Noir Editing Session 2

Session Review

During this session, I have finally begun structuring and importing some of the key sounds from my collection of foley sound effects, into Adobe Audition.

Furthermore, I have included additional sounds from my personal sound library in order to be the connective sounds for large transitions, such as the moment the detective in this sound piece comments to the radio broadcast and flicks his newspaper.

The sudden transition seemed unnatural although these subtle foley sounds such as a cough or sigh apply a natural tone to the scene.

Noir Sound Piece Research Cont'd

Session Review

This short session, simply consisted of browsing around the internet for inspiration that I could use as a stepping stone in constructing the sound of my killer robot for when the detective uncovers the killer robot inside the factory,.

Since my story is set in the 50s I want my robot to have an analogue sound of gears, heavy clanking metal and industrial sounds. After browsing around the film Zathura in the scene where the two children encounter the defective robot provided an excellent series of sound effects,

in particular when the robot moved.it sounded like tools being hit together and I thought I could record an elevator or lever moving as the robot moved each part of its body.

Noir Editing Session 1

Session Review

Throughout this afternoon, the session was merely organizing my recent studio recording placing them into my sound library before I begin to import the foley sounds into Soundtrack pro.

The reason I have decided to use soundtrack pro instead of logic is simply that soundtrack pro is available on most university computers and unfortunately, I don't own a copy of Logic X.
