Field Recording On A Budget
We get asked frequently what the best budget set up is for an aspiring field recordist. In this video, we take you around Istanbul, Turkey to show what budget sound gear is capable of! We kept the equipment lightweight (can fit in your pocket) and inexpensive. Even with this budget setup, we were able to capture the rich sounds of the bustling city, from the calls of street vendors to the haunting sounds of the call to prayer echoing through the narrow streets. This goes to show that with the right equipment and a keen ear, there are endless sound recording opportunities waiting to be captured, even on a budget. Whether you’re in a busy urban environment or out in nature, there are always unique and interesting sound recording opportunities waiting to be discovered.
Recording sounds with binaural microphones is a perfect way to be discreet and capture stereo ambience. Paired with a handy Zoom H1n allows for an easy setup and can be used as a microphone alone. So, come with us as we explore Istanbul and listen to this bustling city like you’ve never heard it before! We’ll take a walk through the cobblestone streets, passing by the lively bazaars and sipping on traditional Turkish tea. As we navigate through the city, the binaural microphones will distinctly capture the rich and vibrant sounds of Istanbul, from the calls of street vendors to the volta industrial sound of the bustling city. With the Zoom H1n, every detail of the audio will be faithfully recorded, allowing you to experience the authentic ambience of Istanbul from the comfort of your own home.
