I have used Hi-MD recorders many times for weddings or event shoots without ever having a timing problem in "post". Gene Whoa! The Sony and Sharp Hi/MD's I use drift 4 frames max in 74 minutes. Could
Whoa! The Sony and Sharp Hi/MD's I use drift 4 frames max in 74 minutes. Could the LS-10 really be 100 times less accurate? It seems accurate timing could be important,.. but maybe not as there are n
Hi Max, Kevin, Rob et al, Max - You need the limiter OFF!!!! And you need recording level set at MANUAL (not auto). If you have a good blimp for the ME67 try recording with low cut off, for a wider r
Yes. The samples are taken from sections of all three samples when the loud, close Lyrebird is NOT calling-- only the distant ones. The "signal" in these sections is softer making the noise component
Hi Vicki! From now on Limiter is off! I have also always used MANUAL. I will do some experiments later, taking a more note of recording level values. It's likely I was expecting too high a level to r
Rob, Problem is, Rob, that I cannot use the SASS set up with the LS-10, due to the mics requiring phantom power. I guess what I was originally trying to show was a. that the LS-10 COULD pick up low r
Max and all, Max, try putting your LS-10 on recording level 5 (REC LEVEL knob on right hand side). Make sure the high sensitivity switch is on. Then try to get as close as possible to the singing bir
Hi Vicki! I've been doing a little bit of experimenting, and a couple of points have come up. Firstly, what I've discovered is that I get a higher level reading with the Low cut off (makes sense I su
Hi Lilly-- I don't think I'd bother with substituting a Sony D50 or Edirol R09 thinking a different recorder will get you the quality improvement you are after. These recorders are similar enough and
While Martyn, Kevin, and I were leading a soundscape workshop in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, last week, we had a moment to record a dramatic series of thunderstorms that swept through the valley. Basicall
Max, and everyone, I will post a photo on the naturerecordists web page, of my home-made wind cover for the LS-10. It works OK in a light breeze, and has an air gap between the fleece and the mics. I
Hi Vicki and Syd, Vicki, it sounds as though your thinking on the shield is similar to mine; air gap plus cover over foams. I look forward very much to seeing your photo. You have me slightly worried
Hi Rob, OK since you asked! I will upload to the naturerecordists web page, my LS-10 beeper test that compares 16 bit with 24 bit. I was using an ME67 with the LS-10, set 3.5 metres from an electroni
Hi Vicki-- Thanks! I agree that there's no difference in the noise between these two samples. I think, however, that both the metronome and the room ambience behind it are considerably too loud for q
Hi Bernie & KlasNo contest on the quest for convenience and reliability. I'm running trials and thinking about taking an MP2->H2 combo on a once in a lifetime jaunt with a bunch of 8GB cards. I would
Hi Dan-- So, for the above, the loudest noise was from the EM-23 -> MT90 combo but low Hz noise from the LS-10's _line input_ was also audible? Does this suggest the noise could be created in the A-D
Hi Vicki! What an incredible sounding bird! I've never heard one of these before (they don't often turn up on the Cambridgeshire fens) and I was just stunned. How wonderful to have such a quiet place
This is a great set of recordings, and I love the Olympus info right now, since I'm waiting for an Olympus LS-10 to arrive. I may try it woth some other outboard mics, and will be sure to let anyone
Hi Raimund-- Numerically, one would think the LS-10's mic pre would be inaudible. Maybe the battery/phantom powering self-noise discrepancy could account for some or all of the audible increase in no
Re: [Nature Recordists] Recording Gear For Installation (was Olympus LS-10 and S Hum, it may be that I'll want 2 recorders since I want to walk around to get sounds (stealth, conversations, interview
