How Do You Make Your Soundscapes Work?

Hannah Wallace: What are some tricks of the trade for getting audio right for various settings? Be it a car, mall, lakeshore, diner, gallery, city, street, etc.? I think of how those places sound in my memory. Like, how do I remember a car sounding? And then I think what would I have to do to create that? Cars are actually a unique one in that list because I like to actually record car scenes in a car.
