Aplicații ale calculatorului în post-producția sonoră cinematografică
Computer applications to film sound post-production

Summary/Abstract: The beginning of the 21st century has offered the common person countless digital devices able to generate, capture, reproduce, store, but also process freely (without losing quality) audio/video signals. Once fragmented and encrypted in a binary format (successive series of 1 and 0), captured information can be transmitted instantly to other devices in the system (using the same digital technology) specialized in certain post-production procedures. In general terms, post-production involves a variable number of modification actions in order to completely subdue the originating material (here, the recorded audio/video signal) to the artistic vision of the creator. In a previous article in “Information and Communication Technology in Musical Field” entitled “Digital Music Editing” we presented the systematization and theoretical explanation (for practical assimilation) of the specific techniques for the processing of sound recordings (musical and non-musical) pre-existing in the form of digitalized information. In the present article we will use this knowledge in our pursuit of processing, overlapping and combining distinct acoustic elements (human communication, Foley sounds and film music) to produce the soundtrack of the fiction short film entitled “The Contract” (director Horaţiu Damian, 2010).
