It's been almost two years since we've all been together. How is everyone doing now? I'll start and be honest. I've done a few student animation shorts which were a lot of work but turned out really well. But, my day job has been getting the best of me.<br />

Here is a how to guide to set up the 1st cue in Logic.<br /><br />1st things 1st, make sure sample rate is set to 48K. Settings->Audio<br /><br />To import cue:<br />Options-->Movie-->open movie<br /><br />The audio track can just be drag n' dropped<br /><br />The film has quite a bit of lead in information so it needs to be synced up (the audio is already appropriately synced).<br /><br />Settings->Video->Video Project Settings<br />Set the Movie Start Time to the beginning of the time code on the cue (1:00:29:22)<br /><br />Now, find the frame that you wish to start the cue at. (I chose 1:00:35:04). <br />Settings->Syncronization. Set "Plays at SMPTE" to this value.m0joehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13840576464702259071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2559217513076985020.post-18991259780522964822009-06-07T13:03:00.000-07:002009-06-07T13:06:53.810-07:00Waking DreamsDear All<br /><br />The film named Waking Dreams is a fun 'coming of age'<br />comedy premiering tonight at the Sunset 5 Theaters in Hollywood.<br /> The score I composed features a number of interesting musicians including Shenkar (founding member of Shakti, and voice of the TV show 'Heroes').<br /><br />It would be a pleasure to share this with my fellow UCLA film scoring buddies.

I can't absolutely guarantee it will be the best ever, but it sure seems it will be extremely useful, and possibly refreshing.Renatahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09176862098723705239noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2559217513076985020.post-16763684405599101162009-04-01T22:38:00.000-07:002009-04-01T22:47:32.812-07:00Baton Shopping is GreatFor anyone else who has never purchased a baton before, let me tell you, there's nothing to make someone look cooler than going into a music store, standing at the counter, picking up different sized baton's for 20 minutes, and pretending to conduct until you find one that "feels good". <br /><br />Cork or wood grips? My preference was wood but the only one they had was tiny so I bought a cork one. <br /><br />Oh, even cooler: stuck in traffic with the newly purchased baton on the passenger seat and some Hadyn Scherzo on the radio.

Bruce Broughton made this as difficult as possible just to mess with us. Case in point: Violin I @ mm. 88 & 89. It's the same measure repeated but he uses D# instead of Eb the second time for no apparent reason. On top of that, doesn't measure 89 look like the strings have 4 beats? It should be 3/4 there.
