film scoring in Traktion

[burno70]

I want to do the music score for a friends film project, I'm using Traktion and have heard that there is a programme that can allow you to do this within traktion, does anyone know what itis and where I would get hold of it?

Thanks.

Here's a little known product that will do the job:

yeah I know T2 contains facilities to do score music to film but I've got T1 at the mo and want to use it for this.

Well I don't know what platform you're on, I think there is something available for PC that will play video in a vst plugin within Tracktion. I use a Mac and was delighted to discover that quicktime player would play as the uppermost application while Tracktion continued to record in the background. I helped a friend out to record some music over a small film clip. It was a little fiddly, I started tracktion recording and then switched to Quicktime player and hit play. To get the timing right I had Tracktion's timecode dispay visible behind Quicktimes floating window and just hit play on it when Tracktion got up to the one minute mark. It wasn't ultra precise but we got the job done. My friend got a distinction for the project (a university assignment) so happy days

burno70 - you're a mong.
Who do you think you are? Ennio Morricone? More like Lena Zavarone.

Thanks for that Steve,
and Gerbles, I would rather sound like Zaverone than look like her - you stool.

Catch ya later a$$ face.

That's a decent idea. I just tried it, but enjoyed the experience with NicePlayer (http://www.indyjt.com/software/?show=niceplayer) more, since it almost blends into the Tracktion interface. NicePlayer has a very reserved and unobtrusive interface. Give it a shot (it is free, after all).
