got handed a task at work today on the grounds of "oh sam, you're a musician*, you should do the music for these microvideos we're doing for ebay," and boy, did you know that making a cohesive audio statement in four seconds or less is hard?
Like making a song is easy, but this? I've got 8 bars to work with here and any reverb/tails needs to end inside those 8 bars.
*ex musician but i do still have a DAW [Caustic] on my phone, so like an idiot, I said yes.
EDIT:
I have realized I'm doing this backwards; we are now re-shooting the video to match the audio 👀
this computer was not meant to run photoshop, let alone davinci resolve. The boys from the lab hooked up an embarrassing array of server fan modules to let me do the most basic color correction in somewhat-real time (still laggy as shit; "why are you bothering with color correct?" because we use the worst fluoro lights in the world, everything I don't color correct looks like it happens in the Matrix). I've never seen this machine hit all 64GB of RAM being used before; if this is an ongoing (non-one-off) project I'm going to be requesting a graphics card for my machine because Intel Integrated Graphics hates running Davinci Resolve.
