Amplified my aquarium. Feel like a fish.

Yup. Give it a whirl, people. Just prop a mic up against your tank, plug it into your stereo and crank it. Watch out for feedback, though. You'll get to experience the sounds your fish would be experiencing if they had ears. I doubt the lateral line picks up all the nuances an ear would. Anyway, it sounds best if you kill most of the higher frequencies and boost the lows and mids a bit. It's rather soothing after a few minutes. I had to unplug my powerhead, it's kind of noisy. Otherwise, I'm all set to record my three raphael catfish talking tonight.

I used double amplification and an 8-band EQ to get a clean sound. It's awesome. I feel like I'm underwater.

You've got to post the recordings. This sounds cool!

especially if ur fish grunt or make other noises

 

[knifegill]

Yeah. I'll check the tape tomorrow morning and post it if there are croaks. The rumble all by itself wouldn't impress on a recording. You've got to be in the room and feel the floor shaking.

OMG you guys. Listening attentively to an hour long tape of almost nothing seems to be stretching my abilities of concentration to new limits. I will eventually get something, but it's going to be a challenge.
