ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGE AUDIO RECORDING

There are different types of interviews which can be classified into structured, semi-structured and unstructured
interviews. In order to record.

CD quality digital is poor because it cuts out frequencies above the human audio spectrum which have an
important effect on the frequencies we can hear. Advantages Ideally, the audio recording of interviews gives
an accurate summary of the interview, as all the answers captured during the interview, as well as the
comments by the researcher, are saved for reference. This doesn't mean you can't like it though. Consumer
record. You have to make sure that there is enough space on the disc and check whether the batteries are fully
functioning or not. Comparing and evaluating analogue and digital audio quality The primary debate,
however, is not concerned with ergonomics or myths, but whether analogue or digital audio is better at
recording and reproducing performances and recordings as they were intended to be heard by the engineers,
producers and artists that created them. Finalising the question Perhaps our evaluation should therefore ask..
This isn't to say that differences won't be discernible on lesser systems, you just may find some important
artefact are less audible. We will be unable to make any kind of evaluation if our monitoring system is
incapable of reproducing accurately the audio spectrum with as flat a frequency response as possible. Use a
2-track master of a finished recording Make a new recording with microphones Make a new recording with
electronic instruments with analogue outputs electric guitars, drum machines, synths, keyboards etc Make a
new recording with digital plug-ins Using a microphone captured performance One option involves making a
microphone recording of a musical performance a musician and instrument. It is true that at 20kHz there are
only 2. Using a 2-track mixdown master This solves the problem of comparing recordings to original
performances. First we must establish if we are going to make an objective or subjective evaluation.. Let's
agree then, that our comparison should be to evaluate whether analogue or digital more accurately reproduces
sound. There was no question that you would be working digitally. It was a lot cheaper, for starters, to work
digitally. Nevertheless, our is an objective evaluation and we need to hear the results of our recordings as well
as possible, therefore we should use the highest quality studio monitors available to us. Moreover, the tone,
body language, pitch of the voice, speed of the speech etc. Therefore listening tests will be the preferred
methods. A good interviewer is aware of when to keep quiet and when to talk. The listening part of an
interview is as important as answering part. Vinyl has a more natural sound, wider bandwidth and dynamic
range than CD. Disadvantages The disadvantage of audio recording the interviews is that one needs to depend
on the equipment and if it fails to function properly then there must be a backup plan. We may prefer the
sound of one to the other but that doesn't tell us which is objectively better. Both the record signal chain and
monitoring system should be identical for our comparison.
