This assignment was relatively useful in the sense that it helped me address some concerns I have with my upcoming project for this class. I think that most of the information that was provided has been covered in my radio classes that I took with Trudie Mason. She would often encourage us to use ambient sound, extra sound (i.e. music) for our pieces because she insisted that it gave a location for the listener as well as something nice for the ear, rather than a interviewee’s voice.

The only problem with this assignment was that I wasn’t able to finish it by using the sound mixer. It wouldn’t load the sound clips and ended up freezing my computer several times. Even though I have done a lot of radio editing, I would have liked to fully complete the assignment.
