Today I was beening taught by billy,
Today I have been finishing of my mindmap ive finshed the three i had to do and then i even did and extra mindmap.
The extra mindmap I did about youtube streaming media/audio.
after I finished all the mindmaps I went to break.
after coming back from break I started getting more research
at 11:45 we started review out work we had today.
tommorow we will be getting ideas/notes from each (a,b,c) after we do review we will be starting making podcasts.
Im going to like making podcasts becaues I havent made a podcast before and i like learning new things about podcasts.
I like doing this research because i have learnt new things about cd's,streaming audio.

i did find it hard to find good information about cd's and other stuff, but most of the information i changed into my own words.
If i was to do this again i think that i would be able to do this alot quicker because now ill know what to write and what i have to do in the research.

before I started the exam, I started doing a sheet which was giving in keyskills at 9am it was about commas puting commas in the correct place I found rule 1 easy.

rule two was separating sentences. after I did the first one I found this easy its was the 5th question which I got stuck on because I didnt know where it when.
rule 3 we didnt do.

at 10:30 I went and did my keyskill exam I did level 1 and I thought I did very well, it was very easy.
After doing the exam we went to our break then when we got back from break we got told to do our blogger and edit our blogs.

I've only just noticed that I never did a any posts about my track.
well I first started thinking of songs that I like and got an image of what my track might sound like.
I first added my recordings of a train and a drill and others then I started adding some other loops to my track,
After adding some loops and using some effects my track was coming together
after about the second loop was in sync/ tempo.
I just kept the two first loops repeated because I though that it sounded good.
 after I had my track I started taking screenshots as I was going a long to that I didnt forget. =/
 On wednesday adrain took the screenshots and the track to mark.

keyskills and media.

Today in keyskills we have been learning about grammer/Apostrophes ( ' )
after I had to do a quiz showed below i did level a and b i got 10 out of 10 on the first one and 9/10 on the second one, the one i got wrong i didnt quiet understand a question so i just had a guess.

After doing the quiz adrian played everyones soundtrack on he's computer and i liked a few of the songs i think pauls track sounded realy good, after listening to the track he then showed us how to use a mixing desk.

he gave us a sheet which he followed.
first we turned down the master faders (the yellow faders)
then turn the phantom power off (the phantom power, powers the microphones up)
then use the appropriate microphone
set up the mic stand
attach the mics to the stand
use the XLR cable to connect the mic to the mixing desk
turn phantom switch on if needed
turn master faders up until signal levels are correct using metering
pfl off and strips on
recorded your sound track
save song file
turn off all faders and phantom power
unplug all equipment.
