I've been pretty happy with some recordings I did with my Portable Minidisc player and a SONY stereo condenser mic (sorry can't remember the model). I used it three years ago to do some field recordings of the Harp Seal herd off the coast of Prince Edward Island. It held up surprisingly well considering the arctic conditions (-40 F out on the frozen ocean), the display was not reliable at that temp, but the recordings came out fine. I probably could have used a wind shield of some sort, but listening back now, I like the sound of the wind. I also managed to get a fairly interesting recording of helicopter blades starting up in stereo from right below them. If money were not an object, I would like to have a Binaural mic set up and a DAT player. Question: Can you make a Binaural mic set up easily? Is it significantly more complicated than sticking condenser mics into the ears of a dummy head?

What kind of portable/remote equipment do you use? Special mikes? Suggested techniques? Helpful books or web sites for more info? Thanks! Mary Jane (ps: posted this question to the ambient@hyperreal list also, so pardon if you get this twice.) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
