AAS (39) - Making the track for "Curious Incident"

I had to put all of the dialogue tracks together to form two longer tracks. I also had to put music that was appropriate for each part underneath, as well as finding a convincing tube train sound effect (for when Christopher and Man with Socks narrowly escape getting hit by the tube). I wanted to make just one long track but decided against this, as it would be near enough impossible! This is because we would have to ensure that our timing was deadly accurate during the live scenes to ensure that our sound effects came in at the right time. Therefore, I split the track into two with a third track in the middle of  the tube sound effect. Below is how I made the tracks for our version of the London scene from "Curious Incident".

Track 1   -   (All up to the tube):

• Downloaded our dialogue tracks from the email sent to me by Ollie M
• Converted all of these Mpeg4 tracks to wav files and dowloaded them again, placing them into one folder (screenshot number one)
• Opened Ollie's first track on audacity and added the "Left Right" track in the right place - trimming the beginning of this track so it fit better, and also cutting the end so there weren't as many "left right's" as we only wanted Ollie to say eight of them (screenshot number two)
• Put all dialogue tracks in the right place and edited them so they flowed one in to the next (though leaving a gap between the voices and the information, for the live dialogue of the station guard)
• Put the downloaded theme tune track into audacity, and split stereo to mono, to enable me to transfer on to the track in progress (screenshot number three)
• Put the theme track into the track in progress and layered it underneath the desired section of dialogue. Cut the track to the appropriate length and did a fade in and a fade out to make the transition smooth (screenshot number four)
• Did the same above for the information section into the Ed dialogue but with a different track of music. I used a techno track as it suited modern day London - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=howEQTHVl3Y. I cut this to the right length and put it in the right place of the track (screenshot number five)
• I didn't put any music underneath the section that starts "stand behind the yellow line" as it makes the moment more tense and allows Christopher to concentrate, as it were.

Track 2   -   (Tube sound effect):

• Downloaded the desired tube sound effect
• Cut the track to the desired length, using audacity
• Put a fade in at the beginning of the track to give a sense of the train approaching, and a fade out at the end to give a sense of it getting further away. 

Track 3   -   (Tube Voices):

• Imported the track from my folder onto audacity
• Put the mono version of the theme track underneath the dialogue
• Faded in the track and cut it to the right length
• Faded out the track at the desired moment.

Finalising:

• Saved all three tracks as projects
• Exported them all as the correct files
• Downloaded them all into one album (screenshot number six)
