Gibbons calling in the jungle - Borneo rainforest sounds

  • It's 5am deep in the Borneo rainforest. Cicadas, crickets and katydids are winding down their night calls but birds haven't started to sing just yet. Gibbons climb to the top of trees and start calling to let other troops know they're around. Birds and daytime insects slowly wake up and start calling too.
    Recorded in Borneo's rainforest with Sony PCM D10, Lom MikroUsi micropohones and BubbleBee Windbubbles. I left the drop rig out in the jungle for 24 hours so I could capture a full day-night cycle. Enjoying these videos? Feel free to support me by:

    Mesmerizing! what an active and wonderful rainforest sound. Hearing the
    forest sound always brings back nostalgic memories of childhood. Indeed, these primal
    sounds (gibbon calls, and hornbills) have graced the rainforest for millennia, we mustn't let it go
    silent within our generation.

    Amazing recording. Listen to all of your stuff while I work. As a bird guy, my favorite part might happen at the start with the utterly bizarre "song" of the Helmeted Hornbill. It starts with low single notes start at 00:30, goes into double notes at around 00:50, and slowly builds up to a crescendo of evil laughter at 01:20. Thank you for this recording.

      Jonas at Lom uses Primo EM258 capsules for MikroUsis and custom circuitry in the Pro variant. I've used the EM172 capsules in Clippy mics and I quite like them, the only downside being that they don't reach as high in the frequency spectrum.

    this is pure magic!! is the whole thing recorded with Sony PCM D10?

    • @GeorgeVlad
      @GeorgeVlad  4 года назад +2

      Yes it is, but not with the on-board mics. Those would have sounded a bit thin and the stereo image would have been quite narrow.

    • @mariadecat
      @mariadecat 4 года назад +1

      thanks! i’m thinking about whether to get the Sony PCM-D100 along with microUši microphones or the Sound Devices MixPre II field recorder. would you recommend going for the Sound Devices recorder since it’s not much more expensive than the Sony? it also seems like it is more versatile and has better headphone amps? i’m interested in recording nature and street ambience but have no experience in field recording so i’m really confused which recorder to get. i just want a very clear and crisp sound.

    • @GeorgeVlad
      @GeorgeVlad  4 года назад +1

      @@mariadecat You can get excellent results with either. The D100 will be easier to learn how to use and more portable, while the Mixpre may require a bit more time investment and isn't as easy to carry. Both have their uses though. For a beginner I would recommend the D100 and MikroUsi combo, with a view to getting a bigger recorder later.

    • @mariadecat
      @mariadecat 4 года назад

      George Vlad thank you for your advice! do you know if PCM D-100 can handle 250 ohm headphones? and do you recon the microUši microphones would work well with MixPre II too or would you recommend getting something else?

    • @GeorgeVlad
      @GeorgeVlad  4 года назад

      @@mariadecat Not sure about the headphone preamp on the D100. It's worth contacting Sony about it. As for the MikroUsis, they should work on the Mixpre II through the 3.5mm connection. I would get the Pro version that uses phantom power in that case though.

    Hello! When you record on a Sony voice recorder, what level of sensitivity do you set on it? Sorry, I'm writing through a translator, thanks for the answer. I have a sony a 10, I want to understand where the noises that are not needed from the device will start.

      The recording levels depend on too many factors to be able to offer a simple answer. The best way to learn is by doing it over and over again. check out this video for more info: ruclips.net/video/XX6NqUkQvfk/видео.html
