In this week’s Workshop we used the ZOOM H2N audio recorder to make a short audio piece and familiarise ourselves with the equipment and process for editing sound.

We were extremely constrained by time and barely managed to record any sound at all, but I managed to layer what we got into a (simple) piece in which I discuss my favourite place to sit and chill on campus. There are three layers of audio in this piece.

Editing sound is something I’ve done in the past (see my podcast here) so I didn’t learn too much from the editing part of this exercise, but it was good to figure out the strengths and weaknesses of the ZOOM recorder for future reference.
