The first half is the soundscape in the train station, while the other half is in the library.

This is a screenshot of my soundscape in Reaper.

The final soundscape is finally rendered in MP3 format. This will be used at the library.

At this time, I tried turning the volume of sounds at the train station up and turning down ones in the library so that people also could listen to this soundscape to help them focus or relax.

# data[].attributes.body
I turned down the volume of those sounds in the train station so that it would be more suitable for people to listen at the train station since they already can hear those ones directly there.

Over the first assignment, I enjoy this process, but I also think this is a challenge for me because I have never thought I have to use any sound software and this is the first time I have used them. At first, I could only use basic tools and had to watch many tutorial videos to understand what was going on. I also attempted to explore them by myself with different records before starting the assignment.

I am not happy with my outcome since I think it still lacks some elements to show exactly what my concept is. I also want to explore more about the Reaper Effects which are interesting to apply to the soundscape, and they might help show my concept more clearly.

I also apply the panning and adjust the volume to echo as being in a large space, and suitable for the environment.

# data[].attributes.body
These are sounds of the train station that I already stretched, adjusted the volume, and glued together to create the noise that we hear every time at the station.

I did not have a chance to add many effects to my soundscape, even though I already watched a few videos about those effects.

In September 2014, the Rumia train station's dilapidated building reopened as Stacja Kultura (Station Culture).

Station Culture combines the services of a railway station, a public library, and a cultural institution, serving the local population as well as tourists visiting the Polish seashore.

At this time, I attempted to mix all the sounds to create a complete soundscape from all those recorded at two locations.

# data[].attributes.body
I created different kinds of sounds that people hear in the library. To make it more realistic, I also recorded voices and some sounds at the library to make the background noise. I adjusted the volume depending on when I need it loud or not.

# data[].attributes.body
I combined all the sounds that people can hear at the train station together and tried to glue those items so that we can have the background sound.

- Curved lines: the sound of wind

I started to look up some different soundscapes in different spaces with contrasting sounds since I wanted to see how people create soundscapes in quiet and busy spaces such as museums, libraries, and stations.

Melbourne Central station is an underground station on the electrified railway network in Melbourne, Australia. The station is named after the Melbourne Central Shopping Centre, which it is beneath. It feeds into Melbourne's main metro network station, Flinders Street, and also Southern Cross, Melbourne's main regional terminus.

At the train station, there are lots of different activities during waiting for the train, for example, people talk to others, use phones, read books or listen to music, etc. Those are found in the library as well.

Concept: to create the library ambiance at the train station. It means that I want to combine the sounds of these activities together and build the environment inside the library in the middle of the train station.

The State Library is the main library of the Australian state of Victoria. It was established in 1854 as the Melbourne Public Library, making it Australia's oldest public library and one of the first free libraries in the world. It is also Australia's busiest library, and as the fourth most-visited library in the world in 2018.
