Following feedback from Mark Hildred and members of staff from Scarborough Museums Trust, we have re-recorded the voice overs for the "Meet the Charms" video. We have removed some of the more complicated speach and also re-arranged the intro video. In actual fact this is the second major change we have made to the audio the first change was to take of the sea and seagull sounds and make a loop for them. I am sceptical about the value of this. Both the Sea sounds and seagull sounds were different for each video in the installation. Although the amount of time taken to create it wasn't too long, I feel that it gave pehaps a little more interest, even of the sounds were all from the same basic recordings.
For example
The Bollan Bone was...
Old Bollan Bone Audio
It then became
Bare Bollan Bone Audio
And Finally, I hope it is
New Bollan Bone Audio
Having recorded the voice overs again in the Overdub studio, I was alarmed to hear a constant buzz in the audio when working with it at home. I managed to eliminate the buzz using Audacity, hopefully the audio will be good enough, there wasn't much degredation of the actual voice. If it's unacceptable, then it's back to the studio again.
I've got to say that the audio in the first clip sounds a lot clearer and the background does make it more evocative. It's difficult to tell without the other background loop running.
