Fantastic video. I'm very new to this and it was hard to find any information that wasn't "hire someone" or "BUY EVERYTHING". I learnt a lot and feel more comfortable making some decisions and finding a direction. Much appreciated!
Really great video, I am just wondering why not IEMs. I use the IE200 for music listening and I will use those for field recording, they’re quite clean sounding
Thanks for watching and your comment. I actually just use the hd25 because i have them since like for ever and i like the sound of them. But i guess IEM works totally fine too. Good to hear that the IE200 work out nicely, maybe i'll consider that for the future (would be also a lot more portable!) Thanks for the input.
Vielen Dank für das Vorstellen Deines Equipments! Ich bin neu beim Field Recording und sauge gerade alle Infos dazu ein. Dabei hilft mir dieses Video sehr! Einen Zoom H4e habe ich bereits, die beiden Rode M5 und Zubehör sind auf dem Weg zu mir. Ich freue mich schon auf weitere Videos!
Vielen Dank fürs Einschalten, schön hat dir das Video geholfen! Rode M5 sind auf jeden Fall seine super Entscheidung. Mit AB oder ORTF Aufnahmen eröffnen sich noch einmal ganz neue Welten. Auch das Preisleistungsverhältnis find ich gut bei den M5. Happy Recording!
Thanks a lot for tuning in! Yes, I really like this mic. I'm quite new to binaural audio but i enjoy it a lot so far. For field recordings this mic is super immersive.
hi! i’ve checked pretty much every single video on your channel about this topic, so far loving it as a beginner! I’m trying to get into more experimental sound design (possibily on a budget lol), working mostly with piezos and contact mics. I’ve read online that you usually need a pretty good preamp with high impedence to bring out the potential of the microphone itself in terms of frequency spectrum, but then you’d also need a handheld recorder to store the recs. So i was wondering if the Zoom H5 would work in my case, or should I still need an external preamp for stereo microphones? I have no clue, if you could guide me through choosing a good and balanced [portable] setup i would never thank you enough! Love your vids man xx
Hey there, thanks a lot for your nice comment, I'm glad you liked it! I personally found the choice of mics much more important at the beginning than the preamp. So you could definitely choose the H5 recorder and use that to plug in two external stereo mics. And the quality will be just fine. With the sounddevices you get definitely better preamps, but for the beginning this is not necessary since it's quite expensive. I am sometimes actually also just recording with the h5 and an external mic, because its much more conventient and handy. One thing you might consider is to choose a recorder with 32 bit float. I find this the most useful feature when switching, and i wish the h5 would have this possibility. So it might be the Zoom H6 essential for example. Hope this helps, have fun recording!
@@JonasFasching thx you so much for the quick and exhaustive reply, i wouldn’t want to abuse of your kindness (and knowledge ofc haha) but i still have a few unsolved doubts, but that depends exclusively on my personal level of knowledge regarding (very low 😆). Is there a way we could get in touch via DM, discord or something? Not trying to clog the whole comment section here, haha. Btw if you have a few mic names you’d recommend to use with the H6 essential that would be even greater. Thanks a lot again!!
@ You're very welcome! Always glad if I can help a fellow recorder. You can get in touch on Instagram or via Mail. Check out my channel description. I don't have a Discord yet, could be something to consider though :) As for the mics: When I started to use external mics instead of the capsule by zoom, the quality of my recordings really started to change. The self-noise of the Zoom H5 mic is quite high, so with external mics, you will definitely get a lot less self noise. I really like all mics by LOM, they are a great and affordable brand for field recording. And I also use the M5 by Rode for ORTF, this one takes up a bit more space, but is still a great place to start out with as well. Don't hesitate to get in contact. Happy recording.
Great overview! Thank you. I am just starting with field recording as a part for my videos (I just want to enhance original sound from locations), so totally newbie. This really helped me. At my start, I have two struggles: how to manage a lot of recordings with camera takes (I can clap, but it´s hard to recognize which wav is tied to which clip). And also the handling noise from headphones cable while recording from my stereo recorder Tascam. I have to stay as a brick just to make sure, there is no cable movement during recording. Is there any tip for that? Anyway, thank you for this tutorial, I am just looking forward to get another takes
Hey there, thanks for watching, i'm glad it was helpful! I often say something before i record so that i can sync it with my voice. If your camera records audio as well, you can then just sync it in post with your editing software. I use Premiere Pro for that, but any other software can do this as well. Yeah, the movement problem, i definitely know this. If you bring tape, you can tape the cable to a surface and your movements will first get dampened by that. And using a tripod is also very helpful, which reduced handling noise in general. Or you could also get a headphone extension chord, which would also make you more flexibel. I hope this helps :)
Hello! What program can you recommend to a beginner for 32-bit float files? Audacity, Audition, Reaper? What software and plugins do you use yourself? How do you process 32-bit float files?
Hey there. For beginners I would recommend using a free software such as Audacity which also supports the use of 32-bit float files. I myself am iZotope RX to edit, normalize etc. For further use, sampling, composition and arraning recordings I use Ableton Live.
No, I am not in field recording. I just need to put a microphone outside of my house so when cats start fighting I could go and put some order on the situation. I can't believe it is so hard to pick a microphone for outdoors and that I need to learn a whole field of "field recording" now. I don't have time for this.

Glad you found this helpful! Thanks for watching.
Beginning to end this was jam packed with information. Sound & Field recording I know nothing about, but this video helped. Thanks mate!
Awesome, glad I could give some insights! Thanks for watching :)
10 thumbs up! It's the little things that make a difference, and this was full of all kinds of gems!
thanks a lot! im glad it was helpful!
lets keep it up! nice gear! btw hello from zh
Thanks a lot! Greetings from Bern :)

Nicely done Brother! I always learn something. Looking forward to the next video.
Hey there! Thanks a lot for your feedback, glad you liked it.
Looking forward for the next one as well :))
Good stuff Jonas. I do like the SR3D. Hopefully one day soon I'll get myself one.

Big thanks. 2 days i m searching this kind of tutorial. Do you plan an editing field sound tutorial ? Could be great !
Hey there, I'm happy you found my video. Glad you liked it. Great idea about a editing field sounds video. I'll add that to my list!
