Audio – MMP 100 Spring 2025

My final audio project

Bustling city.

I used audio mixing, fading in and out, a notch filter, and reverb to enhance the realistic feeling of being in a crowded city street. The music in the background represents what the person or character is hearing through their headphones, immersing us even more into the world.

My Final Audio Project

Channel 7 News Station by Richard Bygrave (Spring 2025):

I used Audacity to complete my Audio Project. A dream of mines when I was young was to be a News reporter, this dream came because of the movie I am imitating within the Script, “A Cloudy chance of meatballs”. I used 5 different sounds that came together to make up my project, these included two different audios to build the introduction sounds, I used a breaking noise sounds, and I have a background soundtrack that fades in at the end to signal the end of the audio. Lastly, I used my own voice to contribute to the project by being the News Reporter and the Weatherman. I think the hardest part of this project was having the creativity to figure out if I wanted to do it and if I even wanted to continue the project after hitting a writer’s block.

My Audio with Effects

This is my recorded audio from last week. I added a faster tempo to the beginning of my speech as well as to the end before the sound track plays. I wanted to add a bit of speed to these parts because I originally decided to slow it down for dramatic effect. I also adjusted the bass and tremble of my voice saying Breaking News, I think this added a cleaner effect to the overlapping voices.

“My favorite place”

Audacity

For the final version of this recreation of a day spent composing in my room, to add more realism to the editing process, I unified the voice sections into a single track and applied layering to adjust the vocal dynamics. I also added an extra instrumental track, edited with the same layering technique. Additionally, I used this tool to balance some incidental sounds that were too loud during the composition process for a more cohesive result.

Final audio project

for my final audio project I decided to go a bit more in depth about what’s comprised of MMA and some of the controversial factors summed up in a brief conversation.

My Final Audio

“A Day in Nature”

Spring 2025

Edited with Audacity

I used Audacity to set a scene of someone in the forest starting a fire after a day of rain. I used bird noises as they always chirp before the rain, then rain noises, and then after it clears the fire noises. I also added an owl to simulate nighttime and music to set the scene. I used ambiance reverbs on the music and owl, and added fading in and out to each sound. I adjusted some sound levels and used layering and mixing to the music and fire starting to make everything sound complete.

Dream Of Butterfly Cover | Final Audio Post

I had fun playing with Audacity, I would like to use it for more projects! I added some more EQ and echo effects to specific parts of my vocals to give more of that spacey feel in the original Japanese song.

Video Game Audio Project

So, for my audio project I did a video games theme. What I did was combine different video games audios into different levels, with a levels sound effect, and use a couple of sound audio effects

Final Project

Spring 2025

MMP 100 Audio Project

For my final edit of my audio I finally fixed one of the background audios that went on longer than the other audios that I did not catch early on. I also tried to go for a more hyper-pop type of sound for this audio but it did not come out that way so instead I tried to go for a more overwhelming + overstimulating sound. I changed the volume for my third audio, making it loud in the beginning but then having it go lower as the audio goes on because I did not want to make it sound too unpleasant to listen to. The sound did not change much because I did not want to go too off the rails from the way it initially sounded.
