Recording Tips
- Always record at least 30 seconds of the space you are in without intervening.
- Prior to recording, listen carefully. If you hear a sound you don't want and you can turn if off or avoid it, do so. It's easier to do this now than when you are editing, e.g. fridge hum, background music, etc.
- Say what you are recording into the microphone. This will help you with organizing your audio files.
