For this portion of the "Fix and Mix" we had to remove the noise, while still keeping the vocals.

Another portion of the "Fix and Mix" project that we had to include was raising the volume of this audio. 

Spizzirri Normalize 01

The final portion of this "Fix and Mix" was to mix sound clips together, having it be at least 30 seconds long. 
For this part, I wanted to go for an infomercial kind of feel. Maybe one for a work out dvd. I uploaded audio's I thought were fitting. The audio's I used from the list were, voice over, whambam, fuzibeat, and laugh. I left the voice over clip the same, but changed the other clips up a bit. For the whambam clip, I added a crossfade towards the end. For the fuzibeat clip, I also added another crossfade, but I also added an echo to it, which extended the audio a bit. For the laugh audio, I distorted it a bit.

For this project I wanted to capture what it sounded like going through my day. These tracks were recorded on seperate days, but made to sound like it was the same day. It starts with me making my coffee and what I do when I wake up, and goes through my entire day until I go home. I wanted it to have a natural feel to it, as if it was recorded in the same day even though it wasn't.

For this project we had to create a Foley video. There were many sounds that went into creating this. We started with the door opening/closing and the noise for the birds. For the door opening we figured that the squeeky corner on the microphones worked the best. For the door closing we just simply slammed the table. For the bird noise we used Patrick's ocarina. As for the rustling noise, we used the fake grass that came with the ocarina. When it came to stepping in the crunchy grass, we used a paper bag that worked nicely. When it came to the water flowing/stepping in water, we simply used water in a bowl for that noise. The snorting horse noise was Patrick's voice. We figured it would be best to just use one of our voices compared to trying to find something that mimics a horse voice. This also applied to when we recorded the wind noises; those were also our voices. The object we decided to use for the bird's wings flapping was just paper! We felt it gave off the best wing impression.The chewing noise was also our voices. When it came to the character almost slipping on a rock, one of us manually acting that out, having the mic close by.The panting/breathing out noise that was used was Patrick's voice. Since the character is a male, we figured his voice would fit best for those sound effects. Finally, when it came to the open air noises, we all recorded our voices and overlayed them, to make them sound like real wind. 

Spizzirri Foley

This track I gave a more upbeat feel, as if you were winning a video game. The key of this track feels more happy compared to the lose theme I created.


Spizzirri Win Theme 01

For this track I wanted to give it a video game like feel, as if you were losing a video game. I wanted to keep it simple while having an authentic game feel.

Spizzirri Lose Theme 01

This track I wanted to give a "scary" feel. After creating this, it reminded me a bit of Super Mario, or a similar video game. I wanted to give this track a familiar, 8-bit scary theme feel.

Spizzirri Scary Theme 01

This is a sadder track I created. I wanted to give it a sad feel, maybe someone in the video game lost someone, or the conversation took a sad turn. That's the kind of feel I wanted to go for.

Spizzirri Sad Theme 01

For my final I decided to do a sound profile of making popcorn. Especially during this time of year, it's very hectic. Popcorn reminds me of relaxation and I wanted to feel a glimpse of that before finals are over.
