Hello,
I thought everyone may be interested to know that you can produce a
pretty good podcast using a combination of SOund Studio to record
voiceover work, and SOundtrack Pro for sequencing and mastering. The
only problems exist in dealing with selected clips, as you may not
select a single clip using Voiceover. Selecting all to the right or
left of the play head on a track in the timeline is possible, but
ironically you can't just select the one your play head is currently
stopped on. Hopefully that gets fixed in a future version with a
option-space or option-return or something. You can move the clips
using gridline, and zoom in and out to increase or decrease
granularity. Effects are easily applied, and are surprisingly
accessible. Automation is possible, just turn on touch or latch mode
and force move your mouse to the slider you would like to control. I
may invest in a control surface, but I want one with only faders and
knobs, no mic pres or other expensive junk that goes beyond simply
controlling my on screen assignments.

Now, a little about the show. This is something I've wanted to do for
quite a while. I've had tons of binaural audio saved up, and now I
have a way to share it with everyone. If you've ever visited Six Flags
Great America, you'll enjoy this audio. If not, why not explore some
of my local theme park every week with me. This week's episode has us
traveling over to Space Shuttle America, a simulator ride that was
closed at the end of the 2007 season for unknown reasons. Rumor is the
Intimen MotionBench system they had failed at the end of the system
and they don't have it in the budget to fix it. But who knows. Also, a
ride on the Daemon coaster. The coaster starts out with a lift hill,
you turn to the left, go around a corner, drop and invert through two
loops, through a crazy tunnel with lighting effects, and then you slow
down. After that, you head right into two corkscrew turns and the ride
is over. One of the classic coasters at the park. We then go and see
Show Stoppin' which was the new show for 2007 for the Grand Music
Hall. I've got much more to share, so stay tuned.
Now, this is something I've wondered about, is anyone else interested
in learning about Soundtrack Pro? Let me know, the program really does
rock.
