My friend is taking a class where he was required to make an audio file with at least 10 different layers which would act as a soundtrack to a scene. We, being Silent Hill fans, decided that we would take a couple songs from Silent Hill 2, make a little bit of a merge, then proceed to use items around my desk to record sound effects to make the audio more than just a couple of songs merged. We were limited to a 1 minute track, so we were forced to cram in a lot into a small amount of playtime. Some of the sounds we recorded and included were a creaking chair, ratchet screwdriver, foot steps, and guitar riffs. Others we found on the net such as the siren, dogs, and alarm clock. Check it out and note that this wasn’t the most serious of projects. We had some really interesting ways of getting good sound such as taking a background noise sample, then forcing our recording app to compare that sample to the entire track, and pull out all audio which met the criteria of that sample. Considering all sounds effects were taken with a headset, I think we did pretty good.

The story behind the clip is someone is walking through an empty park, stumbles into silent hill where he find some unpleasant things, then wakes up from the ‘nightmare’.

Check it out.
