Description:
Audio - they say it makes 50% of your video. But how do you do it? A strong soundtrack can save a poorly shot video, but a bad sound will kill a good-looking video.

In this class, we will cover techniques for recording and making voice-overs sound better. Music is a driving factor in your production, techniques to make music do what you want it to do will be shown, from making the music 'end' with your video to using EQ to help the music be strong, yet still hear the VO. Oh, and what is that noise in the background? Or do you have too much hiss? Using Soundtrack Pro, we will finally be able to lessen the noise. Proper output levels and bars and tone will be explained. Going to air with a commercial, you want to be sure it can be loud enough! Other engineering procedures and artful considerations will be discussed. Time for Q& A is assured, as well.
