| 描述： | Recording of fall field crickets (chirping/droning) on 10.6.2014 in the deep woods of East Texas used a Tascam DR680 recorder (Busman mod) with 2 Rode NT1A mics. Mics setup with 120°angle/21cm spacing, 6 feet above ground. Recorded 1am to 4am fairly quiet except for highway traffic 23 miles away. Light breeze from direction of highway, which brought in traffic noise some. Download is smoother sounding, less brittle. Technical: EQ'd down distant traffic noise and wind, most everything from 1500 Hz and lower. Rolled off everything Extra Story: The segment above is taken from a much longer, 2hour recording I made that night. It does not include a funny encounter I had during the evening with a critter common to the area. Thankfully, the whole adventure turned out kinda humorous. (After processing it, I may eventually upload it to freesound.) Anyhow, I'd been steadily recording for around 90 minutes when a weird sound in my headphones made me think something was going wrong with my mics. Another puzzling issue was that the sound became more distinct every time I clicked the flashlight off. Well, after 30 minutes of this happening, I'd grown rather frustrated (and worried). But, I was determined to solve the mystery. First, I checked the fur on the mics, which I used to block wind no luck, nothing in fur. Next, I tried switching my flashlight on each time I'd hear the sound. I was hoping to see something anything. After 3 failed attempts, I started thinking maybe the mics really did need some kind of repair. Dollarsigns started floating in my head. Well, as luck would have it, on that 4th attempt, the mystery was suddenly solved. Talk about relief. I clicked the light on to observe one tiny, crazy, curious bat, echolocating my microphones directly in front of them, at about 34 inches In the recording (not the one posted above), you can hear me chuckle when I realized the mics were just fine. It appeared I'd simply made a very good friend with a highly curious, flappywinged nightcritter. As for that sound I kept hearing? Well, it was just the little guy's wings flapping like a bewildered hummingbird, straight in front of the microphones I went home that night with a descent recording and a cool story. |
