Today’s Activity: Ambisonic Recording

The Task is to Capture the following…

  • Ambient Room Sound
  • Environmental Sounds
  • Instrumental Sounds
  • Static Sounds
  • Moving Sounds

Field Recordings: LCC UAL

Archival Context Creation

Ambisonic Recording: Elephant and Castle

I’ve done my own follow-up task from today’s activity and created a video archiving today’s process field recordings. The video captures Elephant and Castel’s traffic as we stand safely and dangerously field recording for an ultimate ambisonic field recording.

Software

  • iMovie
  • Logic Pro X

iMovie was used to make basic video slices and Logic was used to edit audio to transition the iPhone recording to Ambisonic VR Mic Recording to showcase the difference in playback resolution and listening experience.

I have uploaded the video to YouTube because the file is too large to upload to the blog website.
