In this new methodology, all I needed was to monitor and review one source file for an investigation yet have four areas recorded as much as 100 feet from one another if need be.<br /><br />Yes I achieved results but this unknown territory reminded me of a blind man,finding a black cat in the dark. After more than a year I stumbled upon an audio engineer that has actively researched audio anomalies since 1995 and according to his studies, a correlation has been revealed with EVP and EMF.<br /><br />His name is David Rountree located out of New Jersey and has a team called <a href="http://www.spinvestigations.org/">SPIRIT</a>. David approaches this field with scientific experimentation in mind and has a vast arsenal of recording devices and microphones at his disposal. From his research, dynamic microphones would appear to be the most conducive choice for EVP recordings.<br /><br />After buying 4 cardioid condensers that essentially were ill suited for EVP work I humbly admitted to myself that another approach for the sake of research was needed. It turns out, the condensers can still be used as a control for sound driven captures and frankly I've always leaned towards Aural Voice Phenomena despite it's rareness.<br /><br />In 2010, now with 6 external microphones, our team will have more than our handsful experimenting and if these new ones work out I can see purchasing more. I'll keep you posted on my results but it might take some time since February is our first scheduled investigation for 2010.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8843397756970232043-4787974320530165854?l=neapri.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>EVPhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06504817540155837544noreply@blogger.com0
