thats a great reply, thanks. ticket as soon as im able to give them
anyway,
i actually should tell what i want to do first of all, so.
ive got this project going on, connecting real-life ambient stuff with electronic based interference, inspired by raster-noton label, various ambient releases and few other things.
what i want to do, is to catch few of my real-life ideas, in terms of ambiance, nature/city/people sounds. not dictation, except a single words, phrases maybe, definately no gigs, loud venues, etc. i think pmd with its options is sufficient for these tasks.
i dont realy mind the pristine quality of recording as most of them will be probably merged into bigger works, its not like im going to broi=adcast it live or whatnot. i like clear sound but i think 44.1 wav is enough.
as far as my researches went through various websites, i managed to listen to varius samples recorded, human voices mostly, and i liked the warm feeling of rode NT1A mic, alternatively AKG c900. others were disturbed with high hiss or general hum, and my knowledge isnt big enough to judge the mic quality from its data sheets available.
so i said to myself one of these two will be sufficient. but then the mono/stereo thing jumped in and i wasnt that sure of them anymore...
if theres an option of buying a stereo mic for my purposes i will strongly look into it, as i understand that stereo is an important thing in audio researches i want to do. i pressume these are mics with both xlr ends ?
i woulld appreciate any advices in mic field-lets assume i need a stereo mic, no pre-amps intended, general ambiance to record for a start.
i really need to read some books on the topic though..
