Hi All,

For anyone who owns, has owned or know about the Bastl Microgranny, I've got a question about microphones for recording my own samples.

1) Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm wanting to do field recordings of conversations, traffic hum, nature sounds, as well as instruments (drums, piano, bag of potatoes, saw, etc.). The onboard mic is a bit too lofi (at least on my unit it seems to be, very crackly).
2) Because it's playing samples in mono, 22050 Hz, 8 or 16 bit, I'm assuming I need to record at the same frequency and sample rate? I was going to buy a Zoom H2N because I found a sweet deal on one, but it records up to 24-bit/96 kHz audio, but will that not work with the MG? I initially thought they might be a good pair as they both record onto an SD card.

Help?

No idea about a microphone, any thing that's worked for you regarding field recordings should be fine.

You don't need to record at the same frequency and sample rate if you have a computer available because you can always convert, there's a good guide on Muffwiggler here:

You can also record from the H2N to the micro granny input?

That's kind of what I was wondering about, whether that would work properly or not. Thanks for the note on the Muffwiggler topic, I'll check it out. I was just hoping to eliminate unnecessary steps if I can. Because I'm lazy.

Yeah MG has an input but it'll still record in 8bit, so if you want 16bit you gotta go the SD card way. I frequently sample straight from my iphone/computer onto the MG.
