<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">These are all great suggestions. I just wanted to also add that there’s a wonderful discussion of many of these practical issues in a chapter by Gregory Kohler and Keith Murphy,
“Audio-Video Technology for and in the Field: A Primer” in Sabina Perrino and Sonya Pritzker’s edited volume
<i>Research Methods in Linguistic Anthropology</i>; and if you are interested in some of the ethical and theoretical considerations surrounding use of and choice of recorders, I’ve got a piece in
<i>American Anthropologist</i> (2017, vol 119 issue 1) about this, titled “Anthropological Ethics and the Communicative Affordances of Audio-Video Recorders in Ethnographic Fieldwork: Transduction as Theory.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I think it depends on where you are recording and what you plan to do with the recording. I once had to record a crucial interview in a sports bar in Manhattan. If I had not used a recorder with two mics that
could be pointed at a 90-degree angle and directed at the interviewee, the ambient noise would have rendered the recording useless. And there are times when pointing the mics outwards at a 180-degree angle helps (but most cell phones are, I suspect, about
as useful here). So, the question for me is, what’s the soundscape?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
