What is PPS?
Soundscape is an twelve track sound mixing and dubbing facility. Running on a PC with dedicated hardware, it allows you to import sound from DAT, minidisk and video, and mix tracks together adding effects. It is used extensively in the school for producing radio programmes, internet broadcasts and audio assignments as well as being an important stage of the video post production process.

Background
Computer technology has impacted on all areas of the media industry. Sound post production is one of those areas. Gone are the days when editing is done by splicing quarter inch tape together. Now, Soundscape is one of several leading packages that offers a nonlinear editing approach. You can mix up to twelve tracks together, with full mixer control at CD quality sound. It has the ability to sync with timecode from a DVC PRO machine, offering maximum control for dubbing video programmes. There are many Soundscape units in the school, including two post full production sound dubbing suites.
