Week 2

Radio Cubicles

There are four radio booths. In each of them there should be; a laptop, a microphone, a small mixer, two speakers and headphones.

1. Turn on the lights, this is sensored.
2. Turn on the mixer (back panel on the right).
3. Make sure the two mixer faders are all the way up. These are the grey faders on the right labelled, 'main mix'.
4. The left hand fader is the mic. This should be obvious, as the mic should be plugged into the fader.
5. Turn on the laptop and open Adobe audition.
6. Record by pressing the red icon. Choose, stereo, 16 - bit and 44100, on the transport controls at the bottom of the 'edit view'. it will offer you a new wave window.
7. To play back, shut the mic fader on the mixer. Switch the speaker on for playback and off before recording.
