Waah! Don’t convert in iTunes!!! I would never do such a thing.

I work with sound in the CORP and Film Worlds.

Get a list together of the sound KHZ and BIT differences, and let the PT guy/girl sort out any changes needed for you. (I think you have it already, your list) The music should be written in the same frame rate as the sound edit should of been.

Have the sound at 48K 24BIT – As someone else said already it’s better to go down than up. Going up will destroy some of the quality within the audio track. The OMF should be set at whatever rate you are in in your session. The final out-come for TV (and high end sound/visual system users) should (in my eyes) be the highest possible.

Hi,

off topic:

I am a freelance Sound Designer. I have just found this forum as I wish to learn to edit with FCP.

On topic:

It IS POSSIBLE to reduce the background noise (in this case Metallica)

Using a sophisticated NR would be the way forward. I would suggest using the BNR on Pro-Tools or Waves have a few reasonable one’s – The second option would be to filter the frequencies (via a EQ) to reduce unwanted noises. If it hasn’t gone completely then you can always mask the sound with other sound FX. By this I mean that you can create alternatives within the scream – after all it is a horror movie.

If you know someone that has Pro Tools or another Pro. sound App then ask them. If not it’s going to cost you a little.

Let me know if you need any more help.

Cheers,

Lee
