In this projected we used an impulse signal to convolve a piece of audio. This creates a sound that resembles what it would sound like if it happened where the impulse single was recorded.
The first impulse response I have was recorded in Porter Hall near the entrance on Frew St. Here the ceiling is curved creating a stretched out dome. There is also a hallway on either side that has a similar ceiling which creates a long echoing effect. It was created by recording the sound of a balloon popping. Then I normalized the sound and passed it into the max patch we were provided with.
The second impulse signal was recorded using the same method between the Resnik and West Wing buildings. At this location there are curved wall on each side which create an echoing effect.
The the third and fourth impulse responses are not actual impulse responses. The third “Impulse Response” is a police siren. I thought this would sound more interesting but it just sounds like a siren that is echoing.
The fourth is a recording of thunder I found online. This caused the voice in the convoluted recording to sound booming as if a higher being is talking to you.
