Audio Recording
Attention! If you have audio recorders, mics, etc, please bring them with you as only a limited number of recording devices will be available on-site.
This is one of the courses you need in order to do language documentation. Audio recording
is the backbone of most language documentation and language maintenance projects.
In this hands-on workshop, we will cover principles of making and editing audio recordings.
Questions addressed include: How do I make a clean recording? How do I get the recording
into a computer, chop it up, and save it for posterity? How do I keep track of all
the recordings I have? What sorts of free software is available to edit audio? What
is the best, most durable gear that won’t break the bank? The list of topics to be
covered will be adjusted depending on the needs of the workshop participants. Materials
covered in this workshop, with further practice, should prepare participants to do
basic documentation work.
