#330: 12 Hour Sound Machines with Brandon Reed

<p>Brandon Reed is the creator of the 12 Hour Sound Machine (No Loops or Fades!) Podcast. The show provides listeners with 12 hours of soothing sound to help people relax and sleep. Episodes feature 12 hour stretches of white, pink, and brown noise, as well as environmental sounds like babbling brooks and forests at night, and even more unusual sounds like popcorn popping and diesel engines. To date the show has been downloaded over 95 million times.</p> <p>Brandon spoke about some of the technical aspects of how he produces 12 hours of non-looping audio, as well as the differences (with sound examples) between types of noise. We also discussed the emotional impact noise and ambient sounds have on us and how we can use noise to enhance the mood of our music.</p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Listen on</span> <a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/music-production-podcast/id1212124420"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Apple</span></a>,<span style= "font-weight: 400;"> </span><a href= "https://open.spotify.com/show/2R5hFhExyUzbI7jD7eauck"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Spotify</span></a>,<span style= "font-weight: 400;"> </span><a href= "https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9tdXNpY3Byb2R1Y3Rpb25wb2RjYXN0LmxpYnN5bi5jb20vcnNz"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Google</span></a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLk4jo7_Rx2-2mjUoTXTL4u0iUH5_XqBYi"><span style="font-weight: 400;">YouTube</span></a></p> <p><strong>Show Notes:</strong></p> <ul> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">12 Hour Sound Machines - <a href= "https://12hoursoundmachines.com/">https://12hoursoundmachines.com/</a></span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Free to Use Sounds - <a href= "https://www.freetousesounds.com/">https://www.freetousesounds.com/</a></span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Free Ableton Live Pack #108 Ambient Noise Collaboration - <a href= "https://brianfunk.com/blog/2014/8/29/free-ableton-live-pack-108-ambient-noise-collaboration"> https://brianfunk.com/blog/2014/8/29/free-ableton-l
