Natural Soundstage
Warning–total hack, I’m just posting because it’s kind of a delightful hack.
Run 2 music players at once–the MusicIP Mixer for music, and some lesser platform in the background.
In your secondary player, put a nature soundtrack behind the music. They’ve been floating around for years in CD form–thunderstorms, rainshowers, surf, and so on. (Handy tip for eMusic subscribers…when you just have 1 download left in your monthly allotment, troll for nature soundtracks, which tend to run nearly an hour!)
The acoustic effect is–at least to me–quite startling. It changes the music. I -think- we’re probably wired to expect natural sound-cues, and the spatial depth (this bird is close, that bird is further away) that come built-in to that soundstage. Recording studios are quite artificial and flat in that sense.
Play with the sound levels, try different backgrounds. YMMV. Cheers
