response to assignment 1B

Assignment 1b was extremely fun and interesting for me.  I had some experience in sound design and editing, which is what I want to do for a career, but I had never done it in a collaborative setting before.  Working creatively with someone else on a soundscape was a completely new experience.  I think one of the biggest things I learned was that working with someone else forces you to slow down.  Normally when I edit I get “in the zone” and plow through it.  Taking the time to listen to someone else’s suggestions not only made me sit back and take breathers, but slowing down helped me to concentrate more, and to be able to analyze my own work as we were making it.
