Working with Sound

Acoustics & Ambience

Let's practice listening some more by examining the acoustics and ambience in a few spaces on the Boston College campus. (I recommend you wear headphones when listening, even just basic ones.) Listen to each clip and consider the acoustics (reverberant nature) and the ambient noise. How intense is the reverberation or echo? How loud is the ambient noise and what qualities does it have? Are there any subtle but still potentially disruptive or distracting sounds? How might recording in the space effect the characteristics and quality of the recording?
