sound practical 2

• Adobe audition cs6 open 

•          Open the sound we were sent from the C drive

•   Height = amplitude
•  Try not to go above -3 on the right side scale
•  Preview bar at the top of the page
• Can scale the bar to zoom in
•  Left and right channels left on top and right underneath
•   Play bar moves along the sound when you click play 

 We zoomed into the sound so that we could see the part we were are about to remove, click and drag over the part of the sound you want to delete, then hit delete to remove it.

By removing this unwanted audio you decrease the file size and make the sound trigger straight away. 

 Repeating this technique I removed all of the blank sections of this audio.

 Effects

Adding reverb

• Go to effects 

•  We changed the reverb pre-set
• If you turn up the delay time the room the sound is coming from will appear bigger
• Dry= original sound
• Wet= the change

Reverse

·         Go to effects and chose reverse, this will reverse the sound.

·         Red markers at the bottom of the sound show that your sound goes over 0

·         We added reverb and then reversed it again to create a creepy sound.

Echo

·         Going to echo pre-set we changed which frequencies came back after the original sound had passed.

Stretch and pitch

·         Go to effects and go to stretch and pitch,( the stretch stretches the sound out slowing it down, this effect makes the voice appear to be slow and delayer.

The pitch section changed the height of the sound; this makes the person appear to have ether a squeaky voice at a high pitch or a deep voice at lower pitch.

Parametric equaliser

·         Go to filter and EQ and select parametric equaliser

·         The higher pitches are on the right and the lower pitches are on the left

·         by clicking on the points you can alter which pitches can be heard (for example you can make the person appear to be on the telephone) 

Using the techniques we have been show I made him sound like a chicken.

Cutting up the audio

·         I highlighted and coped certain sections of the audio that I wanted to put together to create a new sentence.

·         After copying a line of audio I went over to the files section- right click-new- audio file.

·         When the new audio file was open I pasted the sound I just copied into it.

·         I then repeated this process until I had all the sounds I wanted to mix together.
