BLOG QUESTION: SOUND UNIT SUMMARY

Revisit your earlier blog posts about sound. What are 3 things you learned during this unit? What did you learn about them? Explain in detail. What are two things that you still feel you need to learn more about? Why? What was one thing that you found the most interesting? Why?

Some thing’s I learned during the sound unit are how to hide audio hiss/noise, how to correctly check for levels, and how to properly set up a mixer and use a boom mic. I learned that there are many options and settings on audition that you can utilize to hide certain noises in audio. To check for levels on a mixer, you can look at the meter which will show you whether or not your audio levels are peaking into red. Lastly, I learned how to setup a mixer and boom mic using XLR cables. One thing I found the most interesting was learning about the different polar patterns that mics can have, because I wasn’t aware that each mic could be used for different situations depending on their polar patterns.
