About

I made an instrumental synth track on my iPad, using Garageband. It’s meant to evoke a sense of hope and beauty, and it sounds like something you would find in a film score.

Advice

I learned a lot about how to properly mix a track to give it a nice and balanced sound. Learning the technical side of this stuff is a real challenge, especially with limited equipment, but I feel like I’ve come out the other side a little more knowledgable. I’m looking forward to carrying that knowledge forward with future projects!
