These are not just collections of recordings of real places. Each CD
scene is hand made, meticulously scratch built from hundreds of
individual sounds. Each little sound is tweaked mercilessly in the
digital audio workstation until it literally 'leaps out' at scale volume
levels, but the real magic is in the proprietary imaging scratch built
'around' the sound!
The tiny reflections around it are what make a sound appear real, but
'tiny reflections' can disappear at scale volume. To compensate sound
for scale playback, Fantasonics scratch build and then caricature a
discreet ambient image around each little noise, before building it into
a scene. But still, a built up scene is not quite 'somewhere'... yet. These
particular noises have just met! Together, they've never been a 'place'
before, so we scratch build a final caricatured overall image around
every built up scene. This final caricature gives the scene a life of
its own, its own sense of place, and an uncanny ability to 'couple up'
to full scale ears. This really works! And it is engineered to work best
at tiny scale volume levels... in YOUR layout!
Altogether; Scratch building, dedicated scale aural imaging, layout sound design, craftsmanship, it sings - literally!, especially when you turn it down...
