• Record yourself reflecting on today’s session (min 5 mins, max 10 mins). How will you record? Why? Where will you record? Why? What will you say? Why?

• Record three different environments relating to the points raised in class – might you want to book out a recording kit from ORB?

• Playback: Play-back these recordings. What do you think about them? Might they be improved?

First lesson summary recording:

I’ve recorded this with a Zoom H5, at my studio in my home. It’s always an experience to record yourself but I’m relatively used to do it. I spoke about what we did in class on the first session, it was good to refresh memory about it.

Next, here are 3 different environments recorded using Zoom H5:

Primary School

Street

Fast-food Restaurant

I enjoyed doing this recordings, I love to play back these sounds that we can listen on our everyday lives. I really like the primary school recording, it clearly defines th e sound of kids screaming on playground with a continuous texture. The street sound is quite good but it could have a better input gain and the third one is also rich in sounds but maybe is missing a more complex mix of chatting voices.
