    Bury your hydrophone and tightly pack the dirt around it. Makes a great geophone and you hear all the vibrations from stuff driving, people walking, Air conditioner running, burrowing animals and beetles.

    Hi, I've been following your work for a while. It seems like you have a lot of equipment. Could you recommend some basic kit for a beginner? I want to take ambient sounds for video, and also do some sampling for music making. The only thing I have now is a Zoom H1. Thanks!

  • @maryannefunk4472
    @maryannefunk4472 4 роки тому +2

    Yes, I love the F4. I have that one as well. I'm going to take your advice from another video and also purchase the Zoom F6. I like that you don't have a home base. Where your feet are and where you are together, is where home is

    • @FreeToUseSounds
      @FreeToUseSounds  4 роки тому +1

      Hi Mary! Oh yes the F6 is a great recorder and a wonderful choice. We traveling the world for almost 5 years but right now home is in La Reunion until we can travel again. Who knows how long but we are fine.

    Hi, this is such a great source of inspiration. Which mic do you suggest for nature but also live music? I sold my Røde Stereo Videomic to upgrade and before I found your channel I was planning on buying two Røde NT5 or similar. Are Lom Usi Pro or Micro Usi Pro good for live music (indie/rock). Would be great to set up in a bag (like you do when going stealth) with the recorder so I could focus on filming at the same time.

    • @FreeToUseSounds
      @FreeToUseSounds  4 роки тому +1

      Hi Hendrik, this is an older video and for live music I would not recommend the Usi. They are way to sensitive. If I would start out again, I would go with a Audio Technica 4025. Also keep in mind, only putting microphones on a bag requires still focusing on sound.

    • @wangmedia
      @wangmedia 4 роки тому

      Ok, so you would even prefer the AT4025 over the Usi’s for ambient sounds? I have given up the idea of one mic for both ambience and music so I actually ordered the Micro Usi Pros yesterday and will use them for stealth recording. I’ll save up to a proper x/y like the AT4025 later, first I’ll have to start recording right 😉

    • @FreeToUseSounds
      @FreeToUseSounds  3 роки тому +1

      Henrik Lindblom That’s right :) Start recording and see how it goes.

    I see that you use Zoom. I've started also using digital recordings with Tascam. Very similar but cheaper in price because I don't have a business just a hobby and money can be limited.
