This document provides an evaluation of a project where the author created a short radio-style audio piece about a Rubik's Cube. They worked in a pair to research the object, plan and conduct interviews, and edit the audio clips together. While the author found sound editing challenging, they enjoyed learning about the effects possible. Overall the project went better than expected due to clear requirements and good time management between the pair.

1. Evaluation
This
project
involved
in
creating
a
sequence
of
audio
clips
to
make
a
short
radio
style
piece.
The
short
audio
clip
had
to
be
about
a
chosen
object
and
a
short
or
multiple
interviews
with
people
who
describe
the
object.
It
was
ideal
if
the
chosen
object
made
a
distinctive
sound.
After
researching
into
objects
that
make
distinctive
sounds
we
chose
the
Rubix
Cube.
I
was
working
in
a
pair
so
roles
were
not
exactly
divided
as
we
ended
up
doing
most
of
the
tasks
together
and
simply
consulted
with
each
other.
We
both
equally
shared
tasks
in
terms
of
research,
planning
and
editing.
However,
I
did
do
all
the
behind
the
scenes
stuff
such
as
taking
pictures
of
them
recording,
the
release
form
and
planning
out
the
possible
interview
questions.
This
project
was
quite
hard
for
me
as
sound
is
probably
my
weakest
point
because
I
don’t
know
what
is
a
‘bad
sound’
or
‘good
sound’
and
wouldn’t
know
what
to
do
to
make
an
audio
clip
sound
good.
However
despite
this,
I
did
enjoy
the
editing
stage
as
I
didn’t
realise
how
many
changes
can
be
made
with
one
sound
clip
just
by
using
effects.
Additionally,
when
recording
using
the
Tascam
portable
digital
recorder,
I
found
understanding
the
difference
settings
and
mic
settings
difficult
and
this
was
vital
as
every
different
settings
meant
that
the
recording
will
be
done
differently.
Overall,
this
project
was
better
than
I
expected
as
the
brief
was
simple
and
didn’t
need
to
go
out
of
the
way
for
it,
for
example
finding
sound
which
is
hard
to
get
or
even
impossible.
Additionally,
as
a
pair,
we
managed
time
well
and
got
everything
done
within
time.
The
key
was
to
record
properly,
in
a
quiet
area
with
very
little
or
no
surrounding
sounds
so
not
much
effects
is
needed
to
be
added
to
the
audio
clip
when
editing.
If
I
was
to
improve
or
do
this
particular
project
again,
I
would
like
to
have
a
better
understanding
on
what
Adobe
Audition
has
to
offer
as
I
was
still
unclear
on
what
certain
effects
do
and
how
they
work
which
meant
a
lot
of
our
time
was
spent
in
researching
and
looking
at
tutorials
online.
