Audio Portrait Final

Title: I Hate School

Spring 2024

Software: Audacity

I decided to make a sound that goes over why I hate school. My focus was to use a recording I made on my guitar that’s layered with random sounds like people or crowds talking. The idea is that during school, I’m usually listening to music to drown out the noise of people talking because everyone honestly talks way too loud in the halls. I use automation, fade in’s, fade outs, reverb, delays, and I even did a method where I panned on snippet to the left ear without reverb, and other with reverb to the right ear and mismatched their timing a bit to give a cool effect. Overall, it was really fun!
