3 Things I Learned In Class 1/26/07

1. I learned how to record sounds using an MDR Flash Player, which is basically a portable device not much larger than an I pod with a microphone attachment. The microphone was pretty sensitive and picked up very small sounds, it was also pretty easy to use.

2. I learned about the different ways in which sound is distorted when recording using a microphone and steps that can be taken to prevent these distortions. Being careful not to shake or bump the microphone or sheilding it from wind distortion just to name a couple.

3. I also learned how to take files recorded using the MDR Flash Player and import them into programs like iTunes and organize them so that they can be easily accessed at a later date. The whole process is pretty simple.

3. I heard about a website called pandora.com and looked into it on my own time. It's an interesting way to find out about differet artists and genres of music that appeal to me, but as of now I'm not so sure I preffer it to sharing music on iTunes.
