IM: Recording sound

To get sound for the map we used tascams, I had never really used one before but they were relatively easy to use. After getting permission it is easy enough just to press record and let it run (of course after selecting the correct gain etc.). In this way we collected many awesome events with different generes as well as ambient sound of the river, shopping mall and even the inside of the cathedral. Unfortunately some where too quiet to be heard however so they could be not included on the map.

After a sound is captured I cut it in Audacity (a sweet free program for audio editing) and adjusted the volume, it's then very easy to upload onto http://www.thinglink.com/ on which we used the map as the base image, similar to Toronoto's sound map, and using the same widget.
