ABSTRACT
This chapter looks closely at the more practical aspects of building the sound design, specifically how to work with multiple tracks within a nonlinear editing timeline. There are two tracks for dialogue in You Got It scene 28: DIA 1 contains Jill's dialogue recorded on location, and DIA 2 contains the Caller's voice on the telephone, which was recorded in a studio during postproduction. There are three sound effects tracks in You Got It scene 28: SFX 1 consists of the bird calls ostensibly coming from Jill's computer speakers. SFX 2 contains all the telephone ring tones and pick-up/hang-up handset noises, as well as a few more bird calls at the beginning to create some extra texture. Finally, SFX 3 has the police siren effect. Most of the creative audio editing choices, like split edits for dialogue, sound bridges, and ambient track layering, are accomplished during the picture and sound editing stage.
