However, field recording also includes artificial environments where people gather, such as towns, train stations, and airports. Here, &#8220;field recording&#8221; refers to any recording made outside a fully controlled studio environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Field recordings capture the echoes of spaces and the passage of time through microphones. Listening to these recordings reminds us that we live among a multitude of sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-src=\"https:\/\/barbegenerativediary.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/getting-started-with-field-recording-02.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-301 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/barbegenerativediary.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/getting-started-with-field-recording-02.webp 1024w, https:\/\/barbegenerativediary.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/getting-started-with-field-recording-02-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/barbegenerativediary.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/getting-started-with-field-recording-02-768x432.webp 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px;

However, I haven&#8217;t seen many people recording sound in the same way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I believe the appeal of recording lies in its ambiguity. Typically, we obtain about 80% of our perceptual information from sight and around 10% from hearing. Recordings aren&#8217;t as clear as photographs, but their unique ambiguity allows us to experience new sensations that change over time and connect them to our own experiences and memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-src=\"https:\/\/barbegenerativediary.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/getting-started-with-field-recording-01.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-302 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/barbegenerativediary.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/getting-started-with-field-recording-01.webp 1024w, https:\/\/barbegenerativediary.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/getting-started-with-field-recording-01-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/barbegenerativediary.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/getting-started-with-field-recording-01-768x432.webp 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/576;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-get-started-with-field-recording-03\">Get started with field recording.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A quick way to experience field recording is to use a recording function application (voice memo) on your smartphone. When recorded through a microphone, the sound of the surroundings is recorded evenly, giving a different impression than what we normally hear with our ears. This is because our ears are very sophisticated and have a natural mechanism to focus our hearing on an object in order to hear the sound we want to hear. This is the so-called cocktail party effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we pass a microphone, this effect is lost and everything is recorded uniformly. On playback, our ears hear more sounds than they would hear live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-get-started-with-field-recording-04\">Gear Needed for Field Recording<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>General Field Recording Equipment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Recorder (to record sound)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Microphone (to collect sound)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Headphones (for monitoring)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cables (to connect the microphone to the recorder)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Microphone stand<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wind protector (to reduce microphone noise caused by wind)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Although high-quality recording requires a certain amount of equipment, beginners can start field recording with a handheld recorder, which integrates a microphone and recorder.
