Creating The Rock Fall Sound

As my level was consisting of a mine shaft, I thought it would be appropriate to have some falling rocks in the background to help add atmosphere to the scene. To do this, I started off with a base audio recording of some stones I picked up off the ground and dropped. This can be viewed in my recordings folder under the name of Dropping Stones.

I took this sound into Adobe Audition, and the proceeded with my first step. I started cutting up the audio and pasting it, until I had a sound that sounded a little more like rocks falling from a height. 

After this, I simply added a Full Reverb effect to the track and played around with the absorbency levels. This created almost a boomy, echo type sound which was ideal.
