Callout on Screen: For intellectual property reasons, I used the loops in GarageBand to mix the soundtrack.

Callout on Screen: I began stretching the composition to extend its duration.

Callout on Screen: I experimented with layering sounds to create the mix.

Callout on Screen: I added sound effects that would later correspond to moments in the screencast.

Callout on Screen: I also experimented with layering my voice over the composition; this move was later dropped in favor of the spoken word narration.

Callout on Screen: The final version contained the extended looping set to match the duration of the screencast.

Callout on Screen: And the final version has all of the sound effect samples added and timed with moments in the video.

Callout on Screen: For the final revision of the project, a screen recording of the looping track is matched up with the edited video and closes out the piece.
