Gym - Brandon Chan

1 sound

For my composition I chose to use the gym as my geolocation. The sounds I recorded included the high knees exercise on grass turf as a hi-hat, racking of weights as various snares and toms, voices at the gym, punching bags getting hit, treadmill beeps and people cycling. A majority of effects I used include using ReaPitch to distort the noises as well as speeding up and slowing tracks to distort their pitch. I used ReaVerb on samples to make it seem like it was a bit farther away from the listener. I also panned most tracks to various points in the headphones to create the feeling of hearing the treadmill to your right, the bench press to your left, and punching bag right in front of you for example. This creates the feeling of immersion and actually being in the gym. I denoised most clips with RX7.
