Audio Components

The Music

I chose the song Living in the Country by The Spectacular Fantastic. Baseball boys are known for liking country music, so this song is something I feel would be playing at a practice or tournament.

The Noise

My noise is just the loud air conditioner in my room. You can clearly hear it at the beginning and end when I'm not talking, but it's still audible during my speaking.

Without the Noise

This is my edit without the noise. I will admit removing the worst of the fan does make my voice sound a little quieter than I'd like but I guess its better than the fan. However, if you're smart and actually pay attention when you record real audio you won't need to edit annoying noises out of it.

Audio Without Effects

So this is my audio before I've done any effects on it. It's just some random audio from my multiple takes at the voice over for my podcast.

Audio With Effects

This is my audio with effects on it. I went with the preset Clean Up and and Level Voice Over. It has denoise, speech volume leveler and hard limiter. This is a pretty basic preset that I think is actually useful rather than playing with presets I'll probably never touch. The Denoise helps to remove any excess noises, the volume leveler brings up my quieter moments and makes them sound closer to my louder words, and the limiter brings down the high levels so that I don't go above acceptable levels.

Foley Noise

This is my Foley sound effect. I used the wrapper from silverware and crinkled it up and let it expand back out. It's supposed to sound like someone walking or moving around on a forest floor.
