Podcastage. Don't know how much he knows on his own as all he does is
read the speks sheet. How ever he does know his math. Because he tells
you what angle he's facing the mic at. Though and I might mention it in
the comments I'd wish he would say what part of the mic that means. For
instance. When he says now I'm 90 degrees of the capsel say this means
for those that can't see I'm practically talking into the handle.
Something like that. I can't emagin I'm the only totally blind person
that watches him. Yes he is funny. He makes up silly songs to sing into
the mics too.

Hello Hamit,
Here’s a review of a Lewitt which he suggests is in competition with the
AT2035. I am not sure about his expertise as he does not go into so much detail
as The Booth Junky. But these videos are far more entertaining.

Who is this guy that dances around the mics?

Hello John,
Fare point, as Andrew had done some research and considered that a shotgun
might be the solution I thought he was wanting to focus upon one bird or those
birds in a small area. As I pointed out the pickup area is shown as a heart
shape. The number of channels does not express the polar pattern. If Andrew
wants to record a wide stage then that is an omnidirectional microphone he
requires. Not a stereo unless it is omnidirectional. Of course, if andrew wants
that binaural affect then again it is something else. Thus there are plenty of
options for Andy and many choices and it is for him to decide what the end
result is that he requires. i.e. What size stage does Andy want?
There is a youtube reviewer of microphones who dances around the microphones so
you can hear the extent of the pattern.

I had a look at the link. Most bird watchers want to focus-record an individual
bird song sometimes out of many background songs. A dawn Chorus is all the
birds in the area - not just a single bird. As Hamit suggests a stereo mike
might be more likely to do this successfully.
PS: last time I heard Andy was living in rural Scotland, so maybe not a big
garden, but a lot of habitat. I know birds are territorial, but they tend to
sing from adjoining gardens to, and I'm sure Andy isn't so possessive he only
wants the birds singing in just his garden alone. You'll find a dawn chorus is
just as big weather heard from a small garden or an estate for that very
reason. 😉

Hello John,
They don’t cut out sharply it’s usually shown as a heart shape tapering down to
the point. Obviously, Andy has done some research and his post caused me to do
so as I use a shotgun in the booth. Andy did not want ambient sound. He wanted
to record bird song from his garden. Unless he lives in a huge estate it is not
going to be that wide of a field. I found that bird watchers use a shotgun mic
although this is with a camera. Even professional sound recordist uses a
shotgun. See this:

From what I've read a shot-gun mike is so directional that even being
off-target a little will result in poor quality sound. I doubt it would be the
best for ambient recordings.

Hello Andy,
It is down to you and how much you want to spend. I follow the Booth Junky who
uses a shotgun microphone a lot. He uses the Sennheiser MKH-416. I haven’t been
able to afford one of those but I do have the MKH-166 which I purchased used
from eBay. I absolutely love it and is my mic of choice. I think that would
really do the job.

Hi all.
I've got both the Zoom H6 and the F8n, but the only microphones I have are the
2 clip on ones that I origionally got with the H6.
I'm wanting to record the Dawn Chorus in my garden but don't have a clue as to
which microphone , or best type, to buy and where to buy it.
I think I need a directional Shot-gun microphone with a large Dead-Cat
windscreen, and also about 3 meters of cable with the appropriate XLR plugs.
Can anyone please give me some advice.
Also, My Zoom H6 is playing up. I think I've changed an inportant option
within the menues. I tried recording bird calls and the recording was
extremely poor. Is there perhaps a function within the H6 that Re-sets the
device back to factory settings.
I hope you are all okay and enjoying this period of noise pelution silence to
get very nice recordings. If so I'd love to here some samples.
Very best wishes and please take care of yourselves.
Andy Logue from Scotland.
