My first essay is due in this Wednesday. Here's the question:

Discuss the principals of digital audio recording. Is a digital recording a “true” record of the subject sound? Will it ever be? Does it need to be?

I am supposed to do 2000 words. I have done about 1900 words, but I still have a bit more info to put in and some more references. Does anyone want to proof read it for me when I'm done, make sure I haven't written anything stupid?

😀

I'd be eternally grateful.... 🙂

I 'll volunteer ... Hope it isn't too "philosophical"... 😉

Cool, thanks 😀 I'll PM it to you asap (might be about 8pm tonight) as I'm still finishing it off.

Thanks 😀

bloody students, come here expecting us to do their homework... oh, you've already done it... 🙂

not sure if i'll get chance to read it before your deadline but i can try if you still need input... It's an interesting topic, argued this kind of thing with people before (y'know, analogue is just as corrupt as digital yada, yada...)

Cheers,

It's not really an argument between analogue & digital, more a description of digital recording and it's good/bad points and then some opinions at the end. I'll PM it to you if you like. (going to hand it in this afternoon though)

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
