jyellen Posted October 16, 2001 Share Posted October 16, 2001 I am Sound Technology Degree Student who is currently writing a dissertation on "The Effects of Portable Rerecording Technologies on the Recording Industry." I have posted this topic in order to request a little assistance in finding engineers who have used this technology to "record where no man/women has recorded before." An example of the type of person I am looking for is Lynn Fuston. He travelled to Samoa (an island in the South Pacific) to do a multi-track recording of a Samoan children's choir. He had to bring (and carry) basically everything with him, except 110V power. Pretty crazy, huh? I would be extremely grateful for any info/connections you might be able to pass on.

DC Posted October 16, 2001 Share Posted October 16, 2001 I recorded 'Sounds of the Men's Room' for my girl at one time. I used a portable dat with battery pack and a stereo lavalier mic clipped to my shirt pocket. -David http://www.garageband.com/artist/MichaelangelosMuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintagevibe Posted October 16, 2001 Share Posted October 16, 2001 I once used a high quality miniature Sony cassette recorder (before protable DAT or Minidisk was available) to record roaches for a movie. I dropped a small stereo mic into a barrel of research roaches to record them russleing around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blas Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 Okay man, this ain't the jungle but it was HOT. I one time had to finish a project in the back of my '66 Mustang (no joke). I did a session the night before on location and was using borrowed gear which had to be back the next night before 6 pm. I was a college kid (this was in the early '70's mind you) working at a job that the boss was cool enough to let me run power cords out to the back parking lot to my car. All this so I could finish this cats mixdown (doing 4 track back then, to the duce). The mix was being sent to his brother-in-law who happened to be one of the guys who did the original "Soul Man".....Sam & Dave. Anyway, nothing happened for the artist, but it was a wacked out experience for me to talk about nearly 30 years later! I now just wish I had a picture showing the machines and mixer all in the fastback, with orange power cords hangin' out the window. Come to think about it, I do see the picture! Good luck.

jgourd Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 For a long time I was into live binaural recording. Although not multi-track, here is a good story: The mics I used were of my own design as you couldn't get anything like the Core Sound units that are around today. I was interested in recording surf. Since the mics were in my ear canals I had to remain still for the duration of the recording and ignore induhviduals asking me dumb questions. The longest time I spent standing and "staring out to sea" to get a good recording was 45 minutes. That was hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offramp Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 I've used a DAT machine and two AKG 414's to capture audio elements for an NPR piece. I pulled my Jetta alongside a highway intersection, clamped one 414 on the front part of my roof-mounted bike rack, the other on the back end of the rack, and ran about 5 minutes of tape. I've also used a similar setup to record the inside of the car as it was being driven to use as sound effect for a drama being broadcast on a local radio-reading service for the blind. I taped the script to the steering wheel, started the DAT machine, and drove up and down a small runway outside of some company building, reading the script and timing my shifts and turns. I've upped my standards; now, up yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
