Construction: Editing - "The Sound Transition"

Today's lesson involved adding the sound transition to the second half of the documentary; a happier and more uplifting tone.

The crossover involved a few changes to the soundtrack, using Coldplay's "A Hopeful Transmission" until the door is opened, where it fades into the next track "Don't Let It Break Your Heart" signifying the extreme change in mood.
The two Coldplay songs when imported separately created a gap, that even when overlapped, lost a few seconds of sound. After spending some time editing the sound, and not being successful, I decided to research online for other methods of "merging" the tracks. I found that iTunes itself had a feature, that allowed tracks from a CD to be imported as one track. I inserted the CD and the song's were ripped into iTunes using the "Join CD Tracks" feature, which reduced the "jump" between tracks and successfully merged the tracks together as one.

Although the sound transition is now a lot smoother, due to iTunes' "Join Tracks" feature, the track itself is too long and needs to be cut considerably for it to end with the end of the song without dragging on further. To do this, I created a new project in GarageBand and imported the track from iTunes.
