Audio

Sound

There are many ways sound can effect our audio recording.

A room which is massive, empty and has high ceilings tend to bounce sound all round creating echos all round the room, which in media we call Reverberance and this type of room is not ideal to voice record in.

A room that is compact, has furniture and acoustic panels setup around the room, the room will be more quiet and less reverberant due to the acoustic panels dampening the sound vibrations, the sound will be more precise and dry, in media terms we call this a 'dead'/dry room where sound is absorbed rather than being bounced about.

Sound Recording

Audio Recorders are mainly used to record a persons voice and they come in various models with some pros and cons.

Some use Micro SD cards or regular SD cards, they can have up to one or two microphones plugged in.

Depending which one you use, it'll be pretty easy to get the handling of the device or you may still struggle with it as some devices aren't very user friendly.

Zoom H1N

Pros: Uses Micro SD, Has two Microphones, Can plug external Microphone.

Cons: Can't plug in Boom mic.

Zoom H4N

Pros: Uses normal SD card, Has two Microphones, can install two external microphones.

Cons: Can be slow loading SD card.

Zoom H4

I was tasked with editing an unedited audio file of a interview by using adobe audition, by using various techniques that were taught during the lesson.

The techniques i used were some audio splicing, audio overlaying, and using the mac's screen grabbing to take a screen shot of the work I had done.

Below is a screenshot where I edit the file by using Adobe Audition

Here is the the audio file which I had edited with Adobe Audition.


I had been tasked to create a script about my morning to college and edited it to make it fluid and smooth (more detail of this is on the WORK TIMESTAMPS page 24.9.21)

Here is the setup I used for the Morning routine script voiceover, in the image you can see Adobe Audition is running on the desktop as well as a blue snowball microphone plugged in for the audio recording, and my headset to check the audio whilst and after recording.


Room Tour

I did a room tour of the college sports hall by using an audio recorder and an SD card to save the recording onto which I later uploaded to a MAC or PC and began editing it using Adobe Audition.
Below is the file of the edited Room tour.


Below is a screenshot of me editing the audio.
