Mix 1: Pro Tools Room

Location: Melnitz 2458

Mix 1: Pro Tools Room [2458] is a Pro Tools Sound Editing classroom prioritized for use by students enrolled in the 452C graduate sound class. The Pro Tools teacher connects a projector to demonstrate pro tools software techniques on screen to the class. At other times, this room serves as a production sound transfer and sound editing space – especially dialogue / production sound editing and sound effects editing. Mix 1 features a Pro Tools HD system (PCI-X) with a 192 Digital I/O, Sync I/O and a Dual 1GHz G4 PowerPC computer. The station also features the HD1 Kit of Plugins and Digitranslator for converting OMF files from video projects into Pro Tools projects. There is also a rack-mounted DAT deck and a Nagra available for students to use when transferring production sound. Like all our sound rooms, Mix 1 no longer relies on tape for playback of picture. Rather this room uses playback of quicktime movies through Firewire DV Conversion and out to a standard definition NTSC TV monitor for external video guide, making it possible to edit sound at various frame rates, including true 24fps.
