Sound Effects

Sean had managed to get us time in the media building and in the sound booths so we could make our sound effects. We where tourt how to use the basic of Cubebase and rocording equipment. I worked with Bron and Jo to make sound effects and music for all three of our films.
I took to understand Cubebase more then the others so I did all the technial things like the seting up of cannels and the recording. Firstly we worked on Jo's, her peice is set out of this world so she wanted other worldly music, and not really any sound effect as her peice is set in space they wouldn't be any. We created her music by using the MIDI keyboard, this meant we could get any sound we really wanted and warp it and tune it in Cubebase. We brought up I copy of Jo's animatic and Bron played along to what she saw. I recorded it.
The next week we all worked on Brons sounds, she wanted the sound of a drum kit falling down so we all had great fun hitting things and recording them and layering them up to make the sound required. I had the great honer of being the scraping noise Bron needed as we record me being draged across the room sat on a chair. I also played the drum for Bron peice. This was because I new some one who is doing muisc tec at uni so has all the recrding equirment and plays the drums.
We then got onto recording sounds for my peice. A lot of the bird noises where found on BBC sound CD's but we had some fun recording the pecking and pigeon walking noise. I had took in some gravel and we used different things to try and get different pecking sounds, even chop sticks at one point.
