For this audio project, I wanted to create something to raise the hairs on the back of our necks. I remember a few times when I’ve been out in a forest and I’ve come to a quick realization that I am not the apex predator in this environment.
Hopefully, this clip will embody the feeling of being in the wilderness alone, yet not alone, and maybe being hunted.
Tutorial
For this assignment, I located sound clips from Freesound.org and imported them into Soundtrap. I adjusted the length of the clips and arranged them on the timeline the same way as in my Cruising Around the Campground post. Again, I highly recommend watching a few tutorials to learn how to use Soundtrap, like the one I linked in my Campground post. When I was satisfied with the final product, I saved my project and exported it as an MP3 file.
David, this audio project was spooky indeed! I was really picturing being in the wilderness alone… I got chills. I used Soundtrap for a digital studies class previously and it was really user-friendly. I completely forgot about it until now, so thanks for including the tutorial!
