I bought my mics from CoreSound (http://www.core-sound.com//mics.html) and have been very pleased. I'm using them with my Sony MiniDisc (model number escapes me) and they work great. I highly recommend the windscreens for an extra $10 if you're going to do any outdoor recordings or walking around while recording. Wind static can easily ruin your recording. I've used my mics to record everything from live music to random wanderings through SF and have just sent them off with a friend to Bali, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. If anyone is interested I'd love to trade field recordings found sounds. Especially interested in public transportation (trains, subways) and street musicians as well as other random wanderings through cities. - c At 08:28 PM 10/5/99 -0400, Superfuzz wrote: >----- Original Message ----- >From: Howard Shih <xxxxxx@xxxxxxx.xxx> >To: <xxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx> >Sent: Tuesday, October 05, 1999 6:32 PM >Subject: (idm) MiniDisc Recommendations? > > >> I'm looking to get a MiniDisc recorder to do field recordings/found sound >> type of things and was wondering which brand to get.
