“My favorite place”
Spring 2025
Audacity
For the final version of this recreation of a day spent composing in my room, to add more realism to the editing process, I unified the voice sections into a single track and applied layering to adjust the vocal dynamics. I also added an extra instrumental track, edited with the same layering technique. Additionally, I used this tool to balance some incidental sounds that were too loud during the composition process for a more cohesive result.
