Using the Hardware and Software

I thought that building my own microphone for a drift was like the weirdest thing. I was frustrated and high (due to the sauder...wrong spelling) while building it even though it was extremely interesting..ya know whatever. Making the wind resistance thing was hilarious cause it was kind of ghetto, but i felt sooooo good about myself when it was completed. Putting the mic into the mini-disc recorder and putting the headphones on my ears made me nervous...i was afraid it was not going to work and that I was going to have to start over....for the 5th time...but guess what? It had worked! woop woop! everything was suddenly amplified. It was like having extendable ears! I could hear people whispering. Will use for spying purposes.

The recorder was a little weird. It was kind of old school You had to click menu and pause and record and ya know...whatever...all that stuff. It worked very well though :) but my ideal recorder thingy would be like extra miniature so I could hide it when I spy on people. I could just hit record and thats all I would have to do. The settings would just automatically adjust.

To edit my sounds I recorded, I used Audacity. I never actually used Audacity before but I learned quick. It was actually quite fun messing around with the sounds. You could crank up the base or even add an echo. I chose this cause just did. I actually never had a lot of experience with sound editing software before and I remember hearing the name Audacity and it actually worked quite well. I will probably be using it again soon :)
