Download Video Editor Music
Natasha Wheat
Part sound editor, part project manager, and part musician, the music editor is an all-rounder who oversees the creative, technical, and logistical aspects of composing and implementing music in film and TV. With numerous duties including attending the initial spotting sessions, keeping the composer updated on picture edits, creating temporary soundtracks to assist in test screenings, and representing the interests of the composer in the final dubbing sessions, music editors guide the music from its conception to the final mix.
The scoring process begins with spotting sessions, initial meetings in which the composer and director discuss the number, placement, and content of musical pieces, or "cues," in the film or show. Music editors both participate in these discussions and take rigorous notes for the composer on the timecode, duration, and style of each cue. As the picture undergoes countless re-edits, the music editor coordinates with picture editors to keep the notes (and by extension, the composer) up to date.
The music editor also may be asked to build a temporary score (called temp music) from prerecorded tracks; this helps test audiences and studio executives preview the film even as the score is still in development. As the composer completes MIDI mockups of the actual cues the music editor switches them into the temp score, getting ever closer to the final film product.
As a film and TV sound editor, music editors share a similar career trajectory with effects editors and dialogue editors. Unlike the other two varieties of film sound editor, however, music editors tend to be a bit further along in their careers and must possess a certain degree of musical training in order to communicate with composers and choose temp music.
Many music editors start their careers as interns, apprentices, or assistants working in recording studios, mixing studios, sound-editing houses, or major film studios. With experience and connections, music editors can climb the ladder in their department. For most audio post-production engineers (a.k.a. sound editors) becoming a supervising sound editor is the ultimate goal, but as this involves working with all sound sources (not just music) it's not ideal for everyone. For a dedicated music editor, establishing a long-running relationship with a particular composer and working with them consistently could be every bit as rewarding.
Aspiring music editors should look for internships and apprenticeships with the post-production audio departments of major film studios, or with independent post-production studios that cater to the film and television industry. Additionally, both independent audio houses and film studios offer entry-level positions, although they're unlikely to be in music editing. Networking can be important for music editors, insofar as it helps them meet working film and TV composers and create a rapport.
Music editors must be technical, organized, and creative. Similar to a project manager, much of their job revolves around organizing and distributing information. However, they also have to make their fair share of tough creative decisions, whether it's choosing how to cut a cue in order to make it fit a scene or selecting the most effective temp music to underscore an emotional scene. Useful traits include fastidious attention to detail, the ability to work and communicate with many different kinds of people, and a passion for storytelling through music.
Thats all i got for music editor. I would love if we could get some the features. Sorry for making a very long post with a lot to read. But I hope this helps improving the music editor in some way. Thanks
so. what i did is go to audio > music > roboto > playlist. and there it shows the songs on "newwaveasset" (i dont even know if this is the right route. but its what i found). if i open em. frosty crashes. i can only import things in .bin. and i can just export in bin or xml.
The issue is, unlike game engines and drawing tools, I know absolutely nothing about audio editors. It seems really fun to make my own music and sound effects, but there's so many out there and I don't know where to start. I'm still not even sure what kind of music I'll enjoy making the most -- so anything is fair game.
Sounds a good idea, but on the otehr side, the few times you plan on going in the MR for hours, you can just turn off the music for those sessions? Don'T ask them to modify to much of the game's core stuff, we'll ended up with weird sound behavior all over the game after for a few patches. ;)
Turning down the music volume is so obvious is that I'm sure OP knows about it. The goal is different (think what not how). The idea is to have a possibility to play the music by default, so every time you're in DCS just to play a mission then have the music playing.
However when while working on mission in a mission editor there should be a quick and easy way to have the music stopped. This could be a check box in the mission editor itself or a "play music in mission editor" option under audio tab. I'm sure ED could decide on the best.
Music in mission editor? That is definitely not a good idea. I realized that the first moment I started to work with messages and sounds. I would not miss any music in editor even when I don't work with sounds. It's reasonable to turn it off in the mission editor, I'm surprised this is even an issue.
KENWOOD Music Editor Light is a Windows application used to analyze the file structure of the USB memory or SD memory card containing music files and readily create a database allowing various search functions to be performed.
as I work on an update to eyeland (shameless plug), i'm finding it's really tough to get close to the loudness of music and sound heard in games made with the SDK and other non-pulp environments without it distorting/clipping. i assume that with those games you can bring in externally-made mp3 files or some such format and those files can be processed with audio volume compression. (compression helps to to tamp down the loud spikes and bring up the low valleys, making it possible to raise the overall volume of your music without clipping or distortion.)
OVERALL - try keeping your music from getting too dense. making sure there aren't too many notes at the same time piling up on each other will help. I went back to a few tracks and listened for problem areas and just took out a few notes here and there and it was hardly noticeable. sometimes i'd move the notes to create a sort of syncopation and wound up liking the edited track better.

Music editors are responsible for all the music in a film or TV production, including the soundtrack and any music created by the composer. The extent of their role varies considerably depending on the type of production concerned.
On a medium-budget film, they usually start work while the film is being edited. They work with the director to decide on the purpose of the music, find a style to suit the story and mark the points in the film where music is required (spotting). Then they develop the temp (temporary) score.
Music editors then work closely with a composer, who is usually appointed by the director, and who composes the music using the temp score as a template. The temp score is also used by the film editors to achieve the right tempo with the cut. Music editors often act as a bridge between the sound and picture teams.
They attend all recording sessions, helping with any revisions and design a 'click track' which is used to help the musicians achieve synchronisation with the movie. Working with a specialist music mixer, they create different mixes, lay down the tracks and fit them exactly to the picture, ready for the final mix or dub.
One of the final tasks for music editors on films is preparing the cue sheet - a detailed breakdown of all the music featured on soundtracks. This is sent to the Performing Rights Society and all exhibitors so that royalties can be paid every time the film is screened.
Composers write original music. They write themes to pictures and deal with any revisions, collaborating with the editor. Composers prepare the score, usually on midi files, for the orchestrator and copyist. They also prepare the score's electronic aspects for the recording sessions and deliver the score to the producer, together with all recordable media.
Music editors are usually graduates in sound technology or music. After graduating, they may work their way up the post-production sound department, starting as runners, training as assistants and progressing to re-recording mixers or sound editors. See the post-production runner job profile for details of how to get in.
At school or college:
If you want to go to university, A-levels or Highers music, film studies, media studies or English are useful. Or you might want to take a Level 3 OCR Cambridge Technical Diploma/Extended Diploma in Performing Arts.
