Today, I had two sound practicals. In the first one we just messed around in Pro Tools (Audio mixing hardware/software) and learned about audio clipping (which is when the levels go red and distortion occurs). We made sine waves that we later clipped, and played around with filters. This is an example of a clipped waveform, if you were just tingling with curiosity as to how it looks.
In the second one we got divided into groups, and taken into the foley studio, and the recording suite
It was pretty sick! We did ADR (which is basically what you can call pick-up recording of dialogue) on a scene from Blade Runner. I'd never seen an industry standard mixing desk and all that jazz before, so I was pretty amazed. So many knobs and dials, I wonder if I will be able to remember it all!
Unfortunately there was no time left, so I didn't get to go to to foley today, but I hope I will get a chance at tomorrow's practical. A foley studio looks like this btw:
That is all!
