    the "art" of modeling "sound"

    Not to do only with sound but SMELL... I saw in a back issue of MR that one used top be able to buy different sounds of industries and it came with some kind of liquid that you would put on a small length of cloth and you'd get the smell. E.G.: A lumber mill will have a tape with half an...

    the "art" of modeling "sound"

    One could go back to old ways and record the actual sounds- these days you could use your MP3 player instead of a tape recorder. Or you could use better equipment for a better quality recording.

    the "art" of modeling "sound"
