i’ve just been on a great workshop with sound recordist Chris Watson. A group of about twenty people from a wide spread of backgrounds, spent time with chris alongside the banks of the river thames. we explored the different sound habitats, natural and man made, whilst chris shared his enthusiasm and experience with us. We then spent an afternoon at the Museum of Garden History listening to recordings and to chris talk about his approach to recording and sound.
the only downside to the workshop is in the wallet dept, as i can’t help myself buying some better recording kit. i’ve decided its time to upgrade from my edirol r-1, which has been on the blink recently. a few people were recommending the fostex fr2 LE and i was wondering if anyone has any experience of using it ?
everyone was drooling over chris’s nagra aries p-II+ recorder ………. just waiting for that windfall 😉
i’m also looking at getting a good pair of stereo omnis. a few people recommended microphone madness for good but cheap mics, made with the same capsules as sennheiser.
big thanks to chris watson and chris potts
