    Pro Tools 與錄音室技巧基礎

    Basic Pro Tools and Studio Technique

    使用任何你可以操作的物件,錄製至少6個"單獨聲音"(喜歡的話,您也可以多錄一些),以及一個長一點的聲音物件(1-2分鐘)。將所有的聲音帶來,並錄進 Pro Tools 中。使用簡單的編輯功能來修整雜音,並適當的將它們排列起來。將這些聲音存成音效檔,轉換成 AIFF (「輸出至磁碟」),並燒成一張CD。

    Using any equipment of any quality at your disposal, record at least 6 'single sounds' (you can record more if you like), and one longer sonic event (1-2 minutes). Take all your sounds and record them onto Pro Tools. Use simple editing functions to trim extraneous sounds and sequence them appropriately. Save the sounds as sound files, convert them to AIFF ('bounce to disk'), and burn a CD.

    Pro Tools 編輯

    Pro Tools Editing

    兩個部分:

    Two Parts:

    1. 只使用 Pro Tools 的編輯功能 (例如:不使用處理器),用你的短音效檔做成1-2分鐘的具象音樂。再一次,轉檔,燒錄,並帶到課堂上來。
      Using Pro Tools editing functions only (i.e., no processing), use your short sounds to make a 1-2 minute piece of musique concrete. Again, convert, burn, and bring to class.
    2. 使用我們在課堂中討論到的記譜系統,或是自己的設計,製作一份結構圖說明你的長聲音物件。
    3. Using a notation system discussed in class or one of your own devising, make a structural map of your longer sonic event.

    繼續 Pro Tools 編輯

    Pro Tools Editing contd.

    使用你的結構圖做為總譜,並使用你的短聲音做為素材,構成一首新的作品,只使用 Pro Tools 中的編輯功能。

    學生作品範例:

    T-Map (MP3 - 3.5MB), Untitled (MP3 - 1.3MB), I'm Cold (MP3 - 1.9MB

    Using your structural map as a working score, and using your short sounds as material, construct a new piece, again using exclusively Pro Tools editing functions.

    Sample Student Work:

    T-Map (MP3 - 3.5MB), Untitled (MP3 - 1.3MB), I'm Cold (MP3 - 1.9MB)

    控制錄音室中的迴授
    Controlling Feedback in the Studio

    只使用錄音室中的聲音設備,製造迴授並錄進 Pro Tools。 你也可以加入多層迴授,使用外部濾波器以及延音器,並且將聲音繞回 Pro Tools 自己裡面。試著錄製5-7分鐘逐漸展開的聲音。

    Using only sound equipment in the studio, generate feedback and record it onto Pro Tools. You can then add layers using the outboard filters and delay units, as well as by routing the sound onto itself within Pro Tools. Try to record a continuous pass of evolving sound, 5-7 minutes in length.

    迴授處理

    Feedback Processing

    將你的素材塑造成5分鐘的音樂。必要的話多錄幾層,然後任意的在水平或垂直方向剔除。在這份作業中,我希望您限制自己只要剪下與分層 - 不要貼上!最後,我們會用這些曲子做為 約翰‧凱基的作品 "想像中的風景 第5號" 的演出原料。

    學生作品範例:We Value Your Feedback (MP3 - 4.5MB)

    Sculpt your material into a 5 minute piece. Record as many layers as necessary, and feel free to cull both vertically and horizontally. For this project, I'd like you to limit yourself to cutting and layering - no pasting! Finally, we'll use these pieces as raw material for a performance of John Cage's "Imaginary Landscape #5."

    外掛軟體

    Software Plug-Ins

    這一份專題,你將會隨機被指派一位同學所提供的作品 -- 使用這個作品當成下一部作品的模型。

    For this project, you'll be randomly assigned one of your classmates previous compositions -- you will use this as a secret model for your own next piece.

    1. 製作一份結構圖,突顯出你認為在這個模型中找到的相似處。
    2. Make a structural map, foregrounding whatever aspects of the model you find relevant.
    3. 使用 Pro Tools 與 Peak 的外掛軟體,並使用你之前的錄音與草圖(第一單元與第二單元),當作聲音材料,開始製作這一首曲子需要使用的材料。選擇5種以這種方式作出來的有趣聲音,燒成CD,並帶到課堂來。
    4. Using plug-ins in Pro Tools and Peak, and using your previous recordings and drafts (from Parts One and Two) as source material, begin creating material for use in this piece. Select 5 interesting sounds created in this manner, burn them to CD, and bring them to class.
