CC1 - Week 3 - Sound editing

This week we were to expand on our paper noises by using a programme called 'S.P.E.A.R.'. We were to edit our sounds and make them sound completely different and re-submit them. I decided to do this on my PC as i wanted to have something on my computer that i could actually use instead of requiring a Mac. Here is the list of changes i made to each sound:

Laura's Throw:
I usd a number of different thing as this was the first sound i edited. I used the frequency shift, the time stretch, i transposed it up 9 semitones and i also cleared sections using the lasso selection.

Laura's Fast Rip:
Again i used quite a few different applications to make this sound different. These included transposing it up 12 semitones, changing the frequency, time stretching it, and using the time offset.

Laura's Rips:
This one was quite easier than the other two as i just used to lasso to clear some bits and changed the frequency which changed the sound completely.

Laura's Shake:
This was pretty much a mix of everything. The lasso was used, as well as the time shift, frequency shift, time stretch and clearing of certain sections.

Laura's Slow Tear:
I was a bit creative with this one. Using the rectangular sectioner i made checkers out of the sound waves and cleared the selected section. This made, i believe, quite an interesting sound as compared to what i started with.

Overall, i found this exercise very interesting as i was able to play around with the sounds i had made the previous week and change them into completely new sounds. Apart from fun it was also quite simple.
