To follow on from the advice given yesterday by the Backing Track Vocal Recording Guru on microphones and their settings for outside wilderness recordings.

We established in the last blog that the setting on microphones are very important for capturing a quality recording on all formats so how do you know what the right settings are.

This is where the Guru comes in, let him know your recording enviroment what equipment you have available and a time scale if there is one and the Guru will give an opinion on the best way to achieve the best result.

Wilderness Recording - "Info@The Backing Track Vocal Recording Guru"

It's been a while since my last entry on this blog but now I have had a request to make a few comments about the technique of recording in the wilderness.

By the wilderness I will presume to be outside in the open air with many different environments to contend with.

I will always revert to the basic requirement for good recording and that will be that the quality and type of microphone needed to capture the true sound at a volume that can be stored on a medium so that playback will be as close to the original as possible.

Multiple settings on microphones would be advisable in most instantses so that all around sound plus hyper directional can be achieved at the flick of a switch.

In my next plog on the subject I will delve deeper in microphone identification.
