On class Friday Professor Riley talked about audio equipment. The first equipment Professor Riley brought out was a Fender Passport System. One thing that was really cool about the Fender Passport System is that it is a small portable PA system, which contains everything you need packed in a small package, which makes it very self contained and it is fairly light weight too! This can be useful when I have to use a PA system for a marching band, the Fender Passport System would be perfect for this use, because its easy to travel with and it is not too difficult to set up.
Another tip that Professor Riley told us was that when a singer is checking the microphone they need to actually use their singing voice not just their normal voice, because that's not how they would sing, so the adjustments would not be correct. Another interesting audio equipment device that Professor Riley showed us was the Korg Nanokey. This was pretty cool because it is a small keyboard that can be hooked up to an computer and it can take the place of the big Casio keyboards, because really students would use the keyboards maybe a couple times a year and the Korg Nanokey would take up less desk space. The downside of the Korg Nanokey is that it feels like a cheap computer keyboard and does not feel like a regular keyboard, but it can get the job done.
During the last part of the class Professor Riley was talking about how to make a finance log for the equipment you have to buy for your classroom. So for our next assignment we have to make a finance log for our fake class so that we can get used to how to make one in the future.
