Being away from home for the first time to become a natural at rock climbing

Nervous to go camping

for this assignment, students were required to edit a short recording of a person's speech by re-arranging it and keeping it natural as possible. I tried changing Steve Job's speech using Adobe Audition. 

GBDA 229 First Editing Exercise

By: Lihuan Mai(Paige), Xiaolin Qiu(Celine), and Anjelica Maglinao

For our headphone design project, we wanted to create a classroom environment where the listener of the headphones could hear their subconscious through the voice of an angel and a devil. The listener is put into a situation where she is deciding whether or not she wants to complete a class project ahead of time or procrastinate. The angel and the devil argue throughout the audio trying to convince the listener that she should take one of their sides. By using the Monopierce headphones throughout this design, we were able to create a binaural effect by using a variety of recording and editing techniques. We used two mics to create our recording as one mic was used for the left mono and the other one was for the right. We placed the two mics in a 90 degree angle. Paige recorded Celine and Anjelica for the angel and devil’s conversation, and recorded Anjelica making the typing sounds. We used the headphones to ensure that all these sounds had an obvious binaural effect as the sound is coming from  the left and right side of the headphone. 

For the editing part, we used the Doppler effect to apply what we have learned in a class lab. By using this effect, we used the MMultiBandHarmonizer to make the audio sound like things are moving from the far distance to a close distance. We also played around with the frequencies by including background music and classroom sound effects in a low frequency. However throughout the editing process, it was a challenge to figure out how to work the MeldaProduction plug-in with Adobe Audition. We have encountered a situation where some scratches in our clip would occur. But were we able to fix this by duplicating our final audio in Abeleton Live Intro into different tracks and record to ensure if there were any other noticeable scratches in the audio. 

 After creating our final audio, we were able to use the Senal headphones to compare as well as the computer’s speaker and the Sony speaker SRSX55B. As a result, both of the speakers aren’t able to play the binaural effect as you could hear it in the headphones. Overall, we found that this project was challenging but we learned a lot from it.
