So guys, where is your favorite place to listen to the area music in WDW?
We all have terrible separation problems when we leave WDW from a vacation. One way alot of us try to fill the void until we get back is by listening to park audio, and that does help. But lately, it doesn't seem to be really doing it for me or my good Disney friend Graham. So, I wanted to create something that my friend could close his eyes and feel like he was there.
His most favorite place in WDW is Main Street, so I made a soundscape for him of MSUSA.
And that inspired me to make it more than what I had started with.
Nothing of what you will hear is live of real. Its all source audio, and sound effects, but combined to sound like you are really there. I realize that it would be alot easier to post a live recording of MSUSA, but by creating the soundscape completely in the computer, it gives one more control over what is heard, and what is not. So, I was able to boil the sounds of MSUSA down to its most basic, and it sounds pretty realistic, if I do say so myself.
And there is actual thought put into the video and the way you hear things. For example, the video is meant to sound like you are walking down MSUSA. So, as you get closer to the end of the video, you are approaching the castle and main hub. So, the crowd sounds get less and less crowded sounding cause as you approach the hub, the walkways open up, and there is more space. Also, people are heading off into the various lands of the MK, so the soundscape reflects that.
The video is intentionally black. I was gonna put video or pictures of MSUSA to go along with the audio, but it always looked cheesy or hokey. And plus, the imagination can create images that are far more powerful than what someone else can show you. Plus, everyone has their own images of Main Street, and a certain path they may take down the street.
So, enjoy the video, and tell me what you think!
