Hi again.
I disagree!
I've a Zoom H6. Despite being perhaps the best portable, hand-held, 6 track
didgital recorder in the world, it's still nevertheless, noisy, in terms of
handling.
You simply cannot afford to record anything of quality whilst holding the
recorder!
This is why we are talking about external microphones after all, isn't it?
Very best wishes.
Andy.

While I agree with you its better to use external microphones where you
can I don't agree that good quality recordings can't be made with a
recorders' built-in microphone facilities and it very much depends on the
recording application or scenario involved.
I made an extremely good recording using the built-in microphones on my
Olympus DM4 recorder wrapped in a windsock and placed in my shirt pocket
whilst walking about the local supermarket making my purchases and I made
another whilst sitting in a nice cosyeatery.
If you're doing a Podcast from your desktop then built-in microphones may
well do the trick and I'mve used them in the past on my Zoom H1 which I
prefer to use for that kind of work unless I'm sitting in front of the
computer with the Blue Yeti, a Pop Filter and a Shockmount.

Hi Kelbie.
I have an Olympus DS 50 and have made rather nice recordings from my
farm, with all the animal sounds etc.
#It's pointless trying to record a good quality recording, using only an

I purchased a pair of BSM 90 Binaural microphones, which clip onto my
clothing. I think they were about £60, but the quality is fantastic, and
I've actually done a couple of out and about podcasts using this set-up
and I've been delighted with the quality.
So my advice is to look at a paire of binaural clip-on microphones.
Very best wishes.

Subject: Recording While Moving Around
All,
This is a rather basic question, but I haven't been able to find a
good solution. When using a digital recorder to record an environment,
sometimes I need to move around while doing so. Holding the recorder
in one hand is not always the best way to do it. Furthermore,
sometimes I need to move the recorder just slightly for various
reasons. When doing so with an internal microphone, the recorder will
catch the touch of my hand on the device; the pickup of the sound is
quite noticeable. Unfortunately the recorder i am using (Olympus DM-4)
has a tiny carrying case, but it can't readily be attached to anything
and it obscures all of the buttons.
Any suggestions anyone has would be much appreciated.
