Our multimedia group gathered for another studio session to record items on the following:

What sight or sound do you associate with Christmas in Ireland? What kind of gift would be most appropriate as a “gadget for her”? Fast-forward ahead to the year 2020. What sight or sound related to multimedia today might be considered a digital artefact in that future year.

Recording took place in the sound studio with 8 Multimedia students, for best sound quality we used the Sony mini disc recorder with the Sony Microphone attached along side it. This enabled us to sit/stand around the room and all to be heard at the same voice level, which helped me produce better sound quality. When recording I made sure to slide the mini disk record button to the left and listen for the feedback, recording now took place with the help of Thelma Cotter who introduced each topic followed by our opinions.

Once recording had finished I hit stop and felt it vibrant in my hand. I got out a laptop and connected it to the mini disc and opened Soundforge. A mini problem occurred here, there were other files on the mini disc and I never looked to see what numbers were our recent recordings so I disconnected the device and played each item, jotting down the number as I went along. Finally I had the details I needed now I hit record in Sounforge waited a few seconds and pressed play on the mini disc and left extra time at the end for sound editing purposes.

I edited out the blank some and some jumbled words which appeared. Now I copy/pasted each one into on big file and added my introduction to the podcast using text to speech technology and also created my outro with contact/comments details. Listen here.
