Imagine worlds - Sounds

Along with our concept art we had to go out and record sounds we thought would be in our art or goes along with the theme. Only being allowed to go around college to record it was hard to record certain sounds without any background noise or even finding the right one. Some were more hard than others and we had to make the sound closest to it and then using Adobe Audition edit them.

Some sounds did not need any editing such as the cars and birds, the most I did with them was cut down some gaps. The siren was originally a phone ringing but using the distortion and pitch shift, I deepened the pitch and made it sound more like an ambulance but still an alarm. The last sound is a drone but its only 2 seconds as there was not much salvageable audio I could get from the recording.

 This is what the software looks like when you add in the audio, I couldn't get an image of the sounds I used so I borrowed one from Google. It was easy to tell what parts were the main sounds and what were background noises due to the level of spikes on screen.

This is what the pitch shifter options look like, I can move the button up and down to decide what pitch I want the sound to be at.

And lastly, the distortion grid. This also effected the speed of the selected sound I wanted to distort. It came in handy when editing the siren sounds.

Next time I would like to record more sounds but there wasn't many I could think of that would go with my concept art. I did like how the alarm turned out but I would still like more audio that I could edit more to turn it into a completely different sound.
