Field Recording, H1N and ...
Hello folks. I just got myself a new Zoom H1N and I am pretty excited to start a field recording project.
I used to do a lot of field recording in the past but back then I only used my phone mic (yup, the sound suck!). Now that I have this stereo mic I can do a hell lot more stuff. Any tips for field recording and things that I need to prepare.
I noticed that H1N is very sensitive to wind. Any tip for it. What kind of filter should I used? foam filter or a furry filter. I am also a bit poor right now to bought one.. Is there any DIY pop filter project that I can used to block the plosive and wind without having to waste more money and waiting for few days for the package to arrive while being on outdoor recording stuff. Just anything that can improve it.
Any tips on setting of the audio recorder (low cut, input setting etc) and how to position these mic to the sound source for better recording.
Any comment and tips on audio recording (especially related to H1N) will be appreciated. Anything related to field recording, if you have it I want to read about it. I am really new at this.

I've been meaning to sew up a "monkey fur" hat for my Zoom field recorder. It's the long hairy shit you can find at craft or fabric stores (not actual monkey fur, which would have terrible acoustic properties).

I would suggest getting a shotgun mic as well.. y'know for very focused recording of things not nearby.
Personally most of the field recording I've done lately is with my smart phone because it's what I have on me at all times. I tend to record the sounds of electronics or machinery making interesting rhythmic sounds.
Other things I've been interested in trying at placing the two mics of a stereo recording very far apart and then subtracting one channel from the other.
Be sure to post a link to something you record when you get a chance.

Record when it's not windy outside. And if you can't do that, try to place your recording gear where the wind doesn't pick it up as much
Also, don't be afraid to start screaming in the background, just to spice things up a bit

I got a Guttmann fur microphone windshield for my LS-P1, it fits snugly and does a fantastic job of cutting out wind and bluster.
Was about xc2xa320 and amazon seems to be a major outlet for them but you can buy them elsewhere.

Oh! John Lydon is my favorite Muppet!
I'll have to buy one in orange + some googly eyes for my own H1n, as it's desperately needed for outdoor recording.

I see I'm too late here, but those wind socks do wonders for zoom recorders.
However, if you are going to process your field recordings, I've found that sometimes the wind adds a nice layer of harsh texture. Totally depends on what you're going for though.
