Sound Effect Recording 03/05/2013

Recording

Microphones Used:-

1. Neumann U87 x 2
2. Zoom H4n Built in Stereo Microphones

The objectives of this session were to record any left over sound effects which were not recorded on location. These effects would have been difficult to obtain in public areas or rooms which were not very well sound proofed as they were very subtle and required a high gain setting for them to be clearly audible. 

Several Recordings were made for each sound effect in order to give more variations for editing and mixing. 

Sounds Recorded. 

1. Cup being placed on table (Scene in Burger King).
2. Water Being poured into plastic cup (Scene where train worker pours coffee).
3. Trolley being pushed up carriage. 
4. Trolley contents rattling.

The trolley contents rattling effect was recorded separately from the trolley movement effect as it would allow for greater control of the overall effect when being played in the radio drama. 

The sounds were recorded onto the Zoom H4n and transferred over to the main session for editing and mixing.
