Sound Design

One of the ways I do sound design on Pro Tools is to staggered the tracks.

Usually I will create 5 tracks. Typically the last track will be for the soundtrack.

For example if the scene is a guy walking in the rain with cars in the background.

Track one will contain the footsteps

Track two will have car sounds

Track three will have the rain

Track four could be various ambiance noise.

I will also lock the tracks so I dun accidentally move them. ctrl + L for PC and cmd + L for Mac

5 tracks for all that information...? In my world that is easily 6-8 mono tracks and maybe 10 stereo files. Atleast. Not to mention the VCA's and the Buses for Match and overall reverbs
