Very nice and interesting how you approach these devices. The Soma Ether is on my wishlist now :). So far I already have the Lom Elektrosluch 3+ (kind of close mic stereo compared to the Priezor) and the Priezor. It's a lot of fun to discover all kind of sounds and looking forward to your next videos. Thanks!

@FreeToUseSounds 3 года назад

Glad you like the video and yes we have more coming up. If you can get the Ether the sounds will be different for sure. More variety to work with.

@yenra 3 года назад

Thanks for this; I ordered the Soma Ether as soon as I saw your Instagram post and it has been making its way across the country from Burbank, California (from Perfect Circuit) to Maryland and it should be here tomorrow. The mini-to-XLR adapter, I paused the video to order through your link; it will be here the day after (I'll explore with headphones until then). Also, I began to play with Cecilia 5. Now, back to the video.

@FreeToUseSounds 3 года назад

Hi Yenra! Oh yes they have a distributor in the US as well. So glad to hear that and have fun exploring the world of sounds. :)

@SirN0isemaker 3 года назад

Thanks a lot for another great video. I was eyeing the Ether for some time now and since the Lom Geophone is back in stock I was thinking about the Priezor as well. In my case, since I'm into more aggressive and dynamic sound and look for more sturdy and durable looking mics, the Ether is my pick. I also want to thank you for showcasing Cecilla 5. I recently found the software myself in a article naming other free to use programs such as amsynth and zynaddsubfx. I've also found out about Kenaxis which has been used by a lot of high-profile names in electroacoustic improvisation such as Keith Rowe.

@FreeToUseSounds 3 года назад

Hi Yves-Christian! Oh the Geofon was sold out in 2 minutes. 390 units! Crazy. :) If you're on the website from Ajax Studio check out Soundgrain as well. It's really cool. Thanks for the other plugins. I check them out right now.

Great video Marcel. I don’t have either of these but I do have a small telephone pickup I bought from Amazon. That’s my first emf “mic” and it’s so cool hearing the electromagnetic sounds. Little tip. If you can find a plasma ball, definitely put either of these up to it. The sounds I got from mine were insane.

Hi Matt! Thank you so much and also for the recommendation. Yes I remember recording a plasma ball inside the Science Museum in Singapore. That was awesome :)

My Ether is a lot of fun, planning to build something similar to the Preisor to add into another project (a Raspberry Pi based portable infrared camera, figured EMF mic for sound made sense for such an odd device) too for even more versatility/variaty

I use also a Pick-Up Coil from Jez Riley French. I like Ether v2, where you can change the length of pick-up the electro wave signal, but with Pick-Up Coil you can record a kind of different sounds in closer distances like I do with Ether v2.

@GiancarloBiondi 3 года назад

Hi Marcel! Ether is much more aggressive and I think it lends itself better to editing with programs like Cecilia 5 to get that kind of sound you created (perfect for science fiction movies!). I've used Cecilia 5 a few times and it has great potential considering it's free! "Who knows what music that guy is hearing in the car?" people must have thought seeing you so enthusiastic in the car 🤣

@FreeToUseSounds 3 года назад

Hi Giancarlo! Oh yes Cecilia is awesome and yesterday the founder said on the Facebook page its already 30 years old what is amazing.

@Eldorado1239 2 года назад

Great video! Btw, are you the only source of information about EM recording on the entire internet? So hard to find anything other than paranormal activity. And why aren't there dozens of various viable recorders available instead of like... two? Strange. Also, Cecilia looks very interesting and useful - and it's FOSS too. Again, never heard of it from anyone else. Thank you for sharing these gems! P.S.: _Sadly, like you say, Lom's completely sold out. But I found out they are based "nextdoor" in Slovakia (I'm from the Czech Republic), so maybe I could visit them each day and ask "do you have one now? and now?" until they make some...! ( jk, don't worry :D )_

@FreeToUseSounds 2 года назад

Thank you and yes there isn't much out there. But one bigger music RU-vidr made a video about music production with electromagnetic fields. I think you can find it. He used also a LOM product. Correct Jonas is very close. :)

@steveliddle8417 Год назад

I've been using AFILS receivers as EMF pickups. They are interesting because they are self powered, have level controls, high pass filters and a figure 8 pickup pattern. Ampetronic CMR3 and ILR3. Usually used for testing hearing loop Systems but work great as EMF pickups too.

@FreeToUseSounds Год назад

This is interesting. I will look into it! So you just record the output 3.5 to the XLR port of a field recorder?

@FreeToUseSounds Год назад

Edit: Just checked and it comes already with an XLR cable. Maybe I can find one here.

@steveliddle8417 Год назад

And the CMR3 doesn't have a level control, it's meant to be used as a calibrated source for measurement of induction loop systems. The ILR3 is probably the more flexible device but you'd have to make a 3.5mm to XLR cable that only feeds the output to pin 2 and ground otherwise it won't work with a differential (XLR) input. 3.5mm to 3.5mm TRS is fine though - perfect companion to the H1n.

@austinmillerae 7 месяцев назад

I experience a whole lot of noise when I'm recording EMF sounds (I have a DIY priezor). I'm curious if this is just something I should expect, or if there's a way to do noise reduction without degrading my intended signal too much. Marcel, would you, or anyone here in the comments, have any thoughts?

@FreeToUseSounds 7 месяцев назад

Hi Austin. Sometimes when the signal isn't strong enough I get noise in the higher frequency with the Ether but not with the other devices I use. So, I would try getting a stronger EMF signal. Its really up the device.

Soma simply behaves like a radio receiver with a tuner knob and volume control - by touching the antenna you are simply 'retuning' it. You could get the same result removing the antenna from you AM/FM radio and plugging that into your recorder.

Seems like the Ether is more amplified and brings out more nuance from electronics. Whereas the Priezor you have something cleaner and more finicky about source direction. I own an Ether and love it. Sounds incredible on toothbrush chargers and our foot massager. Pro tip for everyone. Record all this stuff at 96khz or more. Then pitch it down and you'll still hear tons of detail. ALIEN WORLDS YO!
