Trek Assesment #1

One. While I was capturing sound for my Trek 01 project, I was most frustrated with the noises I didn't want to record sneaking into the recording. When I was recording sound in a hole by some train tracks I was forced to start recording over multiple times because of a car passing by. I would have a great strip of sound and when I finally felt I had enough to finish it off a car would go by. It wouldn't have been a problem except for the fact that a very few amount of cars passed on the road adjacent to the tracks, so the noise stood out to much.

Two. A similar situation to above accept that it dealt with the mic sensitivity. As I recorded sound I would adjust the level of the mic sensitivity so it wouldn't pop with a noise that was to loud. Many times I would want the sensitivity up high so I could get every little detail, however, when I did this there would always be a noise every 20 seconds or so that would cause the mic to pop. It was frustrating having to sacrifice the great detail in the smaller sounds because of a lesser amount of bigger sounds.
