ProTools Question
I had a client that wanted indivilual .wav files of each paragraph that was
read. This was for a Power point lecture. I recorded the information, split the paragraphs into regions, bounced (only) the paragraphs that had edits to disc, and exported the complete regions to their respective files. Is there a faster or easier way to do this? New file during tracking for each paragraph seems clumsy, and not fast, plus the talent would be there all day. Suggestions? Richard H. Kuschel "I canna change the law of physics."-----Scotty |

ProTools Question
If there are no plug-ins or volume changes.. but simply straight edits..
Consolidate would be the fastest method, as opposed to BTD. You can also Ctrl+Shift+K (on the Mac) to export selected regions as files.

I recorded the information, split the paragraphs into regions, bounced (only) the paragraphs that had edits to disc, and exported the complete regions to their respective files. Is there a faster or easier way to do this? Yes. Set up the session so that .wav files are used/created by default. Track and edit as normal, and then when you have your regions defined, select a region and do a 'Duplicate' from the Audiosuite menu. In the Audiosuite menu that comes up, change the options so that something like 'one continuous file' is selected. This will copy any edited regions (and whitespace) into one new file whose length is what you select in the edit window. Repeat this until all regions are copied to separate files. The good part is that the duplication happens at hard disk speed, so if you have a modern machine, it can be quite fast. All fades, empty space and audio will be coalesced into a new file. (The only odd behavior is with muted regions - try to avoid those as the audio is essentially unmuted after duplication). The downside is that Audiosuite duplication won't incorporate any processing you've done to the track. That would have to be done in realtime, or by applying AS versions of all of your plugins to the track, a tedious and painful situation in its own. This means that you have to get your sound by tracking 'wet'. For just voice though, this is not such a big problem. How you'd do this is to bring the audio into the mixer via an aux input, process it with plugins as needed and route the aux to an internal bus. Then, set up an audio track whose input is that bus and print the effected track to disc. If you're paranoid, you can also set up another audio track and set its input to the dry interface input and track that too, but remember to turn its fader down so your monitoring isn't all messed up. New file during tracking for each paragraph seems clumsy, and not fast, plus the talent would be there all day. Indeed - no need for it either, and even that would still have messy heads and tails to trim off. I've used exactly the method above for a client doing exactly the same thing as yours and it was fast and efficient. You can also name the duplicated files easily in the edit window by double clicking on them after they're dup'ed. You'll probably need to name them according to the script page number or some other scheme that the producer comes up with. Best of luck, Monte McGuire |

I had been using PT3.2 and the new versions have a ton of stuff that I didn't have on the other version. A bit overwhelming at first, but I'm slowly getting the hang of it. Richard H.

A bit overwhelming at first, but I'm slowly getting the hang of it. 3.2 was a real pain in the rear! If you can go up to 5.1.1, I'd say it's worth it. The editing features are really pleasant, and sound quality is tremendously improved too. The old 3.2 mixer was a 20 bit single precision mixer and sounded pretty rough. 4.1 provided a 24 bit undithered mixer, but you can get a real 48 bit dithered to 24 bit mixer for 5.x. Download it at http://download.digidesign.com/suppo...ered_mixer.hqx and you'll have a 48 bit internal desk that dithers each output to 24 bit. It'll work on PT 5.0 and higher. Nice stuff...
