Sound Mixer for behind the scenes

Today our group continued with the prototype for the sound mixer. Many problems occur such as getting the volume tuner to work on a scrolling animation, which we could not figure out how, so the group decided to go with simple buttons that has the volume up and down function. Another problem we had to discuss is that whether we could do the sound mixer in Adobe flash, before trying out, we got some fla files from our previous semester and tried to import the file to Indesign but it did not worked out. Then we proceed to finding ways to convert the fla file into html, Mr.Razif suggested a software call swiff, which was able to convert the file to html, but was unable to read the animation, so the group decided to just stick with Adobe Edge Animate. 

This was a prototype I did for the sound mixer. The 'play' and 'pause' button worked perfectly, together with the volume control buttons, only downfall is that it does not control the animation for the volume as seen on the right side of the stage. Mr.Razif suggested that we just use the scrolling and design on the mixer which would be able to be scroll, but does not affect anything.


As for the sound wave on top of the sound mixer. We decided to import the multi track into audition or pro tools and play the tracks, replacing it with equipment and instrument at the side. With the tracks playing, we would use a screen capture video and then placing this video into Indesign, when click on the play button on the sound mixer, the video on top will play, and it would look like as if the music is playing with the sound wave appearing.
