1. Discuss your experiences with building your microphones. Was this process more or less what you thought it would be? How did your microphone rig work on your Drift walks? Were you able to capture both overall ambiance and extreme closeups? Describe your ideal microphone and recorder setup, with unlimited time and money.
The process of building the microphones wasn't too bad because I lucked out and got it my first attempt, the idea of building something like that scared me at first. I didn't think I could make anything like that, but now I have, and might do it again someday.
2. How was your experience with operating the MiniDisc recorder? How does this recorder compare to other audio equipment you've used? In an ideal world, how would your recorder of choice function?
The MiniDisc recorder took a bit to get used too, and it was hard to judge how high I should have the record volume turned up. I feel I know have a better understanding of the functions the recorder uses and I could get much cleaner sounds from it. It also gave me a new way of looking at things, or hearing them rather. While listening to the world through the recorder and microphones, I was able to hear much more that I was previously, everything was turned up.
3. Discuss the audio-editing software you chose and your history with this application. If you used this software for the first time, explain why you chose this particular application and how you think it helped you to accomplish your creative goals (or proved detrimental). Will you use this software again for future projects?
I have only used Audicity once before this class and I was able to learn a bit about it before hand, so my overall opinion of the program is pretty good. It's easy to use and has many functions that really do some amazing things. I will definitly continue using this program for school, and non-school related activities.
