The Final Touches

(22/06/09 - 26/06/09)

I had a feeling the audio editing wouldn't go as smoothly as it seemed to be going. Life is very deceptive indeed.

My initial thought was that if the memory stick with all of the music samples on was inserted in the computer, and all of said clips has been dragged into the sequence box on Avid Liquid, that all of the new audio would be instantly recognised in the timeline and all I'd have to do is drag and insert.

Wrong, unfortunately

I spent all of Monday afternoon effectively redoing the audio again as all of the sound clips in the timeline were silent. It wasn’t too much of a hassle just a very time consuming exercise when one is so close to finishing. Especially as I had mixed a few of the audio sounds myself, lopping sections to make the sample longer for my own benefit and adjusting audio levels at specific points; all had to be remixed.

Other than Monday afternoon and spending Tuesday morning in the editing room making sure there were no audio quips with the main footage audio (of which there were several) including one of me yelling action! (How did I miss that?) I spent the rest of the week working on John's Student Magazine assignment.
