Drift Assessment 1

The part that frustrated me the most on my first drift was the weather. I was under the impression that we were suppose to go out only once for the drift, so I went out thinking that whenever I went out the recording would be just fine. The problem was the temperature and the wind because they both were making it difficult to record quality sounds. The temperature was so cold that I had to really try and grit out the walk, which put me into a rush because my fingers kept feeling really numb when I would be trying to work with the MD recorder and it made me want to try and get the recordings as fast as possible. Also, I did not take into account how much the wind would get in the way of trying to get really deep, interesting sounds. I kept trying to amplify a particle object's sound I found interesting and a lot of them ended up getting messed up when a huge gust would blow past and distort the sound or it would peak and I would lose the good material. These problems were definitely aggravations while on my first drift.
