Lectures

Week 4 

Hard sound is sound that can been seen like dialogue and stepping.

Ambient sound is the background sound such as aircon, typing, drinking.

Apply a slight ambient overlap with fade-in and fade-out transitions to ensure smooth and seamless audio between scenes.

Pitch tuning:

1. Premier Pro > Audio Effect > Pitch Shifter > Semi Tones

2. Throw the recording in the audio

3. Adjust the sound tone high and low to change man and women voice

Week 8

To change the voice in one type of voice by using Adobe Audition.

1. Create new file in Adobe Audition is File > New > Multitrack session

2. Add effect is 

• Effect Rack > Filter and EQ > Parametric Equalizer
• Effect Rack > Reverb > Reverb

3. Phone call sound: Parametric Equalizer ( Make BASS, TREBLE down and raise MID)

4. Muffles sound: Parametric Equalizer ( BASS remain, TREBLE to the bottom and raise MID RANGE to top)

5. Reverb sound: Apply REVERB

Decay time: Specifies how many milliseconds the reverb takes to decay 60 dB. Longer value give longer reverb tails.

Pre-Delay Time: Specifies how many milliseconds reverb takes to build to its maximum amplitude.

Perception: Simulated irregularities in the environment.

Dry: To add subtle spaciousness, set the Dry percentage higher; to achieve a special effect, set the Dry percentage lower.

Wet: To add subtle spaciousness to a track, keep the Wet percentage lower than the Dry percentage.

Project 1 Exercise 1: Audio Dubbing

Group 

1. Watch everything, everywhere all at once. After that check the video and dialogue

2. We do Spreadsheet in a group that we collect all the scene, duration, dialogue, sound effect, and ambience sound that need to use for the video. 

Spread sheet

3. We mainly use source from Pixabay and Freesound to find the suitable audio sound.

Self editing

4.  Record dialogue with phone and transfer to computer.

5.  Record dialogue with phone and transfer to computer.

Reflection

Exercise 1 was challenging for me, especially when syncing the dialogue with the video due to the fast speech that I have to recode again and again and matching the tone consistently. However, it was enjoyable experience and a valuable learning opportunity.

For exercise 2 it is interesting and new to me because I didn't use Adobe Audition before. It was fun that I learn parametric equalizer and reverb to change adjust sound and create different the environment effect.
