The point of this assignment was to create a place using only sound effects. For this process, I went to FreeSounds which is a free-use platform with thousands of user generated sounds.

For one of my Audio Assignments this week, I decided to record and upload my own sound to Freesound, a free sound sharing platform. The assignment said to pick a sound that I thought was lacking from the website. I was inspired by my dad making us dinner. I heard him frying up some burgers … Continue reading "Burgers?"

For my final assignment, worth 4 stars, we had to create a place using only sounds. Normally I would have used freesound.org but since I had used a different site, Tabletop Audio, before, I elected to use that, since their sound effects are very high quality.

The quote above was part of a joke done by Michael Rosen, but it felt fitting for my second assignment worth 4 stars, where we had to remix a song without using any original sounds. Like I said in my first assignment, I’ve always enjoyed the music from games, and when I heard Vega’s Theme […]

I absolutely love music, so this assignment was right up my alley. The idea of simplifying your favorite song to just the instrumental version is such a cool concept. By taking away the vocals of the song, I heard different parts in the instrumental version that I never caught in the original. It was very … Continue reading "Mystery Music"
