Welcome to the Dream Garden Spa! Tonight you get to enjoy an evening of relaxation in a warm bath with a delicious fruity cocktail and gentle shoulder massage. Intense binaural tingles await!
This soundscape was painstakingly hard to achieve. My overworked self overlooked some small gaps in the hot tub ambience looping which I just fixed but, well, the rendering will be going for another day. If, like Jack, you don't feel like they are noticable, you can go ahead and enjoy your bath package right now. I was bothered immensely by the fact that I had to record the audio indoors which at first sounded like it wouldn't be a real great video, but the birdsong ambience corrected that a little. In the future I will possibly be able to shoot outdoors again, but not here. I gave it my all so, for a first attempt at this kind of soundscape, what do you think?
My judgement may be dulled by the sheer number of videos I've made in the past week. Next month I'll try to space it out more. I just really wanted to meet my arbitrary quota of 6-10 videos per month. That's as much as one person doing every step in the production can possibly accomplish. I did not feel like adding music to this video would have been appropriate, since the ambient sounds are already borderline overwhelming. In this version, I found the hot tub bubbles a little quiet at times so in the fix I adjusted that by 2dB. It's really hard to gauge how certain sounds will come out in the finished mix because it sounds quite a bit louder in the editing software. I also toned down the muddling sounds a little, so if you found those particularly loud, they won't be for long.
Little nuggets that I thought were important: Since this video didn't come out 2 hours long, I added 5 minutes at the end of just ambience and created a very slow, gradual, moonlit looking fade out to mimic nightfall. My goal was to create a soothing aswell as tingly sleep video. I find that sleep videos should be long enough to get sleepy while watching and not end abruptly. Just like yourself, I often find myself clicking through video after video after video just because they end so soon or cut off suddenly. One of my all time favorite spa videos by ASMR NovaStar has this fade out of just music at the end and I found that wonderful to safely drift off to sleep so I wanted to apply the same concept to my own creation.
I hope you can forgive the slight delay in the video aswell as the bonus video this month. I will film it tonight but it might come out a bit over the deadline since I added the rewards so late into the month. The ambience is not optional due to reasons explained above.
Thank you for your support this month. It helps me out a great deal and I'm just overjoyed to see my goals progressing so fast. Thank you for your love and patience with the rewards and everything. I truly didn't expect so much of a positive response to everything I added and I'll do my best to catch up and gather some ideas for next month's projects. As always your feedback is greatly appreciated and I hope you have a wonderful transition into June. Cheers
