For this assignment I chose the classic “Toms Diner” as my original signal, given its long history of being used to test compression as well as for mixing sound systems. This is not the exact recording, but I have no way of hosting the original MP3 without it being removed for copyright reasons.

For my traditional signals I wanted to find more acoustically interesting spaces around campus. First I chose the stairwell in the CUC, I have always loved the echoes in that space. I also felt the new locker rooms would be an interesting space. I thought they would be more reverberant than they were however.

For my third recording  I thought ambiance might create a cool effect. I tried recording is starbucks but the background music kind of ruined what I was going for, so I just sat at the blackchairs in the CUC and recorded the space.

For my final recording I chose a flushing toilet, I thought the gurgling of the water and the tons of little peaks and valleys could create a cool effect.

Below is a playlist of all recordings produced. First the IR is played, and then after is the original signal convolved with that IR. For time sake only the first verse was run through the system.
