Audio – MMP 100 Spring 2025

Audio Project Jasmines Prayer Final

Spring 2025

Audacity/ English

My piece tells the story of a woman who, on a dark and rainy night, cries out to God, longing to feel the presence of the Holy Spirit and reconnect with herself. By morning, her heart is touched, and her worries have transformed into sweet surrender. I combined five audio samples, four beats and one original song titled “Alter Call,” performed by my cousin Jasmine Tiamfook and written by me. I used sound effects to create an atmospheric mood and blend the rain with the vocals. The most challenging part was syncing the audio with the video in Premiere Pro, which I overcame by using time stamps and carefully aligning each sound with patience.

Audio Project

“Headed home from the Jazz bar” Spring 2025

AudioprojectFINAL Download

(My audio file was not able to fit in open lab as a playable media, hence the download option, sorry!)

Made with Audacity.

For my final audio project, the place I decided to depict was a Jazz bar because they have a charming ambiance. The listener is sat at a table before walking out and leaving. I used seven audio samples in total. First using the volume adjuster and clipping the first five tracks where I wanted them. On my second edit I added another track, the walking and door foley effect. I used filters and effects in this edit as well; the fade out, low-pass filter, echo, and reverb. I finalized my mix using the automation tool to add final touches, smoothing out transitions and fades, and leveled the volume where needed. I decided to add a final track at this time to add more heel clicks/stepping sounds when the listener “leaves the bar.” The most challenging part of this project was finding audio clips that fit my vision and then trimming them to sound how I wanted.

Audio update with effects

(Blog Post 4)

For my audio updates, I made use of the effects and filters. I used a low-pass EQ filter on the end of the track to sound like the person/listener has walked into another room. I also used an echo effects as well on the first track. Lastly, I used the fade out effect on ends of all the tracks as well to make it more realistic.

Audio Edits (Blog post 3 revised)

I previously did the audio project incorrectly so I am revisiting it.

For my audio, I wanted to depict a Jazz bar/club. I used Audacity to edit and compose, and I used five different audios. I used two different tracks of people talking to add depth and blended them together by adjusting the EQ and volume. I also used two different foley effects of glasses clinking and pouring to add to the setting sporadically throughout the track.

Audio with effects

This is the updated version of my project with effects. I used echo, reverb, and fading to make the city noises even more realistic and enhance the overall atmosphere. These effects help create a more immersive experience, making the sounds feel more natural and dynamic.

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.

Portrait of a place – Finale

“My favorite place”

Spring 2025

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.
