[Linganth] Linganth Digest, Vol 117, Issue 9

I'm an android phone owner. But, I record using an ipad and the Shure mv88 (it works with iphones too). It's been a gem during field session recordings. I think there's a newer version out now, Shure mv88+ . It's has a cardioid pattern pick up.

I also like the Shure MOTIV software that you can download for instant play back /editing.

You might also check out the Zoom IQ6. It's a newer mic for iphones/ipads and also has good reviews.

  [EXTERNAL]

I'd like to second Michele's original question (great to "see" you here Michele!) regarding a good external mic to use with an iphone. I have been just using the internal mic on my iphone 13 but am wondering if I should up my game with an external mic.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I'd be interested in any recommendations of specific external mics that people have found to be useful, and I am particularly interested in an external mic to use for interviewing (so probably cardiocardiid or hyper-cardioid or even a lav mic could work). To the question of environment, many of the interviews will be outside where wind can be a problem (so preferable if it comes with a windscreen, but I can rig something up if the mic is good enough).
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks,
greg

Hi all,
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 Research Methods in Linguistic Anthropology; 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 American Anthropologist (2017, vol 119 issue 1) about this, titled ?Anthropological Ethics and the Communicative Affordances of Audio-Video Recorders in Ethnographic Fieldwork: Transduction as Theory.?
Take care,
Steve

Hi all,

I second the backup recorder idea. I?ve had a few times when my backup recorder has saved me from that particularly horrible self-flogging grief after irretrievable loss of precious words (one time is all it took).

Best,

Elizabeth

I just wanted to chime in and say I always have a second backup device (cheap but effective Olympus recorder) which has saved me since there are interruptions you can't always account for (for instance, when you get a public safety alert on your phone).
Best,
Joyhanna

Friends,
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?
Best to all,
Charles

Hi all,

I was wondering about what devices people are currently using or can recommend for audio and video recording. I have seen earlier discussions of this, but technology changes so fast. I may be recording live political speeches given outdoors. My preference is for easy to use, lightweight, and small. ( In fact, if there were a way to optimize my iPhone 13, that would almost be preferable, but I can imagine that is not quite enough?)

Thank you!
