I'll implement your suggestions (or as many as I can), thanks!
"AAAAAAAh WOOAH Jeez guys, I sure wanted to tell you this AWESOME-SPOOKY story that I had, but I can't read the next word on my sheet because my flashlight broke. ffffffffff! I hate it when it breaks."
How did that end up there? Are the AI overlords fucking with people trying to fall asleep?
One is just piano, the other is keys and drums. On Bandcamp they are about 10' each, but they can be made of arbitrary length, without ever repeating themselves exactly (in principle... in practice it's likely there are exact repeats but they should be few and far between).
If you have an idea of the type of background music you need, I can make other tracks too. I'd be happy to work with you on this.
(This example is just one minute but it can be made of any length.)
Maybe the mix a little too much on the high-end, which may conflict with the voice. It should be tested?
Anyway, tell me what you think; I tried to sound a bit like the current background but with a more melodic feel and less industrial noise; but we could go in any direction -- if we know what to try.
Maybe a female voice, a bit quieter (the soundscapes are almost completely silent for me) and maybe add some high-room-size, long decay (5-10, maybe even 20 seconds), wide panned (like 100%) and moderately diffused (maybe 10-20%) reverb to the voice with like 30% mix or so, which would add a very airy tone and help the voice blend in a bit. If the TTS engine has a whisper setting (many do), add just a bit. It'll help thicken the reverb.
That, paired with bass-heavy soundscapes, will create a very nice balance between the low registers and the voice's high registers.
Just a thought. :)
