DanieldH Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 I am booming on a show where we had a sick leave cover mixer for a day, operating the shows rental 788t. Post complains now, that since then consecutively recorded mono clips end up on a new track in the timeline. The first clip on A1 the second on A2 and so on. The phenomenon occured before and was solved in the past by doing a factory reset on the 788t. However, I wonder what setting in the 788t causes this.

Paul Isaacs Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 I'm not sure I fully understand the question, but setting the 788T to polyphonic wav may be what Post is after in this case. Or if they want monophonic files, there is a monophonic file setting in Avid preferences which needs to be checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I fail to see the problem. Mono or poly is not important, should behave the same. What you can do is a little trick with file names on mono files. sound_04.wav will end up on track 4 in Avid, no matter if it was recorded as track 1 in the recorder. But, don't you have one of the older (known good) files to compare? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanieldH Posted June 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 Thnx for your replies. The 788t ist set to poly.wav. Anyhow you end up with a file containing a single track, either by arming only one track or route only sources to one armed track. I talked to post again. Apparently, whenever a mono clip is added to the timeline behind another mono clip, the behaviour occurs, if the clips where recorded by the mentioned colleague (or his settings). They do not have to be recorded consecutively. The effect looks like this: https://pastebin.com/cSP5P64S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pindrop Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 Of course the location sound mixer is entirely responsible for bugs in Avid software, and should be interrogated and blamed at the earliest opportunity...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Constantin Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 In Pro Tools when you import audio you have the choice of just putting it into the region list or to move it straight to a new track. Maybe here something similar is happening in Avid? If it could be as simple as that... in any case, Pindrop is definitely right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouke Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 I totally do not understand what you are saying. Avid has mono or stereo tracks (And stereo is only used for already finished mixes). You cannot put multiple input tracks in one track. Could post make screenshots like we're in 1998 or something? Do send me a testfile, I'm a seasoned Avid editor, and I highly doubt this is a bug.

DanieldH Posted June 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 Here is a screenshot I got from post. More colorful than my asci art, I guess. I've talked to post again, they somehow do not feel comfortable sending project files to "some guy on the internet" or don't have the time to create one. I've asked them for some wav where the issue occures and some where it does not, so I could compare the metadata. Still waiting, but my engagement ends on monday, so it is somehow "case closed" for me. I've created this thread, in the hope someone had run into the issue before. Anyway, thanks for your help so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
