    Audio Lab Exercise Sample

    Enhancements:
    • There was too much background noise and I couldn't hear the narration clearly, so I removed background noise to improve the sound quality and signal-to-noise ratio.  
    • I also removed all the irrelevant sounds (spot noises) that were accidentally recorded as they didn't pertain to the purpose of the recording. 
    • It was too loud and started cracking on the louder segments, so I adjusted the volume. 
    • I added 1-2 second pauses to add the organizational structure. 
    • I also changed the pitch of some segments to create an illusion of two different voices. I did it to add the organizational structure. 
    • I added one second sound effects to add cues to signify transitions.
