Did you know
- TriviaShe was the first music editor at Universal Studios to design a digital workstation and record multi-track music directly to disk. Her initial system was tested on Columbo and successfully used to construct the temp score and subsequently to record, edit and dub David Newman's final score for the "The Flintstones" in 1994. Well known scoring mixer, Armin Steiner was an invaluable enthusiast throughout the entire initial process, when Digidesign had little knowledge of the demands of audio recording for film and could offer little technical support. Two years later, inspired by the success of Ms. Higgins pioneering work, Universal invested in several digital audio workstations for their sound effects department, albeit not Digidesign's Pro-Tools. Over the years however, Universal's Sound Department eliminated all their initial workstations, which proved over time to be less accepted in the marketplace, and switching entirely to Pro-Tools, the only digital system that she believed would change the face of audio recording, and indeed it has. Digidesign's Pro-Tools system is now the standard environment for every music editor working in film today.
