	Field recording - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A "field recording" is the actual recording that is produced by the documenter/artist.
		Field recordings are usually recorded on portable devices which utilize DAT (Digital Audio Tape) or completely digital (hard disk/Flash) technology, to reproduce an exact audio replica, or soundscape.
		Field recording was originally a way to document oral presentations and ethnomusicology projects (pioneered by Charles Seeger and John Lomax), but recently it has been expanded to become avant-garde roots for ambient and experimental music.

		Recordings of their voices provide important baseline data for research in the fields of avian systematics, behavior, and bioacoustics, and are essential to conservation initiatives as training and playback tools for surveys and censuses.
		For analog recorders the signal-to-noise ratio of the recorded sound is maximized with respect to inherent noise produced by the tape and components of the recorder itself.
		For digital recorders, recording at an optimal level on tape ensures that signals are recorded at or near the maximum bit rate (16-bit in modern 16-bit digital recorders).

	Field Recording / Sound Art documenting the world around us through sound.
		This part of my site focuses on field recordings which can be released on their own or edited into sound art collages, soundscapes, processed and morphed into alien worlds, or whatever your creative mind comes up with.
		The point of this kind of field recording (as I see it) is to capture an audio snapshot of what's going on around us in a way that tells a story to the listener (and the recording doesn't have to be made outside in a field either).
		Recorded with my right side facing the truck and to my left side is a walled in walkway where the reflected sound bounces around.

		Stricly speaking, a "field recording" is defined as any recording made outside of the studio, so it should come as little surprise that they often feature sounds from the outside world.
		Charles Seeger (father of Pete) and John Lomax (father of Alan) are widely regarded as the grandfathers of the field recording.
		Field recordings have the unique capacity to instantly transport the listener to an utterly foreign environment.

		He was equipped with the same recording rig as me. His untrained ears would not yield the best judgement in terms of proper recording, but in this environment, a back up recording was a good idea.
		The DAT recorders, garbage bags and all, then had to be placed into a backpack so the noise of rain and wind-whipped plastic didn't make it onto the recording.
		Recording wind was the first thing on the checklist and I came prepared.

		F7 Sound and Vision's Michael Oster has been recording the sounds around him since the 1970s, beginning on cassette and continuing all the way up to include 24 bit portable laptop based systems....
		Understand that a street scene recorded with a microcassette will sound vastly different than the same thing recorded with a 24 bit laptop setup.
		But the microcassette recording will have a lo-fi"character" that makes it a very usable option down the road.

		I do more recording outside a studio than in it, whether I'm micing a 200-ton steam locomotive, a sea turtle laying eggs on the Caribbean coast or recording live music.
		While the train project is a pretty unusual gig, it shares issues common to many other field recording projects.
		Field recording can be broken down into three steps: advance work, the field session itself and finally, post-production/editing.

		Westerkamp is famous not only for her work as a composer, but also as a writer; see for example her famous essay linking acoustic ecology's relevance to field recording (and soundscape compositional) practice — not an uncontroversial position; composer and theoretician Michael Rüsenberg of RealAmbient.de has amiably argued the other side.
		David Dunn has pioneered amazing field recording techniques (such as recording insects inside trees by fixing contact microphones to hollow nails!), and when you can find it has excellent DIY advice for doing the same.
		The venerable Cornell Lab or Orinthology offers excellent field technique advice and host a fantastic library of recordings (but was on the wrong side of the minidisc 'question' for years in my opinion).

	Field Recording Equipment Information
		For recording equipment, four basic options are available: Reel-to-reel analog tape recorders, "standard" cassette recorders (The "micro" cassette recorders are generally too poor in quality to be seriously considered), DAT recorders using DAT tape, and mini-disk (MD) recorders.
		Each of these types of recorders has its own advantages and disadvantages, and I provide several sources for discussions of these characteristics in the equipment choices section.
		Here are several Sites that have discussions of the different recording options, various sources of information on recording equipment and field recording techniques, and useful information for learning about and deciding on equipment.

		Although the option to record uncompressed, CD quality audio is a boon for field recordists, the fact that these recordings must exist initially in a proprietary and heavily copy protected file format (.omg or.oma) if you digitally transfer them to PC is extremely annoying.
		Solid state recording technology is one of the best digital audio field recording options currently available, and may well represent the future of field recording in general.
		Mono mics record a single channel of audio, stereo mics record slightly different signals to each channel of a recording, creating a stereo effect when used with a stereo field recorder.

	Field Recording in the Digital Age :: Vermont Folklife Center Middlebury VT
		Although standard analog audiocassette tape continues to be a viable medium for recording interviews, there are many advantages to using digital audio recording equipment.
		Two factors that have the greatest impact on the quality of a digital audio recording are the bit depth and sampling rate of the digital audio file.
		However, for the sake of creating recordings that balance quality with file size, we recommend creating files that are 16 bit, with a sampling rate of 44.1kHz in mono.

		I brought the T10 super-portable player with a built in clip (no silly cords or necklaces), which is great for this kind of recording (15+ hours), and it is extraordinarily efficient in energy use (48 hours of play on a single AA battery).
		curzon had better quality recording perhaps because it is one with larger memory and hence factory bit-rate setting higher.
		I’m pretty impressed with the quality of the recording Curzon got out of this thing and been looking for something similar (for an upcoming trip, incidentally), so I think I think I might be spending my latest check from my neo-conservative paymasters on one of these.
