Blog Post 4 – My Audio Project

Update: I changed some sound effects to compose a commute. I added the tempo effect to differentiate between sounds. And I used the fade in and fade out effects to transition between sounds.

Audio Project: Jazz Bar

“Jazz Bar”, Spring 2025, Logic Pro X.

Mahina Onekea

For my project I wanted to depict a Jazz bar, I picked this setting because the noisy ambience was the first thing that came to mind, and Jazz bars are a staple of New York. I used Logic Pro X by Apple to edit this since I already have it. I used five different audios, and added a slight echo effect to the Jazz music to make it seem like it was playing in a large room. I used two different tracks of people talking and blended them together by adjusting the EQ. I also used two different foley effects of glasses clinking and pouring to add to the setting sporadically throughout the track.

Audios used:

Gossip Café | First Audio Edit

This is my first audio project using Audacity! I just made up some random skit, I voice acted couple of annoying girls interacting and walking around the street and into a café. I enjoyed making this a lot and going through the different free sounds!

Portrait of a Place

“My favorite place”

Spring 2025

Audacity

I decided to capture a day spent locked away in my room composing. I wanted to highlight the little things I usually try to avoid while recording—like the city noise, the squeaky chair, the clicking of mouse and keyboard, the metronome ticking, and the brush of the microphone. It starts with the sound of the guitar being tuned and a door closing, marking the moment I shut myself off from the world. Then, you’ll hear the sound of a pencil on paper, the way I prefer to write lyrics. The song playing is a draft of one of my own, which I’ve chopped up to mimic the process of adding and removing effects as I edit the demo. Welcome to my favorite place in the world!

My First Audio Edit

This is my first audio edit so far. My theme here is video games, and what I did is that I created some video game audios from different sources.

My first audio edit

My first audio edit ever. I decided to create a scene, a feeling of walking through a bustling city. I used many different sounds to create an immersive atmosphere, capturing the energy and movement of urban life.
