Evaluation - Technology


When I completed my Preliminary Task I was not so familiar with the technology and the use of the software. It was all very new to me, and very confusing. I learnt about the uses of all different technologies used to create both my Final Task and Preliminary task. I used a SURE SM58 when recording both tasks, all sound effects used was taken from the BBC Sound Effects Library. Adobe 1.5 was the software I used to create the Radio Show. The adobe software allows me to take clips recorded and edit them but shortening them or inserting clips in between. I was also able to create my own background noises during voxpops and interviews to ensure that it sounds as realistic as possible. 

When using the Adobe Multitrack, it allowed me to overlap many different files to create one large final file. I was able to make it sound like there was street sounds in a voxpop without going outside. 

The Microphone was also one of the main uses in recording. It has an anti pop guard to prevent any hissing and unnecessary sounds. When the sounds where not as clear as needed, i was able to remove them with Adobe Audition. It allowed me to combine the tracks using the multitrack option. The software also allowed me to adjust the volume and quality of each sound. This meant that i was able to fade voices in and out - this became useful for my News Stories.
