Audiosuite Plugins…

Mixdown is the other option

depends which version youre on.
MC7 has the option for more and a master fader is added for overall control and metering.
But really once youre going into multiple plugins etc in avid, id strongly suggest you flip into Pro Tools where you can do the audio properly.

Do you really mean Modist
“a maker and seller of fashionable gowns and millinery for women.”
or Modest
“unassuming in the estimation of one’s abilities or achievements.”

Ah yes, Pro Tools. That program I don’t own and can’t really use. heaven forbid I want to just apply a couple different audio plugins to my offline cut. I’m on MC7 so I’m aware of track-based RTAS effects. Unfortunately, it’s completely impractical to dedicate an entire track for one clip.

It’s sad really that Avid struggles so much with providing simple solutions for a simple problem. Need to put to audio effects on a single clip? Just do an audio mixdown, use a dedicated track, or bring it in to pro tools. By all means, don’t just allow users to step into audio clips the way they step into video clips.

HI
I sympathise with your annoyance – I even slightly agree, but I tend to think that its best to remember that MC is a video edit platform, not a pro sound tool.

Equally Pro Tools has some but limited video editing facilities within, but to an avid editor its functionality would seem to be so limited as to be useless.

I find mc’s limitations on the audio side frustrating too and would like far stronger pro tools like automation features, but that is why they have pro tools i guess. Its even more frustrating for me as Im a dubbing mixer in a full on Pro dubbing studio with a big PT rig and desk. I go looking for high end tools like im used to at work, when editing at home and get annoyed too.

Sorry to revisit this thread, but I was also wondering… can Protools ‘stack’ audiosuite effects on individual clips?

[Peter Groom]

Hi
No
My understanding is that MC 7 “stacks” audio effects on the mixer fader strip in the same way as Pro tools does, ie you have a certain amount of sends or insert points on any fader strip, and that is that.
I think its 5 on MC7 from memory.
Pro tools naturally has a lot more but its an audio application.
