Ben Hollick and I met up today for a few hours to begin the assembly of the soundscape itself. We focused more on putting the sounds together in a suitable order, using cross-fading and volume controls. We began with the simple plan of transferring all of our sounds into a brand new Pro Tools project in the correct order so that we could alter the duration and levels of the sounds after. However, we couldn’t help but edit them as we went along. What we didn’t expect, was that the sounds collectively lasted much longer than we’d originally assumed. This wasn’t a bad thing however, because it meant that we could get rid of any fraction of the sounds that dragged out too much. During the construction of the soundscape itself, we came across certain sounds, with which we couldn’t EQ. For example, we intend to put clips from two separate songs into the soundscape. However, we were unsure of how record the control of the level of HPF used for our intended portrayal of what was happening. We do however, intend to overcome this problem tomorrow.

Other than the problem that occurred, we managed to successfully insert all of the sounds we first intended to use within the project and use cross-fading and volume controls within the few hours we had available to us. We also managed to fill in the majority of the script along the way which we intend to finish when we meet tomorrow.

Aims for tomorrow’s session would be to complete the EQ of the sounds successfully and to finish the script, along with the duration of the sounds in the running order.
