Exercise 1

In this exercise, we need to adjust six samples of the same music with different pitches to make them consistent. I need to identify which tracks don’t match the original soundtrack — they may be too low or too high — and adjust the equalizer settings to keep them consistent.

Exercise 2

Exercise 2 is an exercise to simulate different environmental sounds and the use of reverberation.

Here are my exercises:

1. Telephone

2.  In the closet

3. Walkie-talkie

4. Bathroom

5.Airport

6.Indoor stadium

Environment 1:

Through this photo, I want to create the atmosphere of a plant laboratory.

I plan to use laboratory sound effects as the background, combined with sci-fi elements to enhance the futuristic feeling.
Since there are people and computers in the photo, I added footstep sounds and keyboard typing sounds.
At the visual center, there is a large water tank or culture dish where plants are growing,
so I also tried to include water sounds and subtle plant growth sound effects to bring the scene to life.

Environment 2:

In Environment 2, I mainly focused on creating the visual center of the laser emitter.

The setting also looks like a laboratory, so I chose lab background sounds to match the atmosphere.

After the firing is completed, I also added a low humming sound to emphasize the sense of energy and the sci-fi mood.

Since there are people in the image, I added footstep sounds and keyboard typing to show that scientists are adjusting the machine, preparing it for activation and testing.

I first added a small laser sound as a transition, to build up tension before the main laser firing sound.
