SENSE OF PLACE: EDITING THE SOUND PROJECT

We edited the sounds we recorded using Pro Tools. At first we had complications on importing the sounds into Pro Tools. There was no sound whenever we imported them and this was because we had made an error when creating the session. We managed to correct it and got our sounds into Pro Tools.

Before we started editing we came up with a structure of how the sound should be like. We wanted to start with a busy area and then progress to a more quite place. Our plan was for it to start with the cafe, then west street, then the construction site, then the park and finally the church. As we started putting the sounds together, we noticed that we had missed some sounds in some of the locations like the construction site, west street and cafe. For the cafe and west street, we needed the sounds of people chatting to make it sound more like a busy public place. For the construction site, some of the sounds were too low and couldn't hear the different sounds made by the different machines.


Since a lot of sounds for the construction site were missing in, we ended up removing that location. We used the cafe, west street, park and the church.

Since this was our first sample of the sound project, I didn't like it very much because it some sounds were missing and it wasn't bringing out the idea of sense of place.
