Hello folks!
Great knowledge in here...I love reading this forum, and now I am a part of it also.
I have not much experience in recording but I want to and I will be purchasing some gear this summer. I want to record nature ambient sounds...like birds and surroundings etc, and also to record some nature and urban action with binaural mics. I've been searching the web here and there and been listening to some samples...So I finally decided to get a Sony PCM M10 for ambience and for binaural I like Roland CS-10EM.
Since I am on a budget this is the best quality vs price I could find so far.
For example I didn't quite like how H4n internal mics sound in the high mids...but for a second budget recorder what I need is it to have low self noise and good sounding preamps for the CS-10EM.
I also didn't really like how OKM II sound...I did like Shure 183 but they are much pricier and they are clips so I don't know how to mount them to my ears to make binaural...(?)
Now, sometimes I would like to record both at the same time, so, what would you recommend for another recorder? I'm seeing Soundman offers its DR 2 for 35e...which is really cheap comparing to all the other recorders...so I was wondering if anyone has some new insights on the sound quality of DR 2? Couldn't find this info in the old topic about DR2. Its got just 2GB internal memory, I wonder how much recorded minutes is that if recording WAV at 24/48...
Any advice is most wellcome
Regards...Leon
