Hi
I have a sony digital 8 camcorder at my disposal, and I'd like to record some locomotive sounds.
Now the sound is detailed and sharp, but there seems to be a lot of distortion of some kind, wierd phasing noise from the environment, the sound changes as I change the angle of the cam etc.
So, what should I do to get the best of such a microphone system?
Should I aim for proximity or should I record from a distance, should I turn the camera towards the locomotive or away from it? Should I use it in a bag or free?
All that any any other advice with this kind of microphone would be appreciated
thanks
