This  project  involved  in  creating  a  sequence  of  audio  clips  to  make  a  short  radio  style  piece.  The  short  audio  clip  had  to  be  about  a  chosen  object  and  a  short  or  multiple  interviews  with  people  who  describe  the  object.  It  was  ideal  if  the  chosen  object  made  a  distinctive  sound.  After  researching  into  objects  that  make  distinctive  sounds  we  chose  the  Rubix  Cube.    I  was  working  in  a  pair  so  roles  were  not  exactly  divided  as  we  ended  up  doing  most  of  the  tasks  together  and  simply  consulted  with  each  other.  We  both  equally  shared  tasks  in  terms  of  research,  planning  and  editing.  However,  I  did  do  all  the  behind  the  scenes  stuff  such  as  taking  pictures  of  them  recording,  the  release  form  and  planning  out  the  possible  interview  questions.  This  project  was  quite  hard  for  me  as  sound  is  probably  my  weakest  point  because  I  don’t  know  what  is  a  ‘bad  sound’  or  ‘good  sound’  and  wouldn’t  know  what  to  do  to  make  an  audio  clip  sound  good.  However  despite  this,  I  did  enjoy  the  editing  stage  as  I  didn’t  realise  how  many  changes  can  be  made  with  one  sound  clip  just  by  using  effects.  Additionally,  when  recording  using  the  Tascam  portable  digital  recorder,  I  found  understanding  the  difference  settings  and  mic  settings  difficult  and  this  was  vital  as  every  different  settings  meant  that  the  recording  will  be  done  differently.    Overall,  this  project  was  better  than  I  expected  as  the  brief  was  simple  and  didn’t  need  to  go  out  of  the  way  for  it,  for  example  finding  sound  which  is  hard  to  get  or  even  impossible.  Additionally,  as  a  pair,  we  managed  time  well  and  got  everything  done  within  time.  The  key  was  to  record  properly,  in  a  quiet  area  with  very  little  or  no  surrounding  sounds  so  not  much  effects  is  needed  to  be  added  to  the  audio  clip  when  editing.    If  I  was  to  improve  or  do  this  particular  project  again,  I  would  like  to  have  a  better  understanding  on  what  Adobe  Audition  has  to  offer  as  I  was  still  unclear  on  what  certain  effects  do  and  how  they  work  which  meant  a  lot  of  our  time  was  spent  in  researching  and  looking  at  tutorials  online.
