Third Day of Recording Sound Dub

23/11/19 – The aim for today was to record the sounds for the firework the drums for the backing track. In order to replicate the firework, I used a inflated balloon and pinched the neck whilst pulling the sides horizontally away from one another. This created a high pitched, screech like sound thus creating the desired effect. However, through this method we could not replicate the pitch bend made from a firework, only a monotonous high-pitched noise. We then decided that in order to get the effect we were looking for we would have to set off a real firework in a confined space in order to get good audio and concluded that it would be too dangerous. Consequently, I used audio from another source. To recreate the drum beat for the backing track, I recorded mainly low and high toms as well as the kick. This was similar to the original recording however it needed to be deeper, similar to a tribal beat. In order to achieve this, we decided to flip the drum sticks around so the more dense handle was striking the toms and thus created the desired effect.
