Im happy with how my recorded sounds turned out once edited, considering that Id never used Logic Pro before, or had a lesson on it before I experimented on my sounds.
The main tool at my disposal for editing the sounds i recorded was Logic Pro on the Macs. However I had the choice between recording my sounds with a microphone set up or using my phone, I decided to use my phone as I knew id be recording all my sounds at home, so the circumstances didn’t allow for me to use anything else, although I recorded on my phone I’m happy with the raw audio quality as any background noise or muffle would’ve been removed using editing.
My main challenge was using the sound editing software itself as it was completely new to me, so I had help from my peers for understanding the basics of it.
The only limitation I ran into was with one of the sounds I required which was for the Geiger counter, this sound effect was of when radioactive emissions are being detected, I struggled to think of a substitute for the sound or a different way I could’ve created the sound artificially so it was my best interest to find the sound effect online and download it.
When I made the decision to use my phone to record the audio I thought that id be sacrificing the quality of the recording but the only impact I noticed were the positives to using a phone instead. Using my phone to record made uploading the sounds to the Macs easier as i didn’t need to mess around with SD cards I could just air drop the recordings straight to the computer instantly and begin editing them.
My strongest area I believe was task 3, the planning and organisation before I even began recording, I had created my synopsis early on into the project giving myself more time for recording.
There is definitely room for improvement for when I am brain storming for future projects as I feel as though I didn’t do enough brainstorming or go into it thoroughly enough.
