A master track containing a combination of all the sounds put together to create a cafe soundscape.
Sound Environment
In our group we decided to represent a busy café with both an outdoor and indoor setting using a series of common sounds found in this particular environment.
We wanted to make sure that the sounds we joined together would create a full atmosphere so that it felt like you were right there having a coffee instead of a bunch of random individual sounds. Our group really wanted to make sure we captured every sound that defines a café from kitchen noises to that almost indescribable sound of fullness and background buzz.
We gathered sounds of the actual coffee being made, kitchen noises, multiple conversations, the busy outdoors, the till being used, door opening with buzzer and even slight footsteps. Adding all these sounds together our group created a very realistic busy café environment represented through a series of sounds.
I used a website to gather my sounds of footsteps, a door opening with a buzzer and an outdoor café setting. I then had to record those sounds onto my memo app on my iPhone and send that via email to one of our group members so they could have every sound from the group. This way they could upload all of them onto sound cloud in one place, that way it was easier for us to then put them all onto our blog in one go. We found this suited everyone while being effective and efficient.
Overall, our environment sounded like we wanted to and everyone contributed while getting over any obstacles.
