We are required to record our own sounds for inclusion in our UDK levels. In order to do so we had to use the Zoom recorder. An induction had to be undertaken so that we could understand how it worked and what microphones are available for use.
The Zoom has two microphones on top of it and a screen for displaying sound levels and menus. Once the demonstration was complete I went out to record sounds around the city centre. My first location was at the bus station. I used this area to acquire the sound of echoing footsteps in a tunnel. Unfortunately the sound of voices and the music and announcements from the tannoy made the sounds ill-fitting for my level. I then collected sounds from passing traffic and inside the shopping centre for use in the exterior and interior of my level. These suited my needs perfectly.
I did record other sounds from around town but these proved unusable because they were too quiet or non existent. Overall though i am happy with the sounds i have and i hope for next time to get more.
