Thank you Ted. Oh for film? We don't do that and I'm sure its super stressful.

Für mich ist ORTF immer noch die natürlichste Stereoabbildung mit zwei Mikrofonen. Vor allem weil in der Mitte kaum ein "Loch" entsteht. Sennheiser oder Schoeps kann ich mir aktuell nicht leisten, aber mit meinen Rode M5MP nehme ich fast immer in ORTF. Das was du über die Footsteps während der Ocean-Aufnahme gesagt hast... da hab ich viel von dir gelernt. Vielen Dank dafür. Zu oft habe ich auf Aufnahmen verzichtet, nur weil sie nicht dem entsprochen haben, was ich mir vorher im Kopf zurechtgelegt hatte. Anstatt einfach dankbar anzunehmen, was die Soundscape mir da gerade bietet. Ich wünsche euch weiterhin viel Spaß, viel Erfolg und immer wieder neue, spannende Orte zum Aufnehmen, Filmen und Fotografieren. Viele Grüße - Til.

Don't knock the old Zoom H1N. When it came out it blew my mind but now I use better gear but it lives in my car for spontaneous recordings.

I love the long form material so much better, I actually have an attention span instead of 20 seconds at a time--- more meaningful!, such a fantastic video to watch, great work, and I love your take on recording with the footsteps etc, you're right--- you're recording a moment in time--- !!! great philosophy-- realistic recordings!!!

Loved this. When you mentioned street photography it made my heart sing. Thinking about getting into more of this sort of thing really lights me up and the way that you explain things makes it seem so accessible. Have you ever done a video comparing ORTF and DMS? I'm curious what the differences are and why I would choose one over the other. I have the Zoom F6 already. Just got to figure out the mics and wind protection.

Hey there -- Love the videos. So much good and fun info. I've watched your video on setting volumes (A Guide to Setting Gain for Field Recording: Tips and Tricks), but I have a more detailed question. I have a similar set up to the video seen here. The 8040s and the mix pre (even the cinela). In the mix-pre what is your starting gain in the microphone set up. There are essentially two amplitude settings. 1 in the set up (click the volume knob) and setting the Gain and then just adjusting the knob for the channel. I'm curious specifically around the Gain in the set up screen. I feel like, and I might be wrong, it's important to get that going as the base and then going from there with the volume knob. Too much Gain in the set up screen leads to the noise floor showing up much earlier in the volume adjustment knob setting. Hope this makes sense. Thanks!

Hi . Thanks for all the wonderful content. I was wondering if you ever tried to add a center mic to the ortf setup? I think ortf sounds beautiful but I often miss the center information when mixing 5.1. Also, can you fit an extra 8040/8050 in the Cinela while keeping the split box for the cables? Iøm considering getting the setup and would appreciate your feedback. Thanks :)

Thank you for continuing to upload! I know the channel hasn't been doing as good as before. I'm no sound designer/engineer/field recordist, but I am really fascinated by what you do. I also really love your story, and even though you're probably not the "best" youtubers out there, I still enjoy your videos, probably because I like the way you do things! I follow your channel more closely than any other. Keep it up! Also, love what you said relating street photography to sound recording. That's very interesting!

Nice thank you for the video! Why do you not mix the ORTF sound with your voice (lavalier or shotgun) for a richer sound during explanation phases? I ask because i plan to do that, do you think it is a good idea? Thanks

I think it sounded great. I especially loved the crashing waves. That recording had some lovey big booming wave crashes in it that sounded nice and dramatic. That was my favourite recording in this video. I probably prefer the Schoepps but it would have been great to hear a side-by-side comparison between the two. Hard to say, but the Schoepps always seem to give such a nice clear and clean sound. Anyway, as always I loved the video. Thanks so much Marcel. And Libby of course ;o) Can't forget the boss can I ?

No idea what's going on but I guess the global supply issue is still a big problem. Thomann have still not had the Zoom F3 in stock, and nobody in Switzerland has had it either. Thomann also have no F6 units in stock but they do have the F8 for 750 Francs. So much stuff is not available in Europe right now. As for me, I'll be happy if I can FINALLY get some Usi Pro's in the new LOM product drop tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

how do you feel like the zoom f series compares to the mixpre2? im planning to get a pair of 8040s soon and had been planning on getting a mixpre2-3 but theyre oos everywhere! im not opposed to getting the zoom in the meantime though.. any thoughts would be appreciated :)

My Zoom F4 compares very closely to my SD 744t in sound. Build wise the SD wipes the floor with the Zoom.

I can't afford MKH 8040 stereo pair.... but I notice they are not that sensitive at around 20 mV/Pa ....my most sensitive mic is the Rode NTG5 at 66mV/Pa ; but I would like to record ambient sounds in stereo, so, do you think getting a 2nd NTG5 and using them as a stereo pair is a bad idea ? (since I never heard of anyone stereo pairing shptgun mic.s) .. Also why do use you Zoom F6 rather than Mixpre 6 with the MKH 8040s ? As usual fascinating sounds you record bravo

@FreeToUseSounds

You can surely do that, so look for a stereo bar. Rode sells it. You may try the Rode wind cover for these mics first and see how it goes. I believe Rycote offers several BBG's plus covers, however when considering the cost, you might start with a less expensive Rode stereo microphone kit or even Behringer has some tiny ones that fit in a blimp. Also, keep in mind that you may require additional cable. Depending on the space, a second microphone stand, etc. When you add on and compare the cost of what is required, you sometimes end up spending more than on a set that already has everything ready. So break down the cost for another NTG5 plus al the other things to make it work. I use the F6 anytime I feel like it. When it comes to field recording, there is no noticeable difference between this machine and the MixPre 6ii in terms of sound.

@@FreeToUseSounds Thanks so much, your time really appreciated. I agree "no noticeable difference between MixPre and Zoom 6", but I give the edge for "warmth" of sound to the MixPre. Do you think a LOM basicUcho pair would be good for ambient sounds ? better than a stereo pair of NTG5 ?

@@pandoraefretum Ah you are talking about the new LOM microphones? I have the USI Pro and loved them just as I have the Micro. I'm sure the new one are great too. These are omnis as well and definitely great for ambience. If you want to go with Rode, also look up the Rode NT5 as stereo pair or the M5.

@@FreeToUseSounds ...that's right the new LOM are omni, small, quite sensitive, around 63 mV/Pa and reasonably low self noise, 14 dBA... I'm going to give them a go in half an hour... if I'm lucky.... I have a stereo NT4 (which I think is 2 NT5 in XY configuration).. obviously I would be able to do ORTF config, but maybe I never went for NT5 because it's "more of the same".. I follow your channel more and more... I suppose it can become quite addictive thinking of all the amazing sounds there are to record in the world.

Hi, ich wollte dir und euch einmal von Herzen danken - für so viele tolle Videos und die unglaublich hilfreichen und wertvollen (!) Informationen, die ihr hier - ich finde man kann das schon so sagen - einfach so teilt. Ich finde das sehr großzügig! Da ich für zukünftige Musikstücke im Ambient-Genre selber gerne hochqualitativ Atmosphären aufnehmen mag und nur wenig eigene Erfahrung mitbringe, habt ihr mir besonders mit eurer (ebenfalls kostenlos) bereitgestellten "Gear"-Liste auf eurer Website immens weitergeholfen. Ich warte nun auf mein Sennheiser MKH8040 Stereo-Set und bin dank euren Tipps mit Vorfreude erfüllt. Herzlichen Dank für so viel Großzügigkeit! Liebe Grüße, Joachim Heinrich

Hallo Joachim! Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback and it warms out hearts to read. The Sennheiser are wonderful microphones and we hope you enjoy them as much as we do. They might be a little noisy in the higher frequency but if you don’t pitch down it won’t be as noticeable. However I just bought and tested the Triton Audio Fethead with phantom power and I need way less gain. Amazing extra product. We make videos about them this week. Stay tuned :)
