Live audio production

For my live audio production project I have decided to record an orchestra performing in front of their school. For this project it required a relatively short equipment list: 2 RODE NT2 condenser mics, 1 Tascam 8 channel … DAR, XLR cables, 1 Laptop. And for video capturing purposes: 1 Cannon 7d and Tripod. This project was a demonstration of live sound mixing as well as live sound recording. In order to make this project go above and beyond at the end of the performance reception I had prepared disks for all of the students in the orchestra. The microphone arrangement was the biggest issue when it came to getting the sound of the entire orchestra rather than having just a select few instruments drowning out the mix. One of the microphones was in the center of the stage

Electronics Completed Projects



These pictures are captured from my electronics final project which was to perform mathematics on the schematic, follow the instructions in order to complete the circuit board.  From schematic to finished product this headphone amp demonstrates understanding of reading schematics, knowledge of ohms law, and basic soldering skills. These skills are essential to the audio professional because in most work environments there will be a written plan or diagram to follow and being able to read and interpret these tools will help work flow much smoother. This project also demonstrates the ability to be precise and make simple solders in order to complete the circuit board. This skill is useful in repairing cables, troubleshooting electrical and signal flow issues and being able to maintain equipment in proper working condition.
