Ringtone Project

I just uploaded my files for the ringtone project. It was pretty fun recording different sound. I definitely began to appreciate music concrete a lot more. It made you think about the sounds around you that are always present but you may usually ignore.

I also became familiar with Logic and Spear. I really enjoyed play with speeding up and slowing down the clips so the pitches were dramatically changed.

My continuous clip was of a bathroom sink running. I mainly used Spear to cut out certain frequencies so that it was a constantly changing sound

For the repeat ringtone, I used coins rattlign in a cup. A did a lot more editing for this. I used a slowed clip, then the normal speed clip, then a sped up clip. I used fade in and outs as well to transition between the sections.

One thing I found particularly useful was silencing and normalizing. I would slightly silence the loud parts of the clip and then normalize so everything would be louder and there would be no clipping.

My clips are posted below:

You just need to put in a code and then wait a few second for it to download
