Audio editing in X

[Kevin Rag]

Hi Andy. Thanks for this tip. This would be very similar to how I did it in 7. In 7, I add edit on the int’l trk wherever I wanted to lose commentary, alt drag (copy) the int’l sound straight up onto the full mix trk. It was very easy, fast. Will try your method in X and report back.

Thanks a lot Andy. It worked. While not as straightforward as 7, it can be done and this is the only I was waiting for before going with X full on. The decision is made.
Thanks a lot to Trevor, Nikolas, Jeremy and everyone else who took the time to help me out. Really appreciate it:)

[Jeremy Garchow] “You’re right Trevor in that there is no multichannel audio monitoring. You can only see the summed output unless you solo Roles.”

So it seems to me that there’s 2 feature requests arising here:

1. Ability to assign roles to individual tracks on import / in media browser

2. Output bussing for Roles (e.g. in this case FULL MIX role -> A1 output, INTERNATIONAL role -> A2 output) with consideration for Mono vs Stereo vs Surround

I realise that for many audio is less important but in the niche OB/EVS market that FCP7 had cornered (and where OB companies are looking at Adobe PPro as a replacement).

And many more.

As powerful as Pr’s audio tools can be, I think that multichannel output in Pr is a lot more convoluted than it needs to be.
