2/12 Editing

So today I had a session on Pro Tools, I was able to start putting my project together on Pro Tools. I am still not familiar with the keyboard shortcuts but I have a standard workflow I can now adhere to. I have already begun sampling and experimenting with different effects and sounds on Soundtrack Pro for this piece, however the biggest issue is always going to be porting over a project from Soundtrack Pro to Pro Tools. There are options to save the tracks as OMFs or AAFs, but these are not as compatible as project files.

I always knew this was a potentiality, so I never went too overboard with structure on Soundtrack Pro, however I had this idea to duplicate the track of the heavy breathing recording by myself and for each of the duplicates. To extreme and soft pan left and pan to create an eerie atmosphere of different levels of heavy breathing. This will contribute towards the final theme of the undead receiving the dead.

The edit is slowly progressing in the right direction, but from my tutor feedback today, I need to make the piece string together a little more clearer. Even though my piece will be more art house and experimental, I want the structure to be understood without reducing the creative quality of the piece. As I edit, this will be one of the main objectives within this piece.
