Meh, okay I reworked the other soundscape. I’m not too sure about the old one, and neither for this one. I need crit? The old one I didn’t really have a good rationale for. I just made it wanting to create a piece that sounds inspiring. I played around with the pitch and speed in multiples of 10, but that’s about it. I wasn’t too happy with it just because I find it too serious at times. It’s not really appropriate especially when half my content is a bit humorous. So I decided to redo.

This one, I just made with Garageband’s presets. I’m afraid it might sound too amateur-ish once I start using built-in iLife sounds, etc. as opposed to using my own. But…I guess it’s alright for now. Tolerable, yes/no? I wanted it to be less serious, but also not too charming or dreamy that I’m giving too much away. I want it to be neutral with a hint of humor. I don’t know if that makes sense at all, but I hope it did.

Originally, I was planning to create 10 layers of sounds. But I found it becoming too busy and ugly. So, I decided to set an overall duration time for my movie (1:10) and then have the sound come in after/every 10 seconds, and fade out with 10 seconds interval as well. Coincidentally, the 4th layer which comes in the middle of the whole thing is 10 seconds long. (Hah!)

Okay, I hope this works.
