Assignment

• Take a sound of more than 2 seconds duration (from previous exercises, record a new one, find one online...)

• Imitate this sound by using a different sound as the material. eg transplantation of the "materiality" of sound 2 on the time course of sound 1

  • Example: You have a recording of a zipper and another recording of a windshield wiper. Now you try to mimic with the recording of the zipper the sound of the windshield wiper.

Procedure

Step 1

• Select the target sound and material sound

• Focus on the temporal course of the volume and build it up (editing, volume editing)

• Use pitch and time correction to further adjust the sound

Step 2

• Use the parametric EQ and PitchShift to further adjust the frequency spectrum

• Also experiment with reverb and delay

Step 3

• Use automation envelopes for detailed editing

• Export / Render the sound in wav / aiff, 48khz / 24bit, mono
