Soundscape Assignment

We were given the task of creating a soundscape. Our soundscape had to be between three to four minutes long and the sounds within our soundscapes had to be natural material which we had recorded ourselves and appear realistic.

My idea was to create a soundscape, witch would capture and doument the step by step process I take in the morning before going  to university.




Using the Edirol R-1 software I recorded homemade sounds. I edited the sound on Logic 9

During the process of making my soundscape I encountered some problems on the day in which I would address with great detail for future recording purposes.

• The Edirol software which I was using repeatedly switched itself due to the software displaying signs of a low battery I purchased some new batteries and  the editorl still switched itself off whilst I was in the process of recording my sounds

• When I tried to playback some of the sounds which I recorded erlier in the day the software would playback but some of the files would be sound damaged and the playback wasn't in good quality. 

Concerned about my problems which I was facing I raised the issues with our technician Richard Wood who in return tested the sftware and promised to keep an eye on its wellbeing for future use.

If i were to record again to combat these problems i would borrow the software early so if I had any problems they could be checked out early in time so it dosent interrupt me when i am in the process of recording for the future.
