third was a sibling with her bf which i tried to rather scrub my ears out.
Ouch. Yeah I know how this one would have been. Cover your ears and scream "LA LA LA LA" at the top of your lungs. I did get a laugh out of it though.
Now if I were in this situation, I'd invest in an olympus. It doesn't be an olympus, modern day smart phones have some very very good audio recording capability. Your phone would have to be ancient to have recorded bad quality. Smartphone mics seem as good as mid range dictaphones.
If anything, I'd recommend you invest in an olympus or recording with your phone
for yourself. If you could ask anyone here about their ideal location, 99% would say "student flats". I'm sure of it. Many also regret not knowing about SSL and they regret not capturing any recordings when they were in student dorms. The common sentiment among all of us is that "i wish i recorded when I was a student". We all wish we could go back
We would obviously love that you record and share them with us. Truth be told, a two bedroom flat sounds like heaven because you have virtually no one to disturb you as no people are around. You could just sit outside and listen to the orchestra.
But if you record and don't share, that is ok too. It is better to record them at least than to not record them at all. Again, if you ask the people here, they would say the same because every one of us was a student at one time or another. And because it never gets better than student flats.
Do it for yourself!
I think I tried (unsuccessfully) explains this to another member but he didn't seem to get me. Perhaps you might.
Don't do it for us, do it for yourself first. Then you can think about us. Although, if you think about us also, you will be instantly loved. Just the way we are
Good luck and happy to have you here dadka. Please don't hesitate to become a regular and engage with the community. We would really love that too!
