Studio timecode DAT decks in very good condition: Otari DTR90, Fostex D25. Record / insert / assemble, lots of other features. DA98 DTRS in almost good condition ... has trouble loading. Doremi V1 Hard Disk Video Recorder [SD] in good working condition. Unusual Sony PVW2800 with AFM mod: Uses BVW cards to record/play all 4 tracks. Head clogged. Random AES3 cables (Gepco/Neutrik). (I put these here rather than WTB/WTS forum, because I'm not selling. I'm giving away, since I'm moving my studio. The only hitch: you have to pick up in Boston. Before the end of July. Reply by forum mail or email. )

The company I work for wants me to create a new position in the post team and be in charge of it. You tell me what could be its name since I am not sure yet. Let me explain you what it is about first. We are a big TV production company, and constantly there are 2, 3 or even 4 shows being produced simultaneously. Each production has its own audio post team, which includes 4 people most of the times: A mixer (who also selects and edits the music, that's why here we call him the "musicalizer"), a dialog editor, a foley editor and an assistant who does backgrounds, conforms, and various tasks (everyone has to do everything at certain point when deadlines are tough). The…

Just wondering, if I upgrade from Protools 8 to Protools10 in the middle of a project, will I be able to import that project into Protools 10 and finish it there? It is a thirty+ minute film with a video track and lots of audio tracks. I have most of the dialogue edit completed but have everything else to do yet. Is this possible? Is it a good or bad idea? Thanks Bob

Hello everyone, I have a very short audio clip from my wedding that sounds like garbage. It was recorded back in 2005 on a non HD camera with who knows what kind of mic. I'm putting a video together for my wife's bday tomorrow and was hoping someone can help me fix the audio. The audio is from the onboard mic that the video guy recorded. It's at my reception so the DJ's announcement was too loud for his cheapo mic to handle, so the audio clips. Is this something that can be salvaged? The audio clip is 20 seconds long. Any help is appreciated.

I am getting a whine in my monitor speakers that seems to be related to my video card use. It persists even if screen monitor is turned off. Got worse with new Dell 30inch. Pulled USB cords to make sure it wasn't bleeding there. Also plugged in external USB Sound board and with no change. It will stop momentarily when I change window layout and then return. Also will pitch change when mouse is used. Thoughts??? I am getting grumpy!!

These look interesting. And the first displays a good attitude and approach (as you might expect from the guy making the tutorials). Largely about using Reaper along with Pro Tools. Anyone here watched some of these? Any thoughts? I learned about these here: ----- http://designingsound.org/2016/07/reaper-tutorial-series-an-interview-with-david-farmer/ Reaper Tutorial Series – An Interview with David Farmer [snip] DF: There were lots of great tutorials already online for Reaper, and they were incredibly helpful. However I couldn’t find any that directly helped a Pro Tools user trying Reaper for the first time. The information I needed was sp…

Hi guys, Strange thing happens. I have a client who claims a 2 channel (poly) Wave file from me comes in in FCP 7 as dual mono, while a ProTools file (not sure if it's a wave or something else) comes in as stereo. (Just the pan settings.) I forgot close to everything about FCP 7... Anyone knows how this could happen? I never heard of metadata inside a Wave / BWF file that contains panning info... thx, Bouke

Trying to sync audio with video in FCP7. Video is at 50p. Timecode on audio is at 25. When I try to merge them, it works, but only partially. Like half. I know fcp is picky with timecode and length of audio files be displayed wrong because of the different timecodes in the timeline. When I set the audio file's timecode to be 50 fps, via modify-timecode, what it does is it doubles the amount of frames within the same time frame. So what in 25 fps was TC 2:01:01:24 is now 01:01:01:49 when it should still be ending with frame 24 and continue up. Sorry if this is confusing. I'll add screenshots later. What this means is that nothing really happens. Audio in the merg…

Hi, folks! I need to record a talent in Chicago in February, and I've been inquiring with some studios there - the rates are all over the place: from $350 for a well-known post place, to $100 for a possibly hole-in-the-wall unknown studio. I need a pretty standard ADR setup, where the talent can view and listen to the source video, while recording his voice. It doesn't need to be fancy, as there won't be a client or a producer, and we don't need ISDN or other services. Just a clean voice file, timed to video, sent to us in a mono .wav file. Ideally, the cost would be $200 per hour or less. If any of you has personal experience with a good, reputable studio who ca…

Apologies in advance, I'm sure this is covered here on this group but I can't find it anywhere (yes I've tried various searches). I'm trying to import a polyphonic BWF file (8 tracks, recorded on Zoom F8) into Logic Pro X while preserving the track names that I have saved in the metadata. Is that possible? Seems like it should be a no-brainer but I can't make it work. I can do it by splitting the tracks into separate mono tracks via Wave Agent and then importing them separately into the DAW but then I lose my track name information, not to mention the annoyance of having to import each track separately. If you could help point me to some info on how to do this it would be…

A few months ago, a client called up with a rush change. Could I tweak the music levels in a show of his, in a hurry, like as soon as I get a break in the film I'm mixing for someone else? And get him a file in less than an hour from now? On the bad side, this guy refuses to accept pickups even when I guarantee the levels will match... I have to send him the whole 20 minute act, just because of a fifteen-second change. On the good side, I use a DAW that renders complex mixes faster than real-time. Like an idiot, I told him I'd do it... but there wouldn't be time for me to QC the result: I'd mix, render while I gulped lunch, send it to another machine, and upload f…

I jumped in to help a small non profit with their documentary program that had audio problems. Mostly it needed to have the audio balanced between two on camera talents shot outdoors while demonstrating with small animals. Each talent was mic'd separately, but I received a stereo audio track where one was left channel and the other on the right. The project was done in Adobe Premiere which cannot change stereo to mono once edited into the timeline. There are a lot of edits, so recutting it was going to be huge. I tried a round trip to Adobe Audition and it appears the problem is the same there. I'm told Pro tools can handle this easily, but I don't have it or know it. …

Hi, I'm looking for a laptop with Windows for DAW (Nuendo). Min. 16gbRAM(better 32), 1T storage and 15"-16" display. If I look at the CPU parameters, the 12700H seems good to me. But essential for working with sound are quiet fans. Can you please advise me of a suitable and above all quiet laptop? Do you have experience with Dell 7620 16 plus - Inspiron? Thank,you

I was on a shoot today where talent was out of range a few moments. i was providing my zaxcom recorded files from the tx to my client and i noticed that i mistakenly left transmitters at 29.98NDF when the mixer/recorder and camera were set to 23.98. am i understanding correctly that because all zaxcom files started at the full second i.e. 09:36:18:00 that i can go into wav agent and put in the corrected tc of 23.98 in the metadata of those zaxcom files and all should be good to line up for my client in editing? these files are not a complete deal breaker but more of an added bonus should they need them. i believe even if it doesnt work they could still be able to utilize …

Anyone have luck with ADX Trax Pro by Audionamix for isolating dialog?I have some work coming up that requires extraction from a premixed source. Apparently the originals were written over with background music and lost forever. Brilliant, I know...I told them I'd see what I can do. Usually use some spectral editing for short stuff but this app looks promising for working with larger material.

I am looking for someone to help cut FX on a low budget feature preparing for a temp dub. There is pay. The film is a 75 minute comedy and is fairly easy. The most difficult scene is a brief car chase involving a limo. You may do as little or as much as you wish. First deadline is in about two weeks. PM if you are interested. Thanks,

I have a bunch of polyphonic wavs from production with 8 tracks for a 2 person stationary scene. Some mics sound inferior than others ( I do want to keep all the tracks in the end) just for the offline edit that amount of tracks per clip makes it really cumbersome. I'd like to reduce the number of tracks to the strongest/cleanest ones (which seem to be the first 3), then sync....or I could sync first, then reduce. I just want to make sure that by working this way, post sound will still be able to conform to the 8 track original wav file. Has anyone done this with Wave Agent or some other program? Are there issues conforming to all tracks in the original f…

Hey Everybody, Technical question: I’ve been asked to provide ProTools music playback for a video that will be filmed at high speed (47.952 fps) and then ultimately played back (or shown on TV) at 23.976 fps. To achieve this. the talent will be lip syncing with the 2x music, so that when it’s slowed down the lip movement will appear normal. My question is this: Is there any way for me to be sending timecode to the Location Sound Mixer as we are filming? ProTools doesn’t offer fps of anything higher than 30, and nor does the Location Sound Mixer’s recorder. Thanks

On my current show I deliver files with meta data recorded on a Nomad. I talked to the assistant editor today and though he can read the meta data file (c2v), the audio regions in the Media Composer 6 timeline don't display the track names (as they do in the edit window in Pro Tools). Is there a way to make Avid Media Composer display the track names of my poly files?

I was looking for something like this in a recent thread but wasn't successful. Now this might be interesting in the quest to play surround content to users with stereo headphones.

Finally, there is no need to second guess your sample-peak limiter time and time again, or deliberately increase headroom to avoid a downstream problem. Now you can simply dial in your True-peak limit and let ISL take care of the rest. ISL is a transparent look-ahead limiter designed to allow you to get on with creative audio production while it takes care of True-peak compliance for you. ISL uses the standardised True-Peak algorithms of ITU-R B.S. 1770 and related standards and is suitable for the control of audio for Post Production and Broadcast applications. True Peak limiting can also be used to ensure that down-stream Codecs (mp3, AAC etc.) do not introduc…

Izoptope are having assorted sales until the end of the year and one of the items on deep sale is the Advanced version of Izotope RX 5, which is down to $749. Weirdly, if you already own RX 5 standard, the upgrade price to Advanced is $849 with no sale discount available, so it's currently $100 cheaper to buy Advanced outright than to upgrade from standard. No idea why this should be, but the same applies to the RX Post Production Suite, currently down to $999 for the full program, while the upgrade from RX 5 standard is still at $1,149. I've had this confirmed by Izotope; see below. Hi John, Thanks for reaching out. You’re right, the current promoti…
