Recording the Boo at work

Noisy kids are having fun in the site and also at the beach.

I talk about my colleague who is a wrestler and stuff

Happy days

Would be better if I was relaxing rather than working. Day off tomorrow though.

Enter the text by speaking of typing and send it to any app from there. Like Drafts on the iOS operating system but for the Mac.

I am at work and it is deathly quiet

Today I recorded audio into Soundcloud, a competitor to Audioboo. Still love Audioboo though

This morning I have bought the application Twisted Wave to use on the iPad for recording audio. I have the iRig microphone which is a very good microphone for using with iOS devices and I have compared it with recording directly into my iMac using a Sampson condenser microphone. I am quite pleased with the results from the iRig microphone on the iPad, it just needs a little bit of tweaking to give it a richer more for sound. I can do this by applying a couple of filters and may be using a dynamics processor.

Most often I record my Audioboo's directly into my iPhone and while I am out walking the dog, but sometimes it is quite nice to sit down as the computer and use good software and better microphones.

What sort of microphones are you use when you are recording your Audioboo's?

Happy that Barça got through to next round of Champions League

I have been helping out a guy with encryption of emails. Took a while to find where the glitch was.

I talk also about a Fitbit alternative, an app called Moves which records your movements an is a pedometer

I remember how things were difficult as a teacher with a young family during the 80s, privatisation, bad Maggie T, Falklands war, high interest, expensive mortgages.

I had to work another job driving a taxi to make ends meet and leave teaching because I could not afford to live on the poor salary.

Thatcher - ding dong the witch is dead.

I saw an electric scooter yesterday at the campsite and a Renault Twizzer today.

A night watching the Telly Morse and the derivative Lewis series

Have to put the feet up and relax now and then.

Talking about the sounds of the campsite and about what my work colleague like to use his new Android phone for. He is more of a media consumption guy with his TV series and a bit of porn.

Bored at the camp site. But someone has to be here in case some guests arrive with caravans and tents.

Listening to some Documentally podcasts and enjoying getting his take on the change from old style media of the newspapers, radio and TV to the news media future. Citizen journalism is scary for the old school types.
