The Sound Recording Experience

The sound recording experience was different the second time around, but perhaps not different enough; like last semester, we met in the Cultural Arts Building and recorded various piano and vocal pieces, but I noticed that some of the things we were doing were very similar to what my group did last semester for our soundscape. I am certainly satisfied enough with the sounds my group produced, and Cam and Helen both brought great contributions and ideas. I just feel like I became more aware of the “typical” immediate approaches to sound recording for experimental reasons upon a second time. I think the requirement of uploading all our sound into 10-minute audio clips and providing a sound log was a beneficial decision for the most part; I knew as we were recording that most of our sounds would be listened to. I was also glad we were able to combine some sounds, as that lended itself to a slightly different way of thinking when deciding what to record.
