I used a mixture of the sounds we collected at Elizabeth Castle and also sounds that were collected by Sam, an audio producer.
When choosing what sounds I wanted to include in the multitrack, I had to look at what images were going to be presented so the sound matched. For example, for the image of the sea I used a sound effect provided by Sam of seagulls. Before I added the sounds to the multitrack, I edited them individually on the ‘waveform’. This is where I was able to cut down the sound, ‘clean’ it up and add effects such as echo.
I had to filter each sound to make sure they were ‘clean’. This involved removing and eliminating the background noises which I was able to do by using the ‘parametric equaliser’. Once I had edited each sound, I added them in to to the multitrack.
