Audacity is really cool. I came across a video detailing use of the Envelope tool to shape soundwave volume to create shapes. This seems totally like how you make cool sci-fi sounds of days yore (with more complicated, analogue tools, of course, I’m sure.
I was even able to “remaster” a recording from a record recently that sounded like it was playing over a tiny radio.
Basically, I’m fascinated with it. Here’s my first experiment. It uses three generated tones (sine, triangle, and square) that I’ve shaped for an interesting blend of tones. I can imagine some kind of fantastical scanning device makes this sound.
This is very basic experimentation. I haven’t even explored more complex stuff yet, but it’s interesting. The tones are kinda loud (I need to learn about good volume levels—I only know not to let the sound wave off the board nor the level go into the red), eardrums beware.
