Recording the Tour and Near Death Experiences

Week 12:

For me, this week was dedicated to recording the tracks for the museum tour. Until this morning, everything had been going extremely well. The recording equipment was working. I knew what I was doing, the readers were awesome. Our only problem was coming across a few words that no one could pronounce. It's resulted in the need to re-record a few scripts, but nothing too major.

Of course, then today came. We went in a different studio, which apparently didn't even HAVE the program on one computer, and the computer that did have it wouldn't allow us to open a session. It was frustrating to say the least. No worries though, we'll finish up Monday.

On the bright side, every script that has been recorded has been edited. It wasn't terribly difficult to do, and sometimes I even amaze myself with my mad skills. I successfully edited a few things mid-sentence, and it's impossible to tell. My new goal is to edit mid-word and make it sound flawless. In either case, I'm hoping the audio tour will be recorded and exported by Tuesday night.

Laura, Sarah, and I all had a near death experience today (that may be a bit of an exaggeration). As we stepped onto a Ball State shuttle, we were overcome by some sort of...gas. Needless to say, everyone on the bus was unable to breathe and subsequently was coughing. We were trying to open windows to no avail....it was like a bad horror movie. Thankfully another bus came and we all got on that one instead.

So all in all, it was a pretty productive week for me.
