The Sounds that move humans
Fall 2025
Adobe Audition
In my project I wanted to give a succinct history of the sounds that move humans. I started with the sounds of nature, wind, water, animals. An orchestra warm up follows. This illustrates the beginnings of humankind’s mastery of nature and the ability to use it to not only move them about world but in their minds as well. The following sounds showcased the rapid rise of how fast we can create new modes of transportation, so fast that humans will leave the Earth and that will be left is the wind. I used compression and a limiter as well as normalize to smooth out a lot of the engine sounds. I think the hardest thing about the project was what I wanted to achieve and I had to restart it a few time to achieve the sound I liked.

This is a much better edit, it’s more to the point and does a good job of introducing new sounds and mixing sounds together. Nice work.
