I was able to get some step by step directions from Digidesign who created the software Pro Tools. Their technical department held my hand and led me through the course of how to get me program to play again. I had to setup a new user (I have a pc) then delete several files if I found them, uninstall the software and reinstall it to the new user. Finally, after all that had been done, the program came up and I was back in business. Happy ending!
Now, about the new job I had the pleasure of working on last week.
Several talents had been booked for this job and we all were in the booth at the same time.We were performing separately but as a group. Each of us had a word or short phrase to say and we were to say it according to the rhythm of a click track. I'd never worked with a click track before but it was just a timing mechanism to ensure that each of the phrases would be spoken on the right beat. I have natural rhythm so it was easy for me but I'm sure that click track was probably very helpful for some of the others. Just kidding. But I do have natural rhythm.
The word I was responsible for was "Free". I said it several different ways, each time following the direction of the client. I think the client was happy when all was done.
Several of the talents were allowed some latitude with their phrase. They were allowed to use different affectations. Some of these might even find its way into the ad. We'll see.
I don't know where it will be aired but I look forward to hearing it. There will be music in the background and some special effects. It should be very good.
Well, I hope my next blog will find you well and happy. Come back to visit and I'm sure to have some interesting stuff to share next week.
