Progress 4/26–5/09

In the past two weeks, I have added the final components to my senior project and displayed it in the IDM Showcase.

I created the sound effect of the monster dragging chains by recording myself shaking a set of keys and layering it on top of a royalty free recording of a chain. I then added ambient noise to give the sense of space. The ambient noise was collected from a royalty free recording (chain and noise recording linked below). I created the sound of the giant gate opening and closing by layering the recordings of my apartment door and my garage door.

I then configured the final output in the Audio Lab using the TotalMix software to route each track in my REAPER file to a specific speaker to convey the sense of the monster walking around the room.

I feel that I was able to recover very well from the unexpected pivot from the previous post, and I am very proud of how my project turned out.
