The development and the production of sound through media can be done in a variety of creative ways. Many experts in sound use things such as glass, water, sand, instruments, hands, the human vocals, metal and many other things to create the sounds that they desire to create or to manipulate. When these sounds are paired with software such as Audacity, we can edit, transform, extent, merge, sharpen, and soften sound in order for the sound to depict the sound effect of our choice. Rather it be electric, acoustic, vocal-based or a noise sound effect, it can all be produced through media software.

As a multimedia student, I have had the pleasure of discovering and working with many different and creativity enhancing software. I am new to Audacity but I have been using Soundtrack Pro for a little while and I have grown fond of it. Similar to Audacity, you can create and manipulate certain sounds to produce the desired dynamic sound. Here’s a couple of videos on how to use Soundtrack Pro and Audacity:
While exploring this topic, most likely you are reminded of the many films that have realistic sound effects. The sound effects that are used within movies are known as foley sound, or sound that has been made during production and in the studios behind the scenes. They are usually done after filming. As mentioned above, the sound experts get creative and use a variety of different objects to create the desired sound. The material is either used by itself or combined with other materials; for example, shattering glass or knocking two bricks together. The experts, in this case known as foley artists, perform this action near a microphone to be captured and recorded. The sound (or noise) is made to reflect the sound the image on screen should portray during a movie scene. Here’s a link to behind the scenes footage of creating foley sound! :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OONaPcZ4EAs.
