I recommend buying a PZM microphone from radio shack and just using either your computer or a tape deck to record the sound. suspend the mic out the window facing the train station and attach the wind-breaking foam decal to the mic to reduce the rumble of wind on the mic. These mics are about $59 and pretty unbeatable pricewise for ambient field recordings. solenoid On Mon, 27 Sep 1999, Shimone Samuel wrote: > Actually, lately I have been considering the possibility of making a feeble > attempt at recording some of this type of ambience (I live across the street from > a train station) and I was wondering if anyone on the list is familiar with > equipment or setup for doing this.
