1. Discuss your experiences with building your microphones. Was this process more or less what you thought it would be? How did your microphone rig work on your Drift walks? Were you able to capture both overall ambiance and extreme closeups? Describe your ideal microphone and recorder setup, with unlimited time and money.
I didn't mind building my own microphone. It was pretty much what I thought it would be, a lot of waiting and time consuming work. My microphone works beautifully. I'm very happy with how it sounds, both close up and far away sounds. If I had unlimited money I would obviously get a really nice microphone and definitely get a different recorder than the minidisc because it was somewhat confusing. I think it could be made much simpler.
2. How was your experience with operating the MiniDisc recorder? How does this recorder compare to other audio equipment you've used? In an ideal world, how would your recorder of choice function?
It was okay. It took a while to get used to. The only other audio equipment I've used was a taper recorder, so this is much better than what I have used before. I think an ideal recorder for me would be one that is much easier to navigate and show wavelengths.
3. Discuss the audio-editing software you chose and your history with this application. If you used this software for the first time, explain why you chose this particular application and how you think it helped you to accomplish your creative goals (or proved detrimental). Will you use this software again for future projects?
I chose to use Audacity because I have used it before and it's really easy to use. I've used it before to mix songs and compress sound for videos before.
