jhueteso Assignment 3: Barks, flys & reverb

Original Audio:

The original audio used for this assignment is an extract of a Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. After the goblet chooses Harry’s name when he wasn’t eligible, Dumbledore inquires him:

(Mr. Potter wishes film’s Dumbledore was this chill)

Normal impulse responses:

Basketball Court:

Sound of a balloon popping in the UC Basketball court. Very nice reverberation from the large size of the room.

Lucky that no one was playing at the time
Output

Porter Hall’s staircase:

So, I really wanted to use a staircase. Hunt Library’s was off limits under risk of someone losing his job. I used Porter Hall’s staircase instead.

Output

Experimental Impulse responses:

Let’s get weird!

Fly buzzing:

I really hate the sound of insects flying next to my face, but I have to admit I like the result. I downloaded an audio file of a fly flying next to a microphone. In order to conserve some of the voice’s properties I used a very short snip and applied head fade in and fade out.

Output

The results sounds almost like the voice is whispering, Also, very creepy.

Dog barks:

This audio file has three dog barks, so obviously we are going to get three replicas of our initial signal.
