-
Hawker Center Hustle: To capture the vibrant symphony of a hawker centre, position your microphone to focus on the sizzling woks and lively chatter, while utilising directional patterns to minimise the overall din. Experiment with close-miking techniques to isolate specific sounds, like the rhythmic chopping of ingredients or the calls of vendors.
-
Nature Reserve Tranquility: When recording in Singapore's nature reserves, aim for a balanced capture of ambient sounds, such as rustling leaves and gentle breezes, alongside the distinct calls of local wildlife. Use wide stereo settings to create an immersive soundscape, and employ wind protection to minimise unwanted noise.
-
Urban Exploration: Capturing the sounds of urban Singapore, like the MRT or city streets, requires careful attention to detail. Utilise directional microphones to isolate specific sounds, like the whoosh of a train or the chatter of pedestrians, while minimising the constant hum of the city.
-
Recording Interviews and Stories: When conducting interviews with Singaporeans, prioritise clarity and focus. Position the microphone close to the speaker, and use cardioid patterns to minimise background noise. Employ a pop filter to reduce plosives and ensure a clean, professional recording.
