Guest Anonymous Posted April 25, 2003 Report Share Posted April 25, 2003 Hello all, If anyone has experience using an MD player to record/playback animal calls, I would love to hear about it. I'm still learning about the many features that are available for recorders and welcome any input. I am looking for a player that will record nature sounds using an external mic. It must have an external speaker jack for playback use and have the capability of recording cassettes and CD's. My primary interest is for birds/birding. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Leland Posted April 25, 2003 Report Share Posted April 25, 2003 Many have used MD for this. Try searching the minidisc.org site in case there are any references. You are limited only to the quality of your mic, which is not too difficult to manage. Look on the minidisc.org site for mic recommendations or contact the sound professionals for advice. The recording quality can be excellent. To transfer to CD or cassette, you can simply use an analog connect through a stereo setup or a computer. I am not a birdwatcher, but I have indeed made a few recordings of birds. I recorded bell birds in Australia as they have such an interesting call (sounds like a bell). I also hung a recorder in a tree with a mic and recorded ambient bird sounds for about an hour once. Got some great sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
