Week 1 Forum - BCST 135

This is the first forum and you are required to participate in them each week (for points!). Sometimes I'll post a question or an idea for you all to discuss and sometimes it will be to read something and then answer a question publicly to the entire class so that discussion may ensue.

For your first forum posting, please introduce yourself and share with us your favorite audio recording and why. (It can be a music recording or a certain radio show or podcast episode, etc.) 5 points for 10 sentences or more.

Read your classmates' postings and respond to at least two.
(This will net you 2 extra points!)

Here is a sample posting:

Hi class! My name is Danielle. I am studying Cinema while I work part-time as a travel copywriter for a magazine. When not working or studying, I like to make short films/videos of funny life situations and post them on YouTube. I want to learn more about how to capture and edit audio for my videos since that seems to be the biggest issue with my online offering. I can never get the sound to be clear!

My favorite audio recording is "Kashmir: Symphonic Led Zeppelin", recorded in 1997 and featuring the London Symphony Orchestra. It is an amazing piece of music as is the original rockin' song by Led Zep. It's incredibly inspirational and quite dramatic! I like when music can take you places in your mind which is my favorite way to relax. Put on a pair of good headphones and let the melodies and lyrics whisk me away.

Warning: If you generally need longer than 5 minutes to compose your response, it is best practice to compose your response in Notepad or TextEdit (or some other text editor) and then copy and paste it into your response here. Why? If you are inactive for longer than 5 minutes (on average) your browser may time you out (and you'll lose your work). THAT is very frustrating. It's happened to me and I couldn't believe that everything I had typed was completely lost. angry
