I’ve been trying to remember who the famous producer who said something to the effect, “Keep a fan on in your studio while mixing. The light background noise will aid you.”. If anyone knows who I’m talking about or the direct quote let me know. I never had that problem on my old Power PC Mac’s as the fans were always raging. Today though my Mac Pro is silent so here comes a website to help! Ridiculous? Yes. Cool? Kinda!

    How does background noise aid you while mixing? I never quite understood that.
    cheers!

    I think maybe it makes you try to make everything ’stand out’ a little more maybe, although that could well end up with you having a very bright and sharp sounding mix imo.

    I made a white noise CD (70 minutes of looping white noise sampled from the Powercore 01) to try and make my baby daughter sleep, as it’s supposed to remind them of the sound of the womb(which is similar to the sound in a pool (or if you cup your hands over your ears))). It did seem to work, but it was a bit too intense for me so it kept me up lol, I should probably have used pink noise, its a little ’softer’ I think. - Ive been meaning to make a newer one with a VERY slow LFO sweeping over it, would be relaxing I think.

    I always have some sort of unavoidable noise either slight from fans or major from construction or “after party goers” so I don’t need this website myself. Someday I want to move deep into the woods!
