Technical Theatre 7

Today in technical theatre we continued to work on our songs. 

The fourth member of our group was here this week so we added her song too, which was Maps by Maroon 5. 

We decided that the chorus of that song, which is about thirty seconds long, should play at the end of all the other songs. We put it there and made sure it sounded right, and then we learned how to edit the volume of the different tracks. 

To do this, you have to click on the automation button in Logic Pro, Then you have the option to edit the volume on each track. We made sure all of the songs were the right volume, and then we did some research to find out how to make the songs fade into one another. 

We discovered that you can use the crossfade function to do this, and we spent some time making all of the clips fade into one another. 

Then there was a moment of panic when we realised we had made a huge mistake, Becca said we weren't supposed to have the songs overlapping and playing at the same time. 

We panicked a bit because we only had about ten minutes left, but as a team we managed to rectify our mistake in time. We moved every clip along so that none of them would be playing at the same time, and fortunately it turned out to still sound good that way.
We edited the crossfades to make sure they still worked and then we saved our project. 

Close one, but you learn from your mistakes, and at least we sorted it out!
