Hey guys,
I've got a production position this spring semester designing sound for our dance company.
My limited sound design experience is with Apple's Soundtrack Pro (it's part of Final Cut Studio), Audacity, and SONY Sound Forge. The workflow at school is Pro-tools based, so that's a little different. Anyone familiar with Protools know if the learning curve will be that big?
I want to do a lot with surround sound: really playing with the space and creating some really awesome acoustics. We did a demonstration with that in one of my classes, and it was really cool - but it is my understanding that Qlab might not support surround sound audio. Is that the case? If so, other than cueing the show manually, how could I overcome this?
Also, any words of advice for a first timer? What mistakes should I avoid, what should I be sure to do, etc.
Thanks
Chris
