At 8:30 AM, The Young Sound Seeker’s campers learned to work on MacTosh computers in Davis Hall. Starting the day learning how to make it accessible to their level of accessibility, from Zoom, Voice-Over, Inverting the colors, and adjusting the size of the cursor. It wasn’t only a learning experience for them, but for me to be able to take the information and help anyone that needed help in the next part of the lesson in the Audio Lab. The campers were able to get started on the basics of working with the audio program Reaper. One of many programs made accessible for the visually impaired. They were now starting to work on the basics of audio mixing. It was an excellent review of how to do the basics on a different platform outside BandLab. It helped campers work with audio mixing basics, from adding tracks, slicing, and deleting audio. Three out of five campers in my area needed some assistance before they fully understood the process. I enjoyed experiencing the lesson, as it was a big help to broaden my understanding of audio along with clarifying some information that I learned in my current summer Introduction Digital Audio class with Dr. Boland. Now, I have a clear idea about Reaper and is interested to put some of my works on Reaper and see if it’s easier to work on BandLab or Reaper.
