Title: DIY ecaller sounds
Post by: jasnt on September 09, 2015, 10:10:36 AM: How many of you make your own ecaller sounds?

I've been making my own sounds for a few years now using audacity.
I'm looking to improve my sounds a bit and figured this is a good place to put tips and info for others to learn as well.

What are you using to record your sounds and how are you putting them together?

Any questions post here as well.

I use Reaper to do my audio editing. I have used other peoples mp3s to edit/combine to make different call sequences before. If I would try, I have condenser mics and a 24 track digital recorder/audio interface. I might get more serious and actually try now, whenever I can find the time.

The mp3s on there are some of the ones I've used to make my own calling sequence. I think he also has a tutorial on using Audacity to make your own sequences.

I've got many from YouTube and similar videos but have ran in to many opertunitys to record some very good sounds but I think I need a better mic than the one in my laptop!

He took the recording device into a chicken coop and started putting one at a time in duress. That call has called in more yotes in a place where there are chickens than any other call recording he has.

Just something to consider...

I never thought of that. I might have to ask my neighbors if I can set up my recording devices around their chicken coop.

one of my plans as well! Also Muscovy ducks and kid goats. Cat in heat ect ect. Thinking I just need a good mic to get better quality than I have been.
