(Partial recordings of various sounds) Complete Sound Recording Google Drive : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1oRjZ4eskxMJQToYxgLy6DCf3REouA-sf?usp=sharing Sound Editing on Adobe Audition - Friction sound by the plastic hair curler, edited into electric buzzing sound effect by adding flanger > jimmy. - Alloy pins dropping sound, edited into coin sound. I edited the electric sfx ver 1 (softer) and electric sfx 2 (louder) to sync with the video first before adding other sounds to it as it makes it easier. Bandlab : I decided to create some atmospheric sound music to complement to the game surrounding theme, a bit of mysterious and horror feel. Virtual Instruments used : Organ, Pan Flute, Piano Exporting the bandlab recording to wav. Bandlab laye...

Sonic Design Project 2 : Audio Storytelling

Sonic Design Name : Chan Huei Lian (0351597) Sonic Design | Bachelor of Design in Creative Media | Taylor's University Assignment 2 : Audio Storytelling INSTRUCTIONS PROGRESSION Week 9 Folklore chosen : Hansel & Gretel Script Version 1 PDF : Week 10 Recording : I recorded the narration and dialogues in my room with my phone's voice recorder app and my earphone. After the recording is done, I converted the m4a files into wav files before compiling them into adobe audition for editing.  Editing : I manipulated the EQ, and also put in noise reduction process to reduce the noise. I also minimise the breathing sounds and background noise when in between sentences. The only part that I could not get rid of is the mic hissing sound when I pronounced letters such as 'b', 'p' etc.  For the witch laughing sound, I also add in some reverb to make it more eerie and dramatic. After editing the voice recordings, I added in bgm and some sfx such as forest ambience, door, d...

Home Invasion. First Idea - Baking at Home After Work First Ideation consultation : After looking at my ideation, Mr Razif commented that the sequence of task seems ok, but also think about the atmosphere sound, for instance, what's happening around her. Whats happening around her? - a pet cat walking around and meowing - aircond sound. - maybe a fireplace? - faint clock tick tocking - phone notification sound Second Idea - Home Invasion (chosen) I found a youtube tutorial on the basics of mulitrack session in adobe audition that teaches how to manage multitracks and also cut tracks. Progression Screenshot I found myself using mostly audio panning, cutting and some simple editing of parametric equaliser,...

Sonic Design Name : Chan Huei Lian (0351597) Sonic Design | Bachelor of Design in Creative Media | Taylor's University Task 1 : Sound Fundamentals INSTRUCTIONS LECTURE Week 1 Mr Razif briefed us about the introduction to sonic design and the tasks that would be needed to be accomplished throughout the semester. Adobe Audition will be the main software for this module. The key to good sound design in films is to be detailed oriented. For final project, we can choose between doing game sound or silent movie.  Week 2 Mr Razif gave a lecture about the fundamentals of sound concept. Properties of Sound - pitch - loudness (bit depth) - timbre : the quality of sound. (for instance, 2 different brands of guitar with the same string would sound different) - perceived duration : fast-paced, slow-paced or in moderation. (menotrome, biological rhythm : heartbeat) - Envelope : determine the shape of sound.  - spatialisation : sense of location, distance, left or right of microphone, or mak...
