Imagined Worlds Sounds

For my imagined worlds project I needed to include some background sounds. Using recording equipment we went out around campus and had to find interesting sounds to use. We had to get creative with some of them - for example, hitting keys against a drainpipe to create metallic sounds. I gathered sounds such as wind, traffic and an electric hum.

Using Adobe Audition I individually edited the sounds. Some needed more editing than others. The wind, for example, didn't need much editing but the metallic sound did. I mostly used the effects tab to add elements like echo and reverb and to make the sounds sound far away in the distance. I then compiled these sounds in a multi track and made minor adjustments to the sound and cropping them. While these sounds did create the ambient sound I wanted, I also wanted the sound of an announcer on a speaker - to tie in to the dystopian setting. I downloaded some free sounds from the internet. I found a Russian announcement and decided to use that. I also found an electric buzz sound that I felt helped to reinforce the industrial theme.

Audition was an intuitive software to use and I did not have much trouble with it.
