I'm still researching for mics with the lowest self noise possible - at these low volumes that strikes me as critical. Also, resistance to temp changes....
<br><br>Yesterday I picked up a presonus digimax FS 8 mic preamp. As I have a rme-multiface which can do 96k the ADAT lightpipe support sold me, and long term the ability to put in sends struck me as useful. The reviews seemed good.
<br><br>I think what I'm going to do is put *all* my mics out there, record ~8 tracks with the above unit and my other pres, then listen to what works... fill up a few hard disks....<br><br>Last night we had a very light drizzle and recording this morning would have been PERFECT - no wind, that sort of dampened feeling you get from fog, yet not too damp, and birds, birds, everywhere, in 3 dimensions.....
<br><br>Maybe just my cheaper mics... I hate the idea of the damp killing 'em.<br><br>I am grateful for the ton of mail from everyone on this topic, but I have to run out today before I can absorb it all, I'll comment more this evening.
