L01 : Reasearch for Assigment

Research for Audio Production Assignment The assignment has to be in the style of a magazine article so it’s important that I gather examples from trade magazines such as “sound on sound”.

Sound on sound is one of the more recognised and popular magazines in the music industry but I won’t only be drawing examples from this magazine I’m also going to be looking at several other magazines such as live sound international.  

I need to create a magazine article based on audio environments, this is basically the place that you decide to record your audio and every different acoustic environment affects the sound differently. An environment with solid flat walls will let the sound bounce off the walls and around the room, but in a professional audio environment the walls are made out of sponge so that the sound waves are absorbed and there’s no unwanted sound in the final recording. Everywhere is an acoustic environment including outdoors, for example if you sit in a field and record a guitar your environment will have an effect on the way the guitar sounds.
