Advanced Concepts for Dealing with Timing in Film Music
In Chapter 11, we discussed how to enhance and shape blended sounds together and export the final score to video. Since we’ve explored synchronization aspects and dealing with timings specific to film scoring in Logic Pro, we are now going to look at some advanced concepts in general, and how to deal with timing in film music.
It’s not an easy task to get film and music synchronized and if you’re working with a complex music cue, it may require more elaborate timing calculations. The more complex the timings of the film, the more challenging it will be to synchronize the music to the picture.
In this chapter, we will look at how to manually calculate bars and beats based on the length of the film and find the most suitable tempo with the most compelling form and structure. We will compare the old methods of synchronization to picture and what’s applicable today. We will also look at additional...
