To prepare for the Young Sound Seekers Camp, I think I should make a list of goals I want to accomplish. First, I want to be as informed as possible about how Reaper works so that when I show up at the camp and the campers need help I know what to do. To learn Reaper I will be practicing mixing music for a couple of weeks to understand how the DAW works and try out different plugins. I will also be going outside and doing a few field recordings and using Reaper to edit them since that is the camp’s focus. Hopefully, by the time June 19 comes, I will have an excellent understanding of the software and it will allow me to help out the campers at an efficient rate. My job for this internship isn’t just to help out the campers but to also make some kind of promotional material for the camp. I hope on making something that can be used for years to help have more people want to join the camp. To make sure I create something that is high quality I will be spending some time looking at the camp schedule and making a list of ideas of things to record. A problem that I need to come up with a solution for is the sound of the recordings. Right now my camera does not have a port where I can plug a mic in. Even though there is a mic in the camera the quality of the sound is not that good. So, I want to try different things to fix this issue. An idea I have right now is to find a way to put my iPhone on top of the camera with some kind of mount and use the voice memo function on it. Depending on how that goes I may have to find a way to record video while using a zoom recorder from the Stetson library. If I do have to go with the latter I may need to ask for some help so I can record a stable video that is not too shaky. Overall I know that if I put in the work before the camp starts I know that I can help out the campers and make something worth sharing.
