Sound Design

• Excerpt from 1st Christian Church's 2003 Easter Service: For this project, the actors were recorded, as were the "clay jars" sound effects, the wind was obtained from a sound-effects CD and extended because it was too short, some effects were added to the angel's voice, and the whole thing was mixed down to a stereo CD for the service.

• '80s Medley: For this project, the client wanted pieces of several '80s songs assembled into a unit, with a particular drum riff as the "glue." These songs were of several different styles, keys, and tempos, and the end result--to be the soundtrack for a dance number--had to maintain timing and cadence (the downbeats had to match) so the dancers didn't have to re-sync with the music every time a new clip started. Here is that assemblage, with the bulk of the songs removed, so you can hear just the transitions.

• Buffalo Stampede: This example is from the mid '90s: I was required to come up with a buffalo-stampede sound effect. Not having one, I created it by doing the following:
  1. Took a shod-horse-on-cobblestones sound effect and sent it through a lowpass filter several times to remove high frequencies; this made it sound more like unshod hoofbeats on dirt.
  2. Copied and pasted the newly-created, but short, hoofbeats-on-dirt sound effect into a longer one, ensuring seamless joints and continuity of cadence.
  3. Faded the long sound in at the beginning, and out at the end, making it sound like an individual buffalo was approaching, rushing past, and then receding.
  4. Duplicated the approach-and-recede sound effect multiple times and slightly stretched or compressed each waveform a bit to make the buffaloes sound like they were not all running in unison. This completed the foreground sound.
  5. To create the background roar of a huge of herd of stampeding buffaloes, I took two other sound effects: a "deep underwater" sound, to provide the low-frequency rumble, and a waterfall sound, to provide the high-frequency "white noise" that would be caused by all the pebbles, sticks, and underbrush that would be dislodged and thrown about by the thundering hooves.
  6. Composited all of the above together, and added a bit of ebb and flow to account for random variations in the buffalo herd's density from one point to another, the final mix was faded in--as the herd approached--and faded out--as the herd receded.
  The result of the above was a convincing-sounding buffalo stampede storming past on the 19-century American plains.
