The technical goal was to improve the quality of each recording by reducing unwanted background noises and enhancing important sounds. Overall, learning how different audio editing techniques can be applied depending on the recording environment to create clearer and more focused soundscapes.\n\nThe result, is an amazing record of the human, animal, and other environmental sounds produced in the spaces around us."
