Ribs (recordings)

Okay kiddo, so you know how we have bones in our body, right? Well, we also have bones that protect our chest and organs inside like the heart and lungs. These bones are called ribs!

Now, sometimes people want to record sounds or voices around them. It's like taking a picture, but instead of seeing something, you can hear it later on. To do that, they use special microphones that can catch the sound and turn it into a digital file.

However, sometimes the sounds can be too loud or too soft for the microphone to pick up everything clearly. That's where the ribs come in! People have discovered that if they attach the microphone to the rib cage, it helps to capture the sound even more clearly.

The ribs act like a shield, protecting the microphone on one side and amplifying the sounds on the other. It's kind of like how a cup can make your voice louder if you talk into it, but with ribs, it works even better!

This technique is often used by musicians recording live performances or by filmmakers capturing sound effects on location. And that's how our little rib bones can help us capture sound recordings!
