Adobe Audition

Inside My Room…Online is an audio representation of my bedroom when I’m using the internet, typing, editing my youtube video , and responding to alerts. I choose this location because, although it is physically calm, it is mentally overwhelming, mirroring the pressure and chaos that the internet brings into even private settings. I used volume automation, fades, and slight overlapping to increase the intensity of different audio samples: room tone, city ambiance, typing, phone notifications, and layered vocal fragments. The hardest challenge was striking a balance between the noises so they were captivating without being overpowering, which I achieved by progressively adding layers of audio and including quiet passages at the conclusion.

The listener is grounded in a peaceful environment as the audio opens with a gentle city atmosphere heard through a window. As the audio continues, a sense of digital overload is created by the layering and overlapping of typing, notifications, and fragmented ideas. A single, distinct moment of control and silence is left when the commotion suddenly stops, resolving the soundscape.

EVERYTHING WAS RECORDED BY ME

In this edit i added layered whispering, changed volume, added city ambience, and static.

Inside My Room…Online is going to be about an audio representation of my bedroom when I’m using the internet, typing, editing my youtube video , and responding to alerts.

I mainly knew I wanted to incorporate storytelling in some way into this project, I also can’t wait for winter break so I can play skyrim (I’ve banned myself from even looking at my PC/consoles) so I took some light inspiration from the intro scene, with the horse, and then I thought rain would add some nice ambiance. My arch-nemesis in Skyrim is most definitely the Trolls so I decided to incorporate that as well. Most of the sounds I used came from Freesound while browsing. I ended up using 7 sound samples and then I created my own voice over. I am quite monotone and stuffed up because I HAVE BEEN SO SICK but I really enjoyed the process and find my audio hilarious, my friends have also been getting a kick out of it. So everyone, please enjoy the character getting wrecked by a troll as I narrate.

Fireworks in Brooklyn

Fall 2025

Adobe Audition

I wanted to reflect back on my experience of seeing the Macys Fireworks. As you can imagine, it’s a very hectic experience with the obvious loud fireworks, kids screaming and crying, people chatting and clapping every five seconds and of course you can’t forget the lovely sounds of New York City. I wanted my project to show the craziness of an event like the Macys Fourth of July fireworks. I used my own firework video that I recorded with my iphone and four audio samples from freesound.com. I played around with a lot of effects such as time and speed, compressing, reverb, the show envelopes, fade in and out, and panning. The most challenging part of the project was trying to get everything to flow and come together. To solve that, I just kept on adding and removing things when I saw fit until I got to my desired outcome.
