Does anyone know if there's an option in Premiere to view poly file metadata, most importantly, track names? I I spent half of yesterday doing a bunch of scouring on the interwebs trying to help out an editor that isn't familiar with poly files (because I'm a nice guy) and it looks like there is not.... I have FCP and the track names that I add in to my SD 633 are plain as day. See screenshot below: Thanks!

Cross post from DUC - Hi All - Hoping some of the helpful folks here can help me wrap my head around an issue I'm up against. The Breakdown: Location: Working on a doc that has some unique qualities. 28 tracks of music (live performance) were recorded live - I fed a mono mix to the main camera during the shoot, I also received a mono mix of the Dx mixers tracks during the performance. Post: I was given an OMF from FCP 7 that has a stereo music guide track, with each "song" clip having been re-named by the editor (sequential numbers at the end of the file name - editor was also provided a stereo mix down of all 30 tracks to use to edit to - a…

Hi, More and more colleagues sound recordists are using LCR stereo setup nowadays for wide ambient wild recordings, and many post-prod sound editor and re-mixer say that without the C they feel an "hole" in the middle. Being an ORTF setup (LR) long time fanatic I often argue that it depends how you choose to record the space you want to hear. I have tried it several times but always ended up listening to LR only as -mixed in a LR hearphone- wide spaces sound mushier. I found the C useful for proximity stereo recordings but for wide ambient I do not see the point. I know it is still an ongoing debate. What are your opinion on it, location sound or post-prod …

Hello all! I've been having trouble lately trying to deliver a finished ProTools 10 session with its files to a client. After wrapping up the final mix for a short film, I removed all the unused audio from the clip list, selected the "Save Copy In" option, and checked the boxes to copy "Audio Files" and "Video Files." A new session folder was created along with a audio folder inside it, and there I see a big list of the audio files I used in the session. After moving this new copy of the entire session to an external hard drive, I opened it with ProTools and received a box informing me a couple hundred files are missing and need to be relinked. After selecting "automatic…

With a freshly edited session of a short film I recorded sitting on the desktop waiting for mixing I thought I'd recalibrate my monitoring and aimed to get it close to 82dBVu at listening position with pink noise. I spent a bit of time trying a few other things out, matching levels with tone at 1kHz and 500 Hz, and then pink noise. I also matched with an aimed condensor and a omni mic into 2 different recorders. The results were surprising, interesting and concerning. After matching levels with tone my ears could detect what I thought were massive differences in level, even though both mics - hyper ( MKH50 ) were metering the same levels and the omni ( Cos11 ) was…

My workflow as a video producer to finish audio is to round trip audio from premiere or FCPX to audition or logic or protools and from there send it to Isotope RX4. I'm fairly new to RX4 so I'm wondering: If I open an audio/video mpeg4 file directly into RX4 can I save it back INTO the mp4 AV file intact, or does it become only an audio file? Same question goes for Audition or protools? Right now I have a 1.5 hour video that needs audio leveling and some spectral repair. It seems faster to just do it all in RX4. I just don't understand what an audio editor does to the video portion of the file. It seems like I don't have all the same tools when using RX4 as a plugi…

Hi, I accidentally managed to record a whole day's shoot with my Nomad set on frame rate 30, while the picture is 25. Now post is reporting problems with it, I don't know if it's an assistant or not, but somehow I assumed they would know how to deal with it and it seems they don't. What's the easiest way/software to change the frame rate on the TC? Apparently they're using Final Cut Pro. Thanks!

Well we usually work on different audio tools to mix our film, but all of them got something in comment..... The nice picture of the audio form, I guess we can learn allot from each other about the photo of our final mix, like u can see the db range, the pick limit, SNR, amb levels, and on and on. Well I know this topick is not so pro cience reference but we all use this nice audio wave pic to understand what's going on sometimes. Now let's see If I will manege to upload may latest final mix pic. Thanks all...

Not many applications import the cue points list from broadcast wave files, but if they did, what would you want to see? TASCAM HS-P82, etc automatically puts in mark points at the start of the data ("PRE" - for PreRoll start), at the instant the recording was started "REC", and an END point. Then if the user hits the Mark button, they get a MARK cue point. If the user hits the MARK button close to when the sticks are clapped, wouldn't that be useful in post-production? If so, you'd want to differentiate it from other Mark points, which might be short hand for "flubbed line here", "bad audio/plane overhead" etc. What about a "STIX" mark point? (We have a self …

Probably a bit OT here, but has anyone come across a Mac app that works with quicktime video files similar to the way Wave Agent creates sound reports from a folder of BWAVs? I'd like to dump a folder of h.264 Quicktime .mov files in it and end up with a list of the file names, and at least the timecode in and out points from the quicktime TC track - preferably in .csv format. Cheers, nick.

Hey Guys. Hope you are all well. This is Tim here from Sonniss. I just dropped by to let you all know that we are running a special 'Secret Santa' this year and I am inviting you all to take part... Why is it special? Because none of you have to buy anything and everyone gets free gifts! Christmas has always been my favorite time of year. It’s something that I look forward to, something I enjoy. So I really wanted to do something different this year at Sonniss. I just wanted to give you all something as a sort of ‘thank you’ and to wish you all the best. I wouldn’t have been able to get Sonniss to where it is without many of you in this forum, s…

I am trying to move to using RME Totalmix directly for surround monitoring control with the RME Arc controller. Has anyone figured out a good configuration for this ? It seems much better in quality just connecting the monitors directly rather than using a hardware controller. I managed to get a mute group working for all outputs and a button toggles this. The volume dial can be used to control a fader group for all outputs with a recall for calibrated level. My issue so far I am trying to figure out. When I power on the speakers with the power conditioner there is now a loud pop, I could avoid having mute on the SPL active. I am trying to address this without …

Hey! The JBL LSR305 is on sale for US$100/each at a bunch of places. That's $50 off the regular price, and $100 off for a pair (<== For the mathematically challenged). Out of the low-cost monitors I've heard (and occasionally suffered through), these are my fave. Looks like this is a Black Friday sale (and I don't know if the discount is available outside the US), but it could be that JBL will soon announce an update/replacement speaker coming out soon (what with NAMM not that far away). But even if there is an updated model coming out, this is a great deal. One of many vendors offering this price: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/LSR305

Hello, I was wondering if any post audio pros could answer this. We re-edited a finished film from years back. For the re-edit we used the 5.1 stems: The 5.1 dialogue tracks The 5.1 background tracks The 5.1 FX tracks The 5.1 Music tracks So all 24 tracks were carried throughout the edit. Now my question is what is the procedure to create new master Stereo and 5.1 files? For the Stereo file is it as simple as Pan all L and Ls channels to the left Pan all R and Rs channels to the right Leave C channels as is and discard LFE then export? For 5.1 would you just mute all tracks except the Center ch…

Since all of my work consists of being in the field I have not delved into post sound. I was looking into sound editing programs where I can cut sound files while still retaining the original TC from the source file. Ex. I have audio files from a Zaxcom TRX900 with TC stamps and would like to edit those files while still keeping the original TC before I deliver them to my clients. The only program I heard of is Pro Tools that I believe can achieve this but is there others? Thanks in advance. Gabe

I've been sound designing for many years now, as a hobby. I mostly use synths and also record ambient FX too. Does anyone know how this side of the industry works? If a television or film project needs some unique sound, whether it's ambient FX or synthesized, do they use outside contractors? Or do they just use their in house post team to do that?

I did a project this last week and they started first day with no timecode sync. To compound the problem the camera was set to 24 FPS and sound was set to 23.97... Looking to address the frame rate issue only in this thread. Any quick/cheap fixes? Batch processing? Public domain audio file converters? Thanks

I will post this in a more appropriate forum but was curious if someone here might have come across this. Been working with OMF's and pro tools quite a long time but first time running into this error shown below. same client I have worked with before never any issues. I have them sending me an OMF separated vs encapsulated because it is over a 2gb OMF and I read somewhere the size larger than 2gb encapsulated might trigger this error? But other posts on this topic didnt seam to generate solutions, other than size. I went thru all my recent omf's and all show up in pro tools as Version type 2.0. I have at least 1x OMF that is 2.16gb and it opened fine opening as file type…
