Macchiato Mix
by Beatriz Ramirez Medrano
My sample pack is called macchiato mix. As a person who loves coffee, coffee shops and places to relax and feel cozy while doing work, I created my sample pack with the idea surrounded on the sounds of coffee, coffee pouring, drinking, relaxation and interaction. I included sounds that coffee shops would make, including the talking that goes on in a cafe, the plates clanging, a person drinking coffee, and some typing that would happen as a result of studying or doing work within a coffee shop.
As a little girl, coffee would be a staple in my morning meals to be shared with my mom, growing up I started implementing going to cafes and calming coffee shop locations to be able to focus and do my work in a setting that isn’t as demanding as a library or a room would be. The smell of coffee brings me focus, serenity and the ability to stay motivated as I do my work, or even chat with friends. As a college student, I hate feeling overwhelmed and stressed, this is something a nice, warm (or iced!) cup of coffee and a comfy couch chair wouldn’t fix. With my sample pack I hope I shared some moments of relaxing sounds or loops that can help people feel what I feel when I think of a cozy coffee shop.
