Hallo again
Do you have any recommendation regarding good equipment for recording your own sample?
I’d like to record some sounds of my own as well as from the nature , so I need microphone and some sort of equipment.
Could you recommend something ?
Thanks

Have a look for ‘Digital Field Recorder’ or ‘Portable Field Recorder’.

Yamaha, Tascam and many other companies make them.

Some have built in mics, some are mp3 only, but others will record Wav as well.

This kind of thing:

I remember when a Nagra tape deck with a Neumann mic were the hot ticket for field recording. Great gear, but not exactly inexpensive.

Now you can get (for example) a Yamaha Pocketrak W24. Built-in mics, MP3, WAVs up to 24-bit/96KHz, at a price that pales in comparison to the Nagra plus Neumann - especially if decades of inflation is taken into account.

I’m certainly no youngster, but I just felt especially old.  ;-)

Yes, they make even portable DAT seem old.

I know a guy who still swears by his Stellavox.
