Art Audio Digital Edition Third
Recording audio on location is a great way to document the essence of many urban spaces, add life to podcasts, and improve the quality of video recordings. Modern audio field recording gear is much cheaper, smaller and less obtrusive thanbefore. This is an introduction on how to get good sound outdoors.
Recorder and Microphone Types
For urban field recording, a good choice is a small field recorder using memory cards of the same type as used in digital cameras. Something like a Zoom H2 is a good combination of stereo microphone and recorder all in one that fits in the palm of your hand. This gives you more than 2 hours recording time on a 2GB SD card. Similar field recorders use Compact Flash cards.
Get closer to the Sound Source!
The first rule of audio field recording is get close to the subject, particularly if it is dialogue. To record speech the microphone should really be within a couple of metres of the speaker. Any further and the speech will become muddied by ambient noise; and particularly indoors, reflections off hard surfaces can make the speech indistinct if the microphone is much further way from the subject than the nearest wall.
