Reflection Journal - Sound booth

     Soundbooth is an audio editing software, it allow you to add sound effects and cleanup the audio. It will allow you to create sounds by using multiple clips and mixing them together. It's like photoshop for sounds.  A podcast is just the audio file to be downloaded and played later. It would be saved to your computer. It takes your audio clips and lets you arrange the audio clips to create a finalized audio clip. 


       My story was about a teenager was going to school, having his headphones on full volume gets robbed. The robber pulls out a gun, and shoots the kid. The robber runs quickly towards the exit. Then you hear Police cars, ambulances, and a helicopter passes next the exit of the train station. The problems I had with Soundbooth was, I didn't know if the online sound system had the sounds I was looking for. For example, I was looking for a Heart Rate 
Monitor, and I couldn't find one, tried to look for alternatives, and nothing. I found one on soundbible.com though.


       The final audio story came out good, better then I thought. The thing I liked was how I did the train scene and the heart rate monitor. But it kinda gets annoying. Both those scenes made my sound story good or okay. The scene that may need work is, the scene when the robber hits and then after shoot the teen. I wanted to be more explicit, but couldn't find good enough audio clips, and was also running out of time.


        I think  people that are going to listen to this audio story would be able to figure out your story, because it's kinda obvious, you hear a train, people, foot prints, yelling, gun cocking, gun shot, running, dead body drop, ambulances, police sirens, helicopter, and a heart rate monitor, and the death beep. I think the only sound they might find difficult to understand is the scene when he was walking out of the train, and walking on the train station, other then that I don't think so.
