To pocket the recorder or not to pocket

I did buy a pair of used AT-853s which I will try soon.

You're going to be so happy with how much better this sounds - just make sure your mics are modded/powered appropriately for the volumes you're going to encounter.

+1.  Make sure they're modded so you don't end up distoring the hell out of your captures but you'll be many more times impressed with your captures using these mics than any internal in a shirt pocket.

Thanks for all of the advice.  My girlfriend made my bootlegging underwear for me to sneak in my recorder so I am sure she can come up with something clever, yet simple to hold the mics.

Friends don't let friends record their junk

Sorry, nothing more helpful to add that's not already been said ... but picturing someone making bootlegging underwear gave me a good so I had to contribute something. Carry on.

I'm sure we reached a consensus some time ago that no piece of underwear can be big enough to contain both recording equipment and the requisite enormous brass stealth-taper balls.
