Assignment 01
10%, Due Sep. 29th at the Beginning of Class
[1] Create a new Pro Tools Session /1
Set the sample rate to 44.1kHz and the bit depth to 16bit
Be sure to use the correct file naming convention (-3 points if
incorrect)
eg. MUS2014_D_Assignment01_Mike_Ardagh
Import audio titled: Assignment01_Audio.mp3 to a new audio
track.
Name the track City Riff (the songs name) /1
a) Cut the band intro entirely. Start the track musically 8 bars into
the Guitar Intro where the pedal steel begins. Place a memory
location here titled Intro and use a very short fade (~30
milliseconds) to start the song. /3
Tips:
zoom to marker GUITAR INTRO
Count in 8 bars where the pedal steel starts.
Use multi-tool (SMART) or selector tool to highlight back from
this point to before the beginning of the track.
Shift-Click in the Memory Locations lane then delete everything
up to the new song start.
Add a short musical fade to the new start of the song (as
above). Note: this is not a fade in happening over many bars
just a short fade so that the first pick-up strum of the guitar
sounds natural.
b) At the beginning of the outro, the 2 bar guitar figure repeats 4
times. Remove the 2nd and 3rd time it is played to create a
4bar guitar part before the band is in. /3
Play the outro, rhythmically dropping markers at the beginning
of each phrase.
Select the phrases you wish to delete by Shift-Clicking between
the appropriate memory locations
Use shuffle mode [F1]
shift-click in markers ruler bar (so that markers move as well)
delete
these 4 bars will disappear but there will be no break in the
music (we're in shue mode)
Listen to the unfaded version of your edit. How is the timing? If it
sounds good create a short crossfade (use your judgement)
to smooth the edit. If it doesnt sound right then undo
(Command Z), readjust your markers and try again!
