Scoring a Short Film Clip

Impresario - that tends to be the way I work. I had formal training years ago, but over time the theory slowly gave way to the 'does it sound good?' approach. I still dip into it once in a while, but I've forgotten a lot of it, so it means digging out my old books for a refresh (if I can be bothered). Thank goodness I'm not the only one!

Hey all!

Keep an eye out for the formal after-recording session write-up, but in the meantime I'll just say that it was a totally unforgettable experience and that it went smoothly!

Bryla: I'm actually not supposed to have it but someone on a forum a while back posted that they'd figured out a way to decode Altiverb's impulses into basic WAV ones useable in any plugin, and they put up Todd-AO as their demonstration. It was, of course, promptly removed and so on, but I was lucky enough to catch it while it was up...so I guess that was lucky!

John: Kontakt is actually quite pretty. Even the script part of the interface isn't really too terrifying, it just takes some getting used to, as with everything else.

Impresario: happy to inspire. Ultimately, as long as you're following the path you want to follow and you believe in yourself enough to stick with it, then you can't go too far wrong. And having a more balanced education helps prevent you being locked into this niche if it turns out that music just isn't going to work out after all, despite you doing everything right. It happens, and being prepared for it is a better idea than pretending you can't possibly fail.

That little WAV file is worth quite a bit...Todd-AO RIP.
