much about the process itself
though.

im thinking about using two condenser microphones to achieve
stereo effect afterwards. of course we're talking about two
phantom-powered xlr inputs for the mics.
and as for advices, good/bad spots ( in general), overall
approach, etc.

if you want field recording techniques/rig suggestions here
are some options

-extreme portability on a small budget- definitly want to
get yourself a minidisc recorder and a Sony ECM-MS907
microphone. both can be purchased for under $100. The
quality is great for the price you pay. Or if you dont want
a minidisc check out some of those Zoom flash drive
recorders.

-extreme portability on a larger budget- Go for the marantz
line of flash recorders. They start at around $500 and they
offer built in dual condesner mic preamps that sound decent.
Not the most amazing preamps for the price, but the
convenience and low noise of the recorder itself is
fantastic. No moving parts, all flash based.

-clunky portability on a largerbudget with higher quality-
Definitly want to think about getting an Mbox and a laptop.
If you already have a laptop great, get an mbox and a pair
of good condesners and you essentially have the same setup
as a marantz except much higher quality. The preamps on the
mbox are extremely good for $250, probably the best value
out there.
Only issue is youll have to carry around your laptop with
you and start/stopping recording is a bitch.

for microphone recommendations it totally depends on your
budget, if you dont want to spend more than $200 on mics i
recommend getting something like a pair of Oktavas or AKG
C1000s . I usually dont like using stereo micrphones
because 2 mono micrphones give me better control of the
stereo image.

hope that helps

ha,
thanks anyway.

i got a marantz pmd 660 with a pair of studio project's c1's
condenser mics. thats sufficient for now, but ultimately i
would like to get my hands on fostex fr2, oh yeah.

check out the world soundscape project.

i had a brief go with a tascam hd-p2[£700] and a
at825 [£260]

they may be a little pricey for what you're after but they
sound very crisp and clear. using the the recorder was a
doddle, and just makes you want to record everything.

ah, tascam. nice, but ive heard a lot of mixed opinions
about the pre-amps on it.

i was thinking about getting edirol r-4 as well, but fostex
appeals to be sooo much more rigid. the feel of it, those
screws on sides of unit.... ah.

next year or so, it will be mine anyway.sooner or later...
