Today I visited the museum again with Jarrad Salmon, audio engineer supreme from the Sydney Conservatorium to consider whether we can use the audio gear that is already installed on the vessels, or not.

Jarrad’s involvement on the project is important because while I’ve been refreshing my sound design skills recently, sound designed in my studio and recorded at the Conservatorium will still need to be mixed and mastered not just for the space where it will be played back but also for the equipment it will be played back on. That’s the kind of expertise Jarrad has.

We discovered that the equipment that’s on the vessels won’t support the kind of immersive, emotive, surround audio that I’m imagining, so we’ll now need to look at what the ideal equipment would be, and compare that with budget, striking a midway point hopefully!
