Manipulating the sounds

Still feeling inspired, I began manipulating some of the sounds which I had captured.

I was trying to achieve a pneumatic release type sound. A large amount of air, escaping through a small aperture very quickly, to put it another way.

I began experimenting with aerosols, until I managed to record a sound which I thought would be appropriate.

In the screenshot, you can see how I was using the timestretch effect in Adobe Audition to make the sample longer, and at the same time sound slower. I found this sample, reversed, also made a very good sci-fi pneumatic sliding door.
