    Field recording is one of the most wonderful things because you go outside and suddenly become SO MUCH MORE aware of your environment. I have been doing this since i had a little Cassette recorder with stereo mics and at first i only did it to have my own Foley Sounds for my own audio- and film projects. But it really has an effect on you too. In 2009 i had gotten a little second hand MiniDisc walkman from Sony and took it everywhere i went and recorded things with a little T.Bone ST40 stereo mic and often listened to these recordings when i was laying in bed. I loved that and also the process of recording any kind of environment. You hear things differently and it almost becomes an out of body experience where time somehow doesn't exist anymore. The best thing is when you turn these recordings into an audio story and basically going on a journey with your eyes closed and only with your ears.

    Nice video! I just got my H1n recently and am loving playing around with it. I never knew I liked recording sound so much.
    Question. In your early days when you were getting bird sounds and other outside sounds with your H1, were you using any kind of wind or pop filter, or were you just using the H1 in its birthday suit?
    I'm finding that it's VERY susceptible to wind/breezes so might need to do something about that :)

      To record wind sound you need better wind protection. It won’t work with a recorder like this however if you can hide the recorder facing the wind, it works. Also recording wind trough cracks works. Just make sure the wind doesn’t blow right into the microphone capsules.

    This is awesome, a few months ago I recorded my first big sample pack while away in a forest/beach location along the Great Ocean Road in Australia, I ended up with about 50 percussive sounds and 50 fx/ambience sounds, I use them in every song i write now.
    The only thing I had an issue with really was setting the gain for consistent sound levels across different samples. Are you making sure you hit a similar gain when recording no matter the sample or do you even out the levels in post? Cheers mate!

      Hi Sam! That sounds like fun. If Australia opens up we would come and do a 3 month trip in a camper van. :) With the F6 I don't use gain anymore but before I hit record I adjust the levels on the conditions. Later in post I do this too.

    I always carry a Zoom H1 in my backpack. It's a little beast and small so it is always with me. I first seen it being used to record Foley sounds for the Blade Runner 2049 movie in one of their behind the scenes videos. Yep that's right, the sound designers used it in the opening sequence of that movie to record the water boiling on the stove. The moment I seen the ZOOM logo I googled it and found one at my local store... I never ran so quick to get it. Since then I use it for work and side projects. Love your channel and great video :)

    One time I was recording the sounds of boats, and big ships going into, and out of the San Pedro Harbour. I set the recorder on top of a low flat rock, facing the harbour.
    On the playback, about fifteen or twenty minutes into the recording, I heard the sound of some kind of animal snffing the recorder!
    I think it might have been a skunk.

    Yo man... I've been a live sound engineer for over 15 years with the military, and definitely consider myself a bit of an audiophile. This video was absolutely awesome. I love your enthusiasm and encouragement. I have slept really well for years using rain noise, and this video is definitely inspiring me to get some field recording gear and go record my own soundscapes to share with other people that want really high quality ambient noise to sleep to, or study, or just have on. The poorly looped recordings just aren't cutting it. And with my knowledge in sound design and audio gear, I think I could do a bang up job!
    If you had to start all over again, would you go with the Audio Technica stereo mic you spoke about? What's the market like for 3D sound nowadays?
    Thanks again for sharing this with us. I really enjoyed it! Everything about it is top notch!

    Hi!
    After 3 years, do you still recommend H1n to beginners? Isn't there any newer alternative out there?
    In a review I saw the following points about H1n, what do you think about them?
    - The firmware update (to be downloaded from the Zoom homepage) is an older version than the version already installed in the device (!).
    - The often criticised rattling of the volume buttons on the sides has still not been resolved.
    - The hand-touch noise attenuation is also missing (you can hear every smallest finger tapper. If possible, you should place the part on a sative or lay it down - although it is referred to as a “handheld”).
