"Sound engineering principles" could be a reference to my civil engineering background, but here I'm actually talking about "sound engineering", that is, working with audio recordings. In Lesson 2 here, check out an example of adding noise to a recording.
Why add extra noise to a recording?
If you're in a noisy environment and the noise suddenly stops, you notice, usually with a sigh of relief. If you record a person speaking in a noisy environment, which may be unavoidable, you have to find a way to make the background noise continuous when you edit that recording. This lesson provides a sample of such a situation. Click on the gray link below to listen.

Karen I. Westphalen, P.E. worked as a civil engineer for close to ten years. Now she has returned to her long-time passions of audio production and photography, to produce engaging website content for architecture, engineering, and construction firms. Among other things, this blog will feature slideshows about the reconstruction of the Sellwood Bridge in Portland, Oregon. See Blog Archive, right side, to find Sellwood Bridge posts.

Free History Lesson
The other day my friend and I were taking a day trip around the Columbia Gorge, and by chance, we stumbled across a collection of antique construction and logging equipment. Yay! It was sunny and I had my camera along - the perfect opportunity to 'geek out' and take all sorts of equipment photos. I don't think any of these machines will ever grade another roadway or haul another log, but it was fascinating to find them all.
