You can turn in your final project by any of the following methods:

• Upload your project to johndan.com using an SFTP client like FileZilla. Be sure to name your files or folders with something including your name and zip/compress folders into a single file.
• Email me your project if it’s small enough. Be sure to follow the file name/compressing instructions listed above.
• Drop off  your project in the Communication & Media office. Lorraine can put it in my mailbox.

Important: After you’ve turned in your project, email me to let me know

• Where you put your project,
• If it’s online, what the files is called,
• Anything else you want me to know that will help me grade your project (including things you spent a lot of time on that might not be obvious on first listen).

If I’ve loaned you any equipment, you can drop that off with Lorraine in the Communication & Media office.

Have a good break.

(Key note G# minor.)

If time: Splitting channels in Reaper (Manual pp. 278+)

“What is a decibel?” reading: Read up to the section titled “Logarithmic response, psychophysical measures, sons, and phons.” For the quiz (after break), you should understand the basics of how dBs are defined, be able to use logarithms to figure out differences in dB for power and for pressure, and understand why dB scales are often weighted. (You’ll be able to use the Windows calculator in scientific mode to work with logarithms and basic math as necessary.)

Discuss headphone test results and what they mean.

Clarkson needs someone (by early next week) to record their train whistle for a promo. They’re paying (although I don’t know how much); should take under an hour. Contact Julie Davis (davisju@clarkson.edu).
