We’ll spend time recording sounds, listening, and then editing them into a short soundscape.
No prior experience is required. The workshop is open to beginners and to those with more experience in audio.
What you’ll need
If you have them, please bring:
  • a smartphone, or any sound recorder you have
  • a laptop
  • software to edit audio on your laptop (eg. Audacity, GarageBand, Logic). I recommend trying Reaper, which has a 60-day free trial https://www.reaper.fm/download.php
If you don’t have any of these, please let us know. We’ll have extra recording equipment and microphones for everyone to use.
Cost
£7 – 10 (please pay what you think you can reasonably afford)
If you have questions or would like more information, please contact info@chapelfm.co.uk
