Build a calming mix

Step by step: build a calming mix

1. Start with a bed. Pick one steady sound to fill the room: rain, the ocean, brown noise or a fan. It does most of the work.
2. Add one or two details. A little wind, birds or fire on top gives it life. Keep them lower than the bed: more than three or four sounds turns to mush.
3. Set the volume last. Turn the master volume down until it just softens the room. You should still hear someone speaking normally.
