Audio Story Final Draft

Producing this audio track presented numerous challenges that had to be overcome to create an effective audio story. From my recording software to remembering the experience in detail, there was no end to the hardships. Reading over comments and critiques was a source of almost infinite insight on how to improve my project. Luckily, people seemed to come to the consensus that the idea was a good representation for my project. So, with that to calm my nerves, I began  reconstructing my project from the ground up. I started with a new recording of the story. Borrowing my friends Bose Studio Headphones, I believe I was able to correct the fuzzy audio that seemed to come from my computer recording software. Second, it was time to start adding the sound effects to enhance the story. The main concern from commenters was the volume and frequency of the effects. So, cutting some out, adjusting fade, and frequency of the effects. Not being able to find all the sounds I needed was an issue, so I improvised! Using the soundbites of marbles falling, glass shattering and a door breaking, a muscle car revving its engine and finally a city street; I was able to effectively emulate the sound of an ambush. After hours of editing all the sounds together to fit perfectly into place, I believed my project was done. And I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I did creating it!
