Quick technical question about field recording for textures, etc for a
project I'm working on a proposal for:
What is the best type of mic to use and/or setup?
Do you use one mic or two in the field (stereo recording?)?
How do you minimize interference to get a natural sound in the field?

An MD walkman and a single stereo microphone do a nice job for a fairly minimal (but not minimalist) capital outlay. Windscreens and rumble filters (both provided with my Audio-Technica stereo condenser mic) do a decent job of reducing some atmospheric interference, and some method of isolating the microphone from the hand(s) holding it might also be considered.
