Things are getting pretty close to the end of the year but even closer to the final Sound Design project. There is a lot of assignment due this week and next week, however I manage to stay on top of all the other assignments so one of the last things I have to do is start and finish my Lara Croft assignment. I am entirely put of by doing this however for 2 reasons...
1. I needed to record my sounds off of a Zoom recorder. Since equipment has become fairly tight by the end of the semester, the last thing I would want to do is have to deal with the main technician. I won't say any names but he is known to all the students and even some lecturers to be unnecessarily rude (especially to students) and just generally unpleasant to deal with. So I was given the advice to just get my sounds off of the website 'Freesounds.org' and manipulate them inside Pro Tools. Which leads me to number 2...
2. I hate Pro Tools. It's definitely not the worst sound software, in fact it is the best if you know what you are doing. But it's definitely not user friendly and it crashes a lot. There always seems to be an issue where I am scratching my head trying to figure what I just did, or have to eject my hard drive and re-enter or have to move computers. I love editing, I'm just not cut out for sound design.
Well, I have a week to do it. Let's see how I do...
