Animal Sound Recordings



Birds / Vögel

These recordings have been made using SENNHEISER microphones K3/ME80, ME88, K6/ME62,64,66, MKH60 or MKH800 (sometimes in conjunction with a parabolic reflector) connected to either a SONY DAT recorder TCD-D3, a SONY Mini DV Handycam TRV 7E, Marantz PMD 671, TASCAM HD-P2 or M-Audio MicroTrack 2496. Spectrograms were created in Avisoft-SASLab Pro.

See the page on Audio Compression Effects why I prefer recording techniques and data formats without lossy compression (instead of MiniDisk or MP3).
