Sound exercise 1

Mario has an iconic tune that everyone knows and can possibly hum. This is done with the simple yet memorable sounds a main tune was composed to be catchy and not be boring after hearing it over and over again. since NES cartridges at the time didn't have a lot of memory sounds took up the most memory this is why there is only three tracks throughout the whole game.

Uncharted 4 uses slow bongo drums and wood wind instruments to create a wonderful atmosphere that really puts you in the game by panning out on massive landscapes audiences become captivated. to get that sound of the instruments a live orchestra preformed most of the pieces heard in the game. the wood wind instruments symbolise adventure this fits the theme of uncharted.

Star wars has a fantastic soundtrack that really shows the space opera the main theme helps show adventure and it allows people to get ready for the adventure ahead. a live orchestra was also used for Star Wars this makes the sound more authentic. this is also the same for the sounds like the lightsaber and spaceships they all recorded with random household parts.

The link below will allow you to hear the chosen sound https://youtu.be/tqUfK1Xyy-o I have discussed how i can fix the problem but lets go into more detail about how these solutions work. the pitch is the property of sounds that allows ordering on a freque...
