Using Sonic Solutions to
Create an EDL
DUE: November 11, 2003
For
many years, Sonic Solutions was the top choice for CD mastering
in high-end studios around the world. Pro
Tools at that time was considered a toy in many professional studios. Since then, Pro Tools has improved
immensely and Sonic Solutions has moved into DVD. Here at UVic, we have a classic Sonic System, which
still performs and sounds top-notch.
Use the Sonic Solutions mastering system in in B002
to create a natural performance of the Bach Sarabande
(from the Partita for Solo Violin no. 1, BWV 1002) played
on the guitar. You will start with
a recording on the hard disk (called MU306 Sarabande) that includes a run-through of the piece (no repeats) and
several other takes of various sections.
Your task is to listen to all the takes, find the mistakes and
corrections in the material, and reassemble it to produce an acceptable
performance. Examples of obvious
problems: noise, some
mumbling, dropped keys, etc. There is also a lot of breath noise. You can decide how much of that is
natural and whether you want to try to fix it. Do your best to make this performance perfect.
Turn
in an EDL (put it in the MUS 306 folder on the internal disk) and
a Word file explaining what you did, issues, problems, special edits,
also in this folder.
