Sound Recorder

One of the most important elements in my project is the sound of water. In order to get clear and high quality sound. I went around doing field recording on actual spots of water source. Tools that I have been using to record the sound of water is the portable sound recorder shown as below.

Firstly I used the

Zoom H2.

I find it easy to use and it's handy and light. very convenient for me to bring along in my bag.

Then i tried the slightly advanced version of the same brand. It has more features and has two input and more feature; slightly bulky but it is still fine to be carried around.

Other experiment:

**playing with the piezo vibration sensor which is made into a hydrophone; looks like this.

The hydrophone is connected to the sound recorder, eventually I got clearer sound of water with all the extra noise filtered out. because it is made of piezo vibration sensor which only detects vibration, that is why in the output sound the noise are gone.
