Soundtrack production

When recording the character's voices we used this Tascam 4-track. This shows what we could change during recordings. There are the green effects dials that, for these voices, were generated by a monotron and a delay pedal. The white dials are for changing the speaker pan. We could adjust the pans so that certain tracks can be heard from either left or right, or both. Over on the top right hand side are the sound levels. These are shown in the red area. This means the voice is too loud, the lights should be in the yellow/green section for them to be the right volume. 

This is the sound set up with our microphone, 4-track, guitar pedals and monotron. We even lit candles to put the voice actors in the right 'creepy, dark' feeling.

Here is the music recording set up. We recorded onto the 4-track once again. This picture shows all 9 pieces of equipment that we used. There is a 6 channel recorder than could also have adjusted effects, volumes etc. Most of the equipment are synthesisers. 

This is the 6 channel recorder. Here we could adjust the gain, effects, the pan (like the 4-track) and the volume of each track. On each track is a different instrumental section of music, chosen by the Sound generator and the Multi Timbral sound module and then composed using the keyboard.

This is the program 'Clean' that me and my Dad used to transfer the music and dialogue from cassette tape to MP3 files. I understand that there are other file types that are better quality but this software would only save in a couple of file types and the best on the small list was MP3. These photos show the recorded files on the left. These can then be opened in the timeline and fades can be added there. On the right side there are some audio editing options. The only ones we used were speed and reverb. Speed was used to speed up the title theme slightly and to slow down the White Rabbit's dialogue to sound less like a child.
