Recording dialog plus nature sounds simultaneously

["michaelcage77" michaelcage77]

Hi,

First time poster. What a great resource you all have created.

I'm new to recording nature sounds, and have a specific use in mind where I'd 
be recording dialog, on location, with (ideally) a deep and rich natural 
soundscape. I want the listener to feel like they are there.

I have a Sony PCM-D50 which I gather from the archives is OK as a recorder.

What I'm not sure about is the optimal microphone or microphones I should use 
to capture both voice and nature sounds at the same time. My preference would 
be to use the PIP on the Sony, instead of carrying a separate preamp.

Is there such an "all-in-one" microphone that will do the job? 

Am I better off using two recorders, one with quiet mics for the soundscape and 
the other cardioids to capture voice ... and then mix the two?

I'd like to carry as little gear as possible, so an all-in-one solution is 
definitely my hope.

Has anyone done something like this? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Be well,
Michael Cage
