Soundwalk Practice

In Session 2 of the course, as well as continuing to further my abilities of editing sound, I was able to go out and record the sound that I was going to use. In the class we were put into groups and given a Marantz Digital Audio Recorder and told to go out and record a sound-walk (A recording of the environment and what is going on around you). We did exactly this, we recorded sounds such as us walking down stairs, through co-op and the noises of a lift. After we had all of our recorded footage we headed back to class to edit different sounds from the sound-walk together. My group and I chose to edit different sounds into a song; we used the sound of steps as a build up, which then lead into a bleeping noise from co-op into a drop that we created of various other noises. After we had finished editing it sounded quite professional and we were very happy with what we had created.
