The Birds

I watched 'The Real T-Rex (with Chris Packham)', which included looking at how you could simulate a T-Rex sound with modern animals. I thought it might be an interesting project to do something similar with bird sounds.

I recorded some bird sounds early in the morning with my TASCAM recorder.

Then, in Audacity, I isolated some bird sounds and put some special effects on them, such as pitch shifting and delays.

I used a lot of bass to give an 'eerie dinosaur' effect, because birds (supposedly!) evolved from dinosaurs.

WARNING!! Track includes low bass and stereo panning so use headphones or quality speakers for optimum 'eerie dinosaur' effect!

WARNING 2!!! If you are scared by 'eerie dinosaur' effects, do NOT use headphones or quality speakers!
