In the same way that each of us has our own unique approach to sound selections and design, I’d hypothesize we each have our own individualized color-coding habits as well. Do some people seriously color-code magical chimes as anything other than yellow?? My curiosity motivated me to do a simple survey around the office—asking each editor exactly which color from the Pro Tools Color Palette they’d choose for specific sounds. The results were fascinating!
