That highway overpass was really good

A really positive and encouraging introduction for everyone. I like Ian's enthusiasm for the possibilities too! Well done guys!!

I can see it in his face wanting to elaborate more but he held back. Which is a good thing because not everyone understands how a lot of the gear works. Very informative and great delivery.

Unpretentious and precise. Well done. Thank you for that.

To this day, still the best tutorial/guide on Field Recording.

Keep coming back to this video, brilliant work.

This was pretty amazing. Love the detailed explanation of the capture methods and the samples were awesome!

I love this guy. Excellent recordings too! Peace Christo 👽🐕🛸🎶☮️💀

Really wonderful video. I love Ian's enthusiasm

This was extremely helpful. I bought a Zoom H5 to record nature sounds with, and your video helped me understand the limitations of the H5. Thank you!

Thank you for one of the best descriptions and examples of recording techniques

Great introduction! Just perfect for newbies!!

Super informative, thanks Ian!

Really cool ! Waiting more episode ! 😊

Great stuff. Thanks for the video.

Perfect introduction, thanks a lot!

keep up the great work and thanks for sharing your experiences and professional insights

Cool video! Great to watch someone talking so passionately about field recording. 😀

My kind of stuff! Thank you!

love your passion Ian, thanks for sharing

Thank you for this, great tutorial!

Great vid. Very informative and motivating. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! I got to say, I love how you are kind of awkward but in a good genuine way.

fascinating, thank you Ian!

My H5 is my baby! All my tracks are recorded straight to it. I'd be lost without it!

I love this video! Thank you, Ian and PC!

A great video, thanks.

Thank for sharing, Ian. :)

Nice video! I've always been curious about the types of tools used to collect real-world sounds. Thanks, enjoyed the intro!

What a great informative video. Thankyou!

Awesome!

Great! Very well done!! It would be nice also a tutorial how to process the raw recording sound :)

damn this field recording go crazy

Look at that young man - NO dislikes. Your style is very inclusive, interesting to watch even though I know a fair bit after so many years (yes - the days of Nagra 's). Thanks. LOL I only called you a young man, because well, everyone is to me, but also it amuses me..I am probably a bit simple.

Ian!

Didn't know about the Ether, I will DEFINITELY be picking one of those up. As a degenerate noise fan and producer, all sorts of alternative ways of finding sounds are exciting to me.

Nice One :)

This is some amazing work you’ve done. I just recently purchased the zoom h1 essential recorder which came ou in January 2024 I believe have you used it and if so, what type of microphones work well with it also have the zoom for five and six essentials as well.

What brand is the parabolic dish? Great vid!

Great video. What parabolic dish do you use??

So bad ass man

A very nice video! I wouldn't call it an introduction for newbies as the gear costs like 20K :D Nonetheless, awesome job and great sounds. And for a newbie such as myself, this really helped to illustrate the different types of mics and setups for each use case. 5/5.. Would be 6/5 if I had an extra 20K at my disposal lol.

Yeah, that's what I thought when he started but I love the minimal system he shows at the end. For the 256 EUR that the Zoom H5 costs you get the field recorder plus the XY microphone. The other microphones are in the 100-150 EUR range and you can add those at a later time when you feel like needing it. But the best starting point is just your mobile phone with an audio recorder app. If I need to choose between the equipment I have at home or the phone in my pocket the choice is easy 😁 The full Zoom H5 setup shown will costs you around 500 EUR, depending on SD cards/additional wind screens and batteries, and is not too big.

Very smart ideas in here that anyone can learn from and use. Inspiring stuff, one of the better audio capture tutorials out there. Thank you so much. What's with the annoying buzz music in the beginning, I nearly skipped out!

Awesome! that's what I've always wanted to do! Would it be possible to start low with only an iPhone as recording device and if yes, what kind of mike would be the most appropriate to use for seaside or forest recordings? I imagine a shotgun could do the trick but not sure if there are some available. Thanks again fir this instructive video!

If you are using an iPhone Zoom actually makes a mid side and stereo xy mic that connect to it, here are the links www.perfectcircuit.com/zoom-iq6.html www.perfectcircuit.com/zoom-iq7.html

Can you please tell me which mics you use with the M/S array??

Wow

what Brand is the microphone shock mounts you have there ? Really need some to improve my recordings with less rattle noise

what is the hydrophone your referred to?

I find the audio quality of this video hilarious considering the subject

I want to record the audio played via my headset. What mic do you recommend? Thanks

man this guy is fucking cool!! great stuff pc :)

What is that parabolic microphone for recording bird songs please?

Ha, cool

I'd really appreciate your suggestion for how to simply isolate the standard H5 stereo XY mic from thumping noises when I want to have ot rest on a table / coffee table. I do a lot of interviews (always at a different place) and would like to keep everything as simple and light as possible. I’m planning to use two external lavalier mics but also want to use the builtin mic as well, as a backup / room mic. I'm thinking of mounting the zoom on a mini tripod on the table (which would allow me to simply point it in the direction I want) but don‘t want it to pick up every little tap or bump from the table. I doubt a tripod would dampen much if at all. Is there anything I can stick between the zoom and a tripod? Or do you think adding some kind of foam to the tripod is all I need? I realize a sweater or pillow can do the trick, I‘m just looking for a good small dependable solution that looks decent (doesn‘t visually distract too much) and uses as little space as possible and weighs as little as possible.

Foam might work, you could also find a shock mount for the H5 and put that on the small tripod. A highpass filter in post might also remove some of those noises.

What was the name of that hydrophone?

What parabolic mic is this?

Awesome, thanks. What is the recording device used w/ the dual 840 setup at 2:41? It doesn't seem like the Zoom, but maybe it is? What about the mount as well?

@PerfectCircuit

That is an adapter box for connecting the two microphones to a special stereo balanced cable, then it could be connected to any recorder (including the zoom). The mount is part of the blimp for blocking wind and is made by Rycote.

Hi amazing video. I recently bought the zoom h4n pro black. Could I achieve similar results using the xlr inputs or should I just get one of the more high end versions? I've read that the new h4n pros have similar preamps.

@PerfectCircuit

If you have the h4n already you can definitely use both the built in mics or an external mic plugged into the XLR inputs to get started field recording.

Hello and thanks for the video. Would you mind answering to a question for me? I bought the h5 and a Rode Stereo Videomic Pro. When l plug the Rode to the h5 capsule's input, l get a full stereo recording. However, when l plug the rode to one of the h5's XLR channels (let's say 'channel 1') via the Rode VXLR (3.5mm to Male XLR Adapter) all l get is a mono track. I don't know what l'm doing wrong 😪 Thanks in advance!

You would need to use a different adapter to connect to the XLR inputs and get stereo, you would need a cable that went from stereo 3.5mm to two XLR plugs

I'd Watch You Over Michael Cera ANYDAY !!!! Awkwardly Better Than Me In Front Of A Camera LOL AWESOME VIDEO!!!

The Zoom H5 is a great little recorder, but it’s a consumer-grade recorder with high self noise. You should really be using something like a Zoom F6 or a Sound Devices MixPre-3 II.

@PerfectCircuit

Neither of those devices feature built in microphones or the ease of use of the Zoom H5, they're arguably completely different products for different users. Higher quality maybe, but for the use case of running around getting field recordings in odd places, we stand by Ian's recommendation of the H5; it's a solid choice to get started, and experiment with field recording!

that solar panel sure does need some wd-40 love

Low cut filter please

It sucks that jet noise is destroying the outdoor acoustic environment
