EXPERIMENTAL SOUND: Final Adjustments
After getting some useful tips on what to do and how to improve my sound design piece, I decided I wanted to add two more main sounds to my piece:
Also the thing i like about this is the fact that i managed to achieve the gradual build-up that i wanted from the start, without sacrificing the dynamics of the mix.
However i believe that my sound may not fully illustrate my main intentions: To place the audience in the environment and to easily portray the time period and it's industrial importance. I'll wait until assessment to get further feedback and to take notes for any new sound projects i might do.
- Factory machinery
- More crowd sounds
I also wanted both of these new elements to sound like they were part of the time period of the piece, which was the 50s.
Lastly i wanted to add a slight touch to enhance the melodic-ness that lies underneath the mix.
First of all i did a bit of research to try and figure out what noises machinery would make in that time period, and after that see if i could find decent samples/recordings of that on different sound libraries.
I personally think that machinery of that time era would sound quite heavy and clunky. After searching on freesound.org i found this http://freesound.org/people/J%20-%20Luc/sounds/68075/, which seemed perfect for what i was going for.
I also downloaded a few more samples from freesound.org, such as:

The reason i am using vintage cars in my mix is to try and place the crowd itself in the 50s environment, since i cant really do that with just the crowd.
Also i purposefully focused more on the industrial side rather than the environment, to bring out the industrial nature of the piece, being set in the industrial revolution.
After arranging the new sounds and adjusting the mix and balancing of the new sounds, i ended up with this:
