This recording by the sound designer Niki Neecke captures the rush of a fast train passing through Yelahanka Junction railway station in Bangalore. The train is honking before reaching the station to warn people to clear the tracks. Recorded with a Soundman OKM and a Zoom H4N. We hope this sample will inspire you.

As a beginner in music production, Full Orchestra has been a great help by giving me the necessary push to actually finish tracks and present my music to others. Joining a kind and growing community has provided me with opportunities to get constructive feedback from other musicians, and even meet other producers in Lyon. Iโ€™m looking forward to the new challenges, ideas, and features!

Before diving into the Full Orchestra Project, I couldn't have imagined creating and completing a track in just one day. Obviously not perfect, but definitely good enough to share with the public, touch it up later, and even consider releasing after on. Starting off with a bit of skepticism, the project has turned out to be a standout moment in my production journey over the past year.

Getting involved in the Full Orchestra community allowed me to find an outlet for experimentation in music production, as well as connecting with like-minded individuals, be them musicians or not! Having consistent deadlines also pushes me to work on production regularly and helps me finish projects past the loop/arrangements stages.

When I don't have a deadline, I tend to procrastinate. I can add a line or modify the mix for ages if there's no pressing reason to complete a song. However, if I approach it as a fun game, I say to myself, "It's not perfect, but it's done; I'll do better next time." And this deadline/excuse/game finishes with a pleasant moment with other musicians.

I love creating and sharing music with people I don't know and having music as a first link when I meet them. A lot of positivity can emerge from sharing music. People rarely mention why they wouldn't come back to our music, so having constructive feedback helps me to improve my compositions. Full Orchestra Is also a way to meet musicians in their working space, which is always good for understanding how people make music.
