Project 1 Exercise 3: Sound Design

We are given tutorial video and sample to try and then work on 4 different sounds which are:

Punch 

Fig 3.1 Chose stretch and pitch 

 

Fig 3.2 Punch stretched 

Right here, I have added the reversed part of punch and put it in front to create a 'swoosh' effect. Before this, I have chosen the stretch and pitch function to create the yellow clip which is longer and creates a great punch sound. The purple clip is being adjust to a deeper tone. 

Alien voice

Fig 3.3 Modulation function 

By using modulation, I chose flanger and I was playing around with the effects to find the one that I'm satisfied with.

Reflection 

In this project, I have learnt a lot about audio. I never thought that you could create sound by combining different sounds and you gain a new sound. I enjoyed doing audio dubbing a lot because of the visual and also it was my first time recording audio and syncing to a video. A plus point for having a deeper voice as a girl is I get to voiceover a male character. 

I got exposed to designing sound which I have never imagined how cool it is. The pitches and tunes are easy to adjust, and everything is clear cut but I believe the toughest part will be coming.
