Audio recording is the backbone of most language documentation and/or language maintenance projects. This workshop is intended for people with audio recording experience, who wish to improve their field recording, data archiving and processing techniques. Taking the needs of the workshop participants into consideration, we will focus on some of the topics included in the following list. Depending on the size of the enrollment, we might organize consultation sessions targeted at individual projects. For this purpose, it would be most useful for the participants to bring well-defined projects, project ideas involving audio materials, and/or specific audio needs. Potential topics:
Audio recording device specifications (recorders, microphones, and peripherals)
Microphone placement under a variety of recording conditions
Making and exporting time-linked transcriptions and other analyses
Internet-based transcription techniques
Digitization of legacy analog recordings
Shopping audio equipment
The overall aim is to be able to make and process the highest quality possible recordings within one’s constraints, to be able to capture, preserve, and make use of analog and digital audio recordings.
Note: Participants are also encouraged to bring their own recording equipment and/or recordings. A few recording devices will also be available on-site.
