West Latta has published the second part of his tutorial/guide at Audiotuts+ talking about the basics of Field Recording and different proceses like recording, editing and mastering. If you are new in this world of Filed Recording, this might be very useful.
Field recording seems a dark art to many sound designers and composers, yet it is one way to create rich libraries of original material. Through some simple guidance and advice, this two part tutorial will give you a brief introduction to field recording. In Part 1, we’ll take a look at tools of the trade, some tips and and tricks for having a successful session, and a walkthrough of a recording session. Part 2 will address some post-processing techniques for captured sounds, librarianship, and what to do with your recordings once you’ve got them back in the studio.
