Well here we are again, lots of new things to talk about this post. The weekend was pretty spiffy, we cracked out the timeless Gundam Wing and watched a whole stack of them. Other than that it wasn't very eventful, worn out after the week of learning!
Yesterday (Monday 23/01/12) was our first full day of our Technical Studio Recording module. I took to this far easier than I expected. There was a lot of things that I already seemed to know, or picked up very quickly. Very logical to me I suppose, to record 'x' put the microphone at 'y'. It seems all those years of live music gigs actually taught me some things without me even realising it! I know the difference between condenser and dynamic microphones and how to mic up a drum kit, guitarist (from acoustic to bass) and even bongo drums.
We did a bit of recording too, as a group, spearheaded by Liz and myself mostly. An advert was formed about a Zombieproofing firm, I was democratically pointed at to do the speaking. After that most of the class went off to do things, Kristin and myself stayed back to play around with the recording, adding in a soundtrack. We tried a few different ideas, from Tubular bells to Muzak. Eventually Kristin had a genius moment with suggesting pan pipes, so currently we have a recording for a Zombieproofing company backed to John Lennon's Imagine played on panpipes. It's very odd but really interesting how serious it makes it sound. I'm sure it will be posted here once a bit more work is done.
I'm in my E-portfolio class at the moment (I hate the word portfolio.....). I'm trying to make a website using googles 'Sites' tool. Having 0 luck at the moment. It wont accept any kind of URL name I try, seems I'm not the olnly one having issues. Blogger is great, but so far sites is a pain in the rear!
Well that's about it for now, I'm getting along with everything pretty well. Talk to you soon!
