Assignment 3 – Convolution

For my convolution, I recorded a brief statement using my microphone in my dorm.

I then created 4 impulse response recordings.

This impulse response is the sound effect for collecting a ring in the game “Sonic the Hedgehog.” It was obtained by extracting the sound effect from a youtube video using a conversion website. It was then normalized in audacity.

This impulse response is the first three notes to the Song of Storms from the Legend of Zelda series. It was recorded using the audio input of an EasyCap USB capture card, which was connected to a Nintendo Wii. The song was then played in game, in Legend of Zelda: Majoras Mask, and normalized in audacity.

This impulse was response was recorded under the UC overhang across from the entrance to entropy. To record it, I determined which spot seemed to have the most interesting acoustics, and placed a zoom in said spot. I then popped a balloon a few yards away, still under UC, and normalized the result in audacity.

This impulse response was recorded in Doherty Hall, outside the first floor elevator. To record it, I set a zoom h4n pro to record and placed it on a desk in the corner of the room. I then popped a balloon in the center of the room and normalized the recording in audacity.

Using these impulse response recordings, I convolved my original signal.
