Honestly the part at 9:02 sounds eerily similar to Rotten Skeletor - Aavebordelli. Not that I think you plagiarized a very old, very niche Finnish internet meme song but it just awoke some memories.

When you are recording outside, it really picks up that cracle from the gravel on the street. This really reminds me of these vomyme-filtering hearing protection that I've got. It's not like modern noise-cancelling headphones, but they are industrial-grade hearing protection with hearing assist, so you are supposed to be able to hear normal speech but not loud noise. If you crank the volume on them, the sound gets similairly weird, and they pick up the most miniscule noises, like the sound of rain outside, or the rustle of your pants. I work in a workshop with a huge, leaky compressed air system, and that makes those headphones completely unusable because all you hear is the cacaphony of a hundred leaky air seals.

I had one of these after begging my ma to get one after seeing it in the back of popular science. Had to mail off a check and everything. Also had the spy glasses as well. I ende up modifying it and made the reflector dish(?) bigger. It was surprisingly effective but from what I remember, very noisy. My ma used to have me "spy" on the neighbors bbq'ing and find out what music they were playing on the radio and then we'd blast the same station over the sound system. It was good harmless fun. At night it was loads of fun just scanning the woods to see what I could pick up. I was devastated when it broke during a move.

@idj20 2 месяца назад

Fun fact about my NHS digital hearing aids. I have normal mode for general every day stuff but I also have a second mode which I've named it as "turbo mode" and seriously, it's uncanny on how it can pick up sounds from literally miles away - and that's on top of continuous urban noise. It's hard to describe it and if only there is a way to connect it to a recording device to show you, but it is pretty much the nearest thing to a "spy microphone".

You can totally use a squirrel baffle for bird feeders to make a huge parabolic microphone. I made one for my AudioMoth setup but it works for other things too.

my first and only tape machine was a Dokorder - It had built in tape "reverb" (the playback head sent the signal back to the record head) I literally threw this deck into a dumpster because I needed to move. I Literally thought to myself, that I would regret this decision. I do ;) Thanks for all of these videos! I love how you dig so deeply into all these different ways to create music!

Such fun stuff, the two of you together reminds me of my early music days, when we'd manage to borrow a 4 track and maybe someone had a very basic drum machine and a pedal or two, some shockingly bad noise and distortion because you literally had no idea how to do it properly, together with appalling soldering skills, sticky tape and a "Realistic" brand microphone that only worked if you shouted - but what great times! Must not forget the "play" in "play music"!

I started off doing music with my buddy doing live jams with seriously low-level stuff - Synsonics drums, Poly 800, tape loops from answering machines, I think we had a single phaser pedal and a Radio Shack reverb unit. For anyone who hasn't tried this sort of jamming, give it a shot, it's a friggin blast and you come up with some truly wacky stuff!!

proper large-dish parabolic microphones actually sound amazing but this tiny one likely cuts off at 2 kHz. The size of the dish directly influences how much of the frequency range actually makes it to the microphone capsule

It's actually a small parabolic microphone. I once saw one at a flea market that was like half a meter in diameter. I didn't buy it though, because the reflector was missing but I could see the size from the frame where it used to be.

@Soundbrigade 2 месяца назад

I remember back in early 70's in a Swedish DIY electronics book was a microphone very much made like this one. In the near end was a like a kitchen funnel that concentrated the sound to the mike element facing the funnel a few inches away. But from the funnel and facing outwards were plastic tubes in various lengths, with the longest in the middle of the beam and then becoming successively shorter and shorter (spiralling). The idea was to have like a magnifier (the rounded funnel) but have it direction sensitive, by the tubes. I guess the whole arrangement must have been 2-3 feet in length. Maybe I could try to make a sort of drawing and presenting it on the LMNC DIY-forum.

@computer_toucher 2 месяца назад

And the 80's and early 90's (at least in Norway) we had the Select mail order catalogue - the "Whisper 2000" was heavily advertised in that one. Just a box with an ultra-sensitive (lol, sure) mic. It was the Wish / AliXpress thing of the times. Cheap imported Made In Hong Kong stuff, for those of you old enough to know what that meant at the time ;)

I would say some some more mixing of vocals to be lower in the mix...with some reverb/delay or lofi filtering is all it needs to be pure gold. It's just to good to sound so old and have the vocals sound raw
