Week One

In this first sound design class, we have been getting to grips with pro tools, this is the first time i have used pro tools so i was quite excited to try it out.

We looked at a sequence without any sound and we had to decide what sounds we would need to complete the sequence, thinking of what sounds was fairly easy, but deciding what type of sound you would use was a bit harder.

We were then given a library of sounds we could use to put in with the visuals, this was also fairly straight forward, but as it was my first time on pro tools i was getting a bit confused with changing the levels.
