With our help, you’ll be able to capture authentic sounds from all around the world in no time. So, dive in and let’s start recording!
FIELD RECORDING DEVICES
When we think back on our sound journey in Cambodia, it’s pretty amazing to think that we managed to capture everything using just a humble Zoom H1 recorder. Since then, we’ve been on a wild ride, traveling the world and collecting more and more gear to help us capture even better sounds. We’re always on the hunt for new tools and gadgets to add to our collection, and we recently got our hands on the Sony PCM D100 – needless to say, we’re pretty stoked to put it to use on our next adventure.
MICROPHONES & MORE
At Free To Use Sounds, we’re commited to capture sounds from all over the world and share them with all of you. We’ve been traveling to some pretty amazing places over the past eight years, experimenting with all kinds of recording techniques and gear to make sure we get the best possible audio.
Our audio gear is packed with specialized microphones, wind protection, hydrophones, and other fun sound design gadgets that help us get those very unique recordings. We’ve tried out a ton of different gear options, but the microphones we’re using now is absolutely top-notch.
It’s safe to say that the gear we use has played a major role in our success at Free To Use Sounds. Our recordings have leveled up, and we’ve built up an amazing community of fans who love what we do and our recordings.
We’re seriously proud of our gear, and we know it’s a big part of what makes us stand out. So, why not take your own recordings to the next level with the same gear we use? It may change your life as it has ours.
So, check out the gear we’re currently using on our adventures – we promise it’s a great choice!
