Hello again,
I´m done with recording the birds and everything went fine....Found the bird site and ended up dragging a 70 meter long multicable out in to the field. Not precicely the lightweight solution I have asked you guys for advise about, but it worked fine for this project since against all odds the birds had decided to land next to a highway!! So, not the hiking experience I had planned for.
Got 4 h of recording with the TetraMic and 5 h of 5.1 surround with DPA mobile Surround mic. So for the post production I´m now glad that I used pen and paper to note down what happened when! Thanks for this obvious and easy solution.
I´d like to contribute by telling that I can realy recomend using DPA´s mobile surround microphone and the TetraMic, for fast setup and good sounding ambient recordings.
On the matter of recording devices I´d like to say that allthough the Edirol R-44 showed to be a realy good companion in the field, realy easy to operate, 2600mAh NiMH gave 3 h of continious recording time (with 4 x 48 V phantom), it will not be my first choise when recording this type of quiet sounds in the future. For this I find the preamps way to noisy, even when leaving both level and gain in position of 12 o´clock. The Sounddevice 788T worked like a charm, and when I get rich I will buy one.
ps.
What would be the recomended tool for post removing of hiss noise.
