Sonic Design : Exercise 3

 Transforming Sounds: Exploring Audio Effects with Explosion and Punch Sounds

For the third exercise in our Sonic Design course, we were given two audio files: an explosion sound effect and a punching sound effect. Our task was to manipulate these sounds using various audio effects such as reverse, pitch adjustments, and more, in order to create unique new sounds, including explosions, fireworks, and a triple punch sequence.

Throughout this process, I learned how powerful tools like pitch shifting and reverse effects can be in transforming sounds into entirely different auditory experiences. For example, by adjusting the pitch, I was able to generate two completely distinct sounds from the same explosion. The reverse tool also came in handy to add an interesting twist to the audio.

One of the more challenging tasks was making the explosion sound resemble fireworks. I spent a lot of time tweaking various settings before finally achieving a sound that closely matched the effect of fireworks. It was a great learning experience in refining and experimenting with audio manipulation to achieve the desired results.
