EDITING HALLOWEEN MUSIC
& SOUND FX |
|
We create our own
custom Halloween music and/or special effects CD's by editing together
your favorite tracks using an audio editor. We use our Laptop to play all of our
background music and some of our sound effects for our Halloween party
and yard haunt.
 One cool advantage is that you can play a
music CD and also play WAV, MP3 or MIDI sounds files at the same time.
We use a small professional mixing board hooked up to a large
speaker system. For the party, people take turns being the D.J.
using CD's that they have brought or hooking their MP3 player to the
system. For our yard haunt, we
place speakers around the main graveyard scene and run the sound effects
and mood music through.
