Car Sound Map
Soundscape
My Soundscape takes place inside my car. I had the idea to mimic the act of getting in the car and going for a ride with my sister as we navigate through different topics.
The center point is meant to be around where the arm rest is between driver and passenger. As the audio begins you can hear rain and an ongoing conversation slowly getting closer as the car beeps to unlock.
The conversation volume grows as we make our way into the car. The engine is started with increased bass, treble and reverb to slightly muffle since both car doors are now closed. You should hear seat belt clicks, and the bluetooth abruptly turn on, as well as wiper blades.
The conversation changes , as well as the music in the background to show that time has passed. Each song has a Convolution Reverb added with two presets

I lower the gain for each about the same to around -15dB's.
