Heathers Gunshot Effect2.wav

A gunshot sound effect recorded for a high school production of the musical Heathers. It was recorded on a Zoom H1 and was made by a theatrical cap gun. I recorded it at a distance of about 5 feet and then again at a distance of about 40 feet from the audience and allowed the sound to reverberate both times. Then I duplicated both and mixed in both original sounds on top of each other, plus each sound pitched down 1 octave and the 40-feet away recording at 2 octaves down, plus the closer recording pitched one octave up. We then added and adjusted reverb in Audacity and adjusted the sync of all the clips to be aligned, and adjusted the mix to make it sound as real as possible.
