Week 6 – Interpreting Graphic Notation

This week’s activity was a lot more fun than recording the sounds. I pretty much used the reaper interface as a canvas to place the sound items I drew, corresponding mostly to the vertical and horizontal positions of all the different shapes and colours. I say mostly because the vertical positioning didn’t matter as much, because that was just how I made sure to distinguish between items. My main problem was the quality of the sounds I gathered. There was a lot of background noise that I didn’t want in them, but I guess that’s just the result of recording with my phone instead of professional equipment. Overall, it came out mostly how I intended. The vibes are kind of creepy underground hallway or basement noises. It specifically reminds me of when my sister and I would try to scare each other in the dark in our unfinished basement. For my assignment I will definitely use proper mics and audio interfaces.
