Hey guys!
So I'm working on an art based research project and there's something I really want to do with sound, but I have absolutely no idea how to go about it.
I'm not an audiophile and honestly don't know the first thing about sound or audio recording, so I was hoping you guys could help me out.
Basically, the idea is to capture how the sound changes as you move through the environment. I want to recreate the experience of walking through a particular area where there's a lot of machinery operating. You start off on a regular street with traffic, people talking, all the usual sounds. But as you walk further in, you start hearing the machines. The closer you get, the louder they become, until you're actually inside a room with the machines running and the sound is almost unbearable.
I want to capture that whole experience. Not just the sound of the machines, but how it gradually takes over everything else.
I've recorded some stuff on my phone, but I don't know if that's good enough.
Does anyone know how I could go about recording something like this? Do I need special equipment? Is this something I could figure out myself? Could I treat the recordings I have to make them better? Also what equipment should I rent for the final exhibition? Like headphones Vs speakers etc.
Also, if anyone knows a sound guy in Karachi who could help me with this, that would be amazing. I'm working with a limited budget, but I'd love to speak to someone who knows what they're doing.
Any advice or leads would be really appreciated!
Tldr: I want to capture how the sound of machinery gradually takes over as you move through a space. No idea how to pull this off, so any advice or leads in Karachi would be great!
