Hi Hamit.
this Road AT-8022, is it an Xlr or an USB mic.
I ask because on Accessible Youtube a guy was doing rather nice outdoor
recordings in a city in America, and I've heard Neil say that he has the
same mic, though I rather think he has a USB type.
If I'm correct and you can get both, then my problems are over for the
AT-8022 as I can record bird calls and also indoor quire or my local band
in my pub.
Also, is the NT1 an XLR or USB?
I ask because I like your setup of having 2 factory sets for my band and
quire, though, I don't know how good it is for out of doors.
Very best wishes.
I simply don't have information to be confident in spending that amount of
cash.
Andy.

Ah then yeah depending on how much you can spend the NT1 or older and
crisper NT1-A are a no go as you'd need 2 and you'd need to link them
together on either zoom. I could tell you how and infact since then I'll
recommend my AT-8022 since it is 1 mic with 2 modded AT-4021 capsels in it
it'll show up as 2 seperate mics. So what you do is connect the left XLR
into either the front left or right plug on the H6. The right 1 goes in
the XLR towards the back of therecorder. So the XLR closer to the card
reader if you wana use the left side. Closer to the lever for the menus if
the right. Now you have to use the buttons that are numbered 1 threw 4. If
you use the left side of the recorder you hold down the button 1 which is
to the right of the R button. So it's the third button on the recorder.
Whilst doing this press the 1 to it's right. Now you have linked them in
stereo. Have someone to see? Because I recommend doing all this work so
you use the XLRs and phantum power to get the most of the 8022.

Hi all.
Getting more confused as the day goes on.
The Road NT1 is a no-no as I normally listen to sounds in sterio - it's
just the way I am. Perhaps the NT1 is a fantastic Podcast microphone, but
just about everything that I'm keen on recording requires a degree of
width,
I'm totally not interested in recording a single bird, though I can see
the attraction if making a collection of birds inone country or area.
Know, for a down chorus I'd be looking for a sterio outdoor microphone
with a wide spread.
For example, here is a sample of my own International Dawn Chorus,
recorded at my farm on the 3 May, using the Zoom H6 with the clip on
right angle microphone.
Can you guess what is wrong with my recording?
https://www.sendspace.com/file/ox1jos
I have now purchased the newer Zoom F8n and wish a XLR sterio Microphone
with a very good Dead Cat because my place is about 300 feet above the
River Clyde, so is rather windy. - What do they use in Texas???
Hamit suggests that if the Nt1 is not for me, then perhaps I should look
at the NT4. So I looked it up in Accessable Youtube .
It's about £600 and is a USB microphone, which I think would make it a
good podcasting microphone, for a home studio computer.
So I'm at a bit of a loss at the moment and need to give it a lote more
consideration.
Perhaps I can find out what I'm looking for using the link: How to Record
Bird Songs and Calls - Nature Recording | Audubon, provided earlier today
by Gena.
Very best wishes.
Andy.

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.
Regards,

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.
