Fifth Day of Recording Sound Dub

15/12/19 – Today I aimed to record the following; Synths for background music, a bannister creak, creaking floorboards and a wooden box opening. For the synths I used a midi keyboard on logic pro and used a pre set with a lot of arpeggio and played a simple riff on the low C bass notes. I then bounced this out as a MP3 file and imported it onto the pro tools project and looped it across the entire piece to add a scary ambience to the piece. For the creaky bannister and floorboards, I twisted a wet lettuce in multiple directions creating a high pitch cracking sound. To differentiate the bannister and floorboard sound, I pitch shifted the bannister one lower in order to recreate it more accurately. In terms of the box opening, I used the Sennheiser mini boom microphone’s case and closed it slowly.
