What went into this one?

🌆 Ambience Design

• Children’s Echoes: Heavily reverberated screams and laughter, barely audible, hinting at a lost world in the post-apocalyptic city.
• Metallic Scrapes: Band-passed, processed with a long reverb and delay to emphasize the desolate, industrial atmosphere.
• Birdsong Layers: A quiet, close-up layer contrasts with a louder, low-passed, reverberated one, evoking a dreamy yet dystopian tone of life persisting. The latter focuses the listener's ears on something far away, creating an interesting yet depressing dissonance, especially when mixed with said Metallic Scrapes.

🎤 Voice Processing

The Nanosuit voice part was very tough to get right; it required meticulous crafting with interconnected effects:

• Very specific Comb filters, narrow-band vocoders, and ring modulation, each effect building on the other.

It required countless iterations to balance clarity with the desired mechanical, intelligent, and uncanny voice.

🎰 Ability-Specific Sound Design

• 🔍 Nanovision: High-rising sine waves combined with lots of camera shutter recordings.
• 🌌 Cloak: Delicate, high-pitched glitch sounds paired with processed reversed glass movements, creating a mirror-like, parallax feel.
• 🛡️ Maximum Armor: Layers of processed rock recordings, processed towards an infamous “mid-rumble” sound, further solidified by heavy parallel saturation.

Every Nanosuit function received a distinct sonic identity, unified through a shared processing chain with:

• Flangers, choruses, and metallic reverbs on parallel chains maintain cohesion and a recognizable tonal signature while not masking each sound's unique character.
