Hi All I am currently in the process of building the "flower pot mic" described in the "oldbird" website.
2 questions : - any tip about which preamp I should use? (does everyone uses one?). The old bird website only mention the Rolls MP13 preamp ($70 on Amazon.com), but I noticed others available for a much lower price ($20). - Does everyone here does their own recording using a laptop, as suggested in the oldbird? Does anyone use a digital recorder, and later transfer their files on their computer for further analysis? Any comment or advice would be greatly appreciated!
