Portrait of a Place – Napping at the campsite.
Spring 2025
Edited in Audacity
Using audacity to mix a collection of samples together to create a short scene of camping. Layering the sounds of nature with cicadas, frogs, and a crackling fire to set the ambiance. With some feedback I added a few things to bring this from more of an ambiance focused track to an actual scene of events.
I used a few minor effects, mainly sound gate to clean up some of the audio. Fading to ease in some of the sounds and adjusting volume of individual clips. As well as clipping and spacing some of the sounds to space them out along the runtime of the project.
