Sound Design
Friday 16th December

Today we had a break from Flash to look at sound design. We played around with Audacity, a cross-platform sound recorder and editor. It's pretty basic, but simple to use and great because its free to download.

We also looked at Reason which unfortunately isn't free, but is a lot more complex than Audacity. It is a 'virtual studio rack' - basically allowing you to emulate synthesizers, drum machines and samplers digitally. I definitely didn't master the software in such a short space of time, but I loved the graphical representation of real studio equipment stacking up on the rack, especially the feature that lets you flip to a back view where you see how all the cables are linked up.
