What? Huh? You want me to stop? Sorry my ears don't work too good and I can't hear you over the wet slapping. The fish? You don't like it when I hit you with the fish? Why?
hello! I was just curious--in yer ambient tracks, do you do any field recording to produce those?
you really inspired me to start to make my own stuff a few years ago but I've just been using my phone for the field recordings--figure it's about time to get a dedicated device and was wondering if you had any recommendations!
just thought to ask! thank you!
hello! i actually don't use very many field recordings for my ambient work. if it sounds like i do i'm usually just pointing a microphone out my window or something lol.
but, i do have some suggestions. zoom and tascam are the big reliable brands for portable stereo recorders. they can get really expensive but you don't need a super nice one, their $100-120 dollar models work just fine. also worth considering: zoom and shure both make stereo microphones that plug right into your phone (via lightning or usb-c) that are super convenient. i have a shure mv88 (the cheaper original model, not the mv88+) and it works really well. but as far as i know it's only for iphone.
whatever the case, as long as it's a stereo recorder from any of those brands i think it'll add a lot of depth and interest to your ambient work. there's simply nothing like putting on a good pair of headphones and feeling like you're actually there. there's a little bird chirping in a tree to the left, then a car gently drives by to the right. ahhh oh my god it fuckin' rules
