The next assignment I chose to do was a 4 star assignment called Create a Place. This assignment asks us to create a place just by using sound. I was really confused on which place I should mention, because it’s quite hard to create a place using just sounds. So I decided to create a place that everyone is familiar with, based on one of the worst incident in United States. I created the place New York. I wanted to create this place as a tribute to the people who lost their lives in the 9/11 attack. I decided to create this places using very little sounds, but familiar sounds. Listen to the audio and let me know if you can figure out if it’s New York or not.
Step 1: Download the traffic noises
Step 2: Download voices of people talking
Step 3: Download sounds of an airplane and a blast
Step 4: Import all of the audio’s to Audacity
Step 5: Set the order on how each sound should be audible
Step 6: See if all of the sounds are clearly audible
Step 7: Save it as MP3!
Note: All of the sounds that you want to download can be available for free at FreeSound.
This one goes hard. You did a good job at hitting the ‘randomness’ of certain highlight sounds. I didn’t feel like there was a real rhythm to be discerned, which can happen inadvertently when editing this like this. Cities are terrible.
That audio track sounds super realistic. I can really get the feel of New York from the traffic sounds, even though I have not been to New York before.
