Thanks, yep, not much difference as far as voice goes. However it does cut down on wind noise, which that alone makes it worth it's price, I think. Hopefully I can do a REAL field test of it within a month at a location or two :)
The atr-55 sounds interesting (I just looked up a few reviews), at about $20 more than this mic. Supposedly the best ones are to be found at recording studios...at $500 a pop! (Urk! Pass!)
Question: if it picks up noises from so far away, how can you know for sure that there was nobody around in the entire perimeter at the time the EVP was recorded? (just an innocent question- I don't mean that in a put-down sort of way)
'Cuz I say into the recorder 'that was just a kid', or whatever it was, when I hear it with my own ears. Cuts down on mistakes that way, especially since, at times, you can't listen to recordings to weeks later sometimes (or that happens to ME at least) and you're not going to remember everything that happened all that time later.
That stuff ends up on the 'digital cutting room floor' (as I call it :) ) and no one ends up hearing it, since it's not 'legit' (to the best of my knowledge).
So from what you're saying those other guys said that the digi-recorder only picks up stuff close by (though obviously is doesn't!) that means the source of some of your evps would have be pretty damn close to you during recording!! 8-o
I tell ya, you feel DAMN important carrying that around! Only one of the few small drawbacks is that when you're used to a digital recorder *only*, it's a bit heavy!
Yeah good point, I had someone jump to the conclusion that I was accusing them of faking an E. V. P. when I just made a comment saying it sounded like it was close to the mic. Huh? What, all E. V. P.s are 15 feet away? 20? That made no sense...
