Music Studio Induction

Today we had an introduction to the music studio (well the one in college anyway) we where shown two dynamic microphones one was a rm57 model and the other was a rm58 both were industry standard, one was used to record vocals whereas the other one sounds ie. drums, footsteps etc.
We where shown something called a mixer which you plug the microphones into it acts as a control station for the output of the sound coming from the microphone. On the mixer there are tons of buttons but we were only taught the basics for now they included volume and several effects.
We also used a program called audacity 1.3 beta which I had some experience with from my previous school, on it we were asked to have a go at recording and playing with different effects that were pre-installed on audacity. We were also given a quick 101 on safety of the equipment making sure no food or drink was in the studio as water an electronic is a fire hazard and food could get stuck in the instruments and buttons.

For our 3D project me and my second in charge Steven had a quick talk of how we where going to implement sounds in our 3D trailer. We decided we needed footsteps and general sounds of outside ie. people talking, wind, cars etc. we also talked about voice overs which at the moment we don't where we are going to include it the rest we are still brainstorming.
