This project was for a Middle School Tech Theater II class. We had to make a compilation of sounds to go along with a car chase video. We made this from scratch. No sound from the original video was used.

Turned down sound of sirens, recorded manual voice sounds of yelling people, imported “Highway to Hell,” recorded Curtis yelling “No! The pooooolice.” Click record and speak with internal microphone or add on.

Recorded Garrett yelling at police, messed with sound pitch because the chase was monotonous.

Fine tuned timing of sounds layered more and changed volume to add some dimension. Move tracks back and forth.
