Nature sound CDs free of music from Natureguy Studio
Description
Background:
Hi, my name is Bruce Rutkoski. I own Natureguy Studio, and do all the recording, editing, and mastering of the CDs. I also do the photography and artwork. Natureguy is a nickname that fits me pretty well, since I really enjoy the outdoors. Some of my hobbies include backpacking, biking, rollerblading, outdoor photography (my photos all over this web site), 4 wheeling, and of course recording nature sounds. My professional background is in electronics, business, and wildlife research. I now have my own company which develops and manufactures electronic equipment for wildlife research and the outdoor industry. I obtained my initial knowledge about microphones and recording equipment by working at a nationally known microphone company in the late '80s. I started recording nature sounds for personal use while working there, and have since dramatically improved my equipment and techniques. Wildlife recording is largely a self-taught skill, but I also pick up a few tips from contact with other wildlife recordists. It is truly a gift to hear from my customers how much they enjoy my recordings, and how much of an impact I have made for some.
Techniques:
Technological leaps in the late 90's have made dramatic improvement in audio recordings not only possible, but affordable. Digital editing with a PC has become very important, and replaces what once was only available in a recording studio. I have developed my own specialized low-noise preamps and sound intensifier equipment for optimal recording in challenging outdoor environments. I am constantly testing new techniques and equipment to obtain even better results. I record only with high dynamic range, low noise digital equipment, and use very good microphones. All the sounds are digitally edited and enhanced with an advanced computer program. Even though parabolic dishes are commonly used in the wildlife recording industry, I no longer use them. I have found that recordings made with parabolic dishes tend to sound tinny, fake, distorted, and do not represent the true sound as it would be heard by the ear. Instead, I have developed special directional intensifiers to replace the parabolic dish. You will notice, when you listen to my recordings, that the depth of field is better when compared to others. This means that you will hear sounds that are nearby as well as distant, which is very similar to what you would hear with a good ear while actually at the location -- something I have worked very hard to reproduce.
Goals:
My personal goals are to produce CDs that capture the true essence of nature and create a sense of adventure that people will enjoy. I strive to record the environments as they would actually sound if you were at the location in person-- often better.
