Hey Ken, this is great. You can hear all of the parts moving, the squeaky
wheel on a particular car going by, different wheel-different squeak, etc.
and they raise and lower in volume and pan as expected with appropriate
depth added. Even a touch of doppler effect on the whistle - cool.
So this obviously was quite a few different sounds/patches layered in
tracks. I'm curious how many different patches this took? And this was
completely MOTM stuff? And one other thought, did you start with a
recording of a train going by and work from that, or did you work from a set
of sounds in your head?
This is the kind of imitative synthesis I really like - sounds from our
environment.
