Semester - 24th Oct

During this semester Neil Introduced some Microphones which i hadn't used previously. We got Shown the RODE NT4 stereo Mic. This Mic uses phantom power and has a cardioid polar pattern. We was also shown the AKG tie clip mic, also known as a Lavalier microphone, which can be used clipped on to the person to capture dialogue, in small cracks where other mics wouldn't fit and can be paired up to capture effects stereo recordings. We was also shown the Hydro-Mic that doubles up as a contact mic. This is good for capturing the mechanics of objects that wouldn't be heard throughout the normal ear. Also with they hydro mic you can capture a whole new world under water.

Also we went on a sound safari and captured a lot of sound recording, I used 2 of the tie clip mics and used them to capture stereo recordings. I was really proud of one of the recordings I captured as managed to hear people pass from side to side and even a helicopter flies over head. As i used 2 tie clip mics and recorded in stereo you can have a sense of space when listening back to the recordings and hear the people and objects moving around as the move away and closer to the microphones.
