Great video mark. Cheers for this. Most of my recordings currently are ambient which are great fun, but sometimes you really want to try and focus on a specific sound whilst out in the field. I'm looking for some sort of shotgun mic for focusing in on sounds better and this may just be the one.
Thanks for the feedback, and I 100% agree with sometimes wanting or needing to focus on a specific sound source. I do not have a proper space to record the best sounds so my bedroom closet is what I use because the clothes and carpet absorb any sound reflection. I can say with this setup I probably could record a fly farting if I wanted to. Cheers my friend and happy creating.
It's a great little field recorder. Its small size will amaze you and Zoom juiced it up with some powerful preamps. Catch it on sale if you can, that's what I did to keep a little bread in my pocket.
Thank You Sir, I appreciate the feedback, trying to figure this out. This video does not show the full context but I came close to putting a knucklehead to sleep at that train station.
Hey, nice video. I've just bought Zoom F3 and looking for an inspiration) I am awaiting currently the SE8 stereo pair to record the acoustic guitar sound. How would you compare the XLR-based microphone versus the wireless mics , like DJI Mic 2 setup? Like, I think the XLR-based mics should give better sound, overall?
Thanks for taking a moment to provide feedback. The F3 paired with those SE8 mics should be a killer combo for Acoustic guitar. I have the Rode Wireless Pro mics and they are great for recording voices when attached to the person or with a lav, and I have recorded some sound effects with them but they are NOT even remotely close to what the sounds I can record with the F3 and my XLR mic. The pre-amps in the F3 are really good.
