I am very fortunate to be involved with a fantastic soundscape project with the Cheshire Wildlife Trust in collaboration with the University of Manchester, working with volunteers to capture the sounds of the Dee Estuary.
What sample rate and bit depth should I use?
This is probably one of the questions I get asked more than any other and it (thanks to the extremism of the internet) can provoke all manner of responses. As such I have put together the following set of guidelines which I use, and through explanation with my students suggest that they use. I hope that you find these guidelines useful when you are struggling with what sample rate and bit depth to use for your project.
Where have I been?? Soundscapes, books, Logic Pro, gigging and more
Train station // Binaural soundscape
I love the buzz and vibrance of a train station platform. There is always so much to take in sonically, but often we are distracted by the hustle and bustle of what is going on as we wait. I find soundscape recordings of train stations give you another insight and perspective to the inner workings of our hive like behaviour at transport hubs.
