Audio Hardware/Software Response

1. The building of the microphones went way smoother than I was expecting it to go. I haven't done anything like that before, but it wasn't very difficult. They worked like a charm if the charm was a really well working set of microphones. I don't really know enough about sound recording to want anything more than my very own homemade set.

2. As for the MiniDisc recorder, I often had trouble figuring out how to start the recording. Although, once it got going it was easy to work with and did a very nice job. Ideally, I would hope for a recorder with only two buttons; stop and record.

3. For my audio-editing software I used Audacity. Again, this was a very user friendly application. I have never used an audio-editing software previous to this class and Audacity was easy to pick up right away. I will definately use this software in the future as it can do everything I would currently need to do with sound and it does it easily and efficiently.
