    I guess this is for dodgy audio, eh? For instance, the audio guy recorded at too low a level, right?

    I haaaaaate that, damn audio guys!

    Guys,

    If the audio is too low, what is the hesitancy of taking the clips into Peak and raising the gain a bit? You get a stronger file and a bigger waveform to boot. I do this all the time.

    Hi Chris

    Even better, I think with FCP5 and Soundtrack Pro we will be able to do this non-destructively and within the FCP-STP workflow ie. embedded STPro sequences in our FCP timeline.

    I think that is very exciting. Especially since I like to avoid making permanent changes to audio from captured footage; I like to leave all that to our audio mastering guy! He gets very cranky if I fiddle!

    Can’t wait to try the FCP-STP roundtrip workflow. Anyone tried it yet?

    Regards
    Peter

    Hey Peter,

    Dang, do you ever sleep? Isn’t it the middle of the night down there?

    Yeah, I’m looking forward to STpro, if I can ever get it all to work! I don’t have an audio guy, so I can fiddle all I want.

    [Sean Lander] “Not so. If you have low levels and you need to get into the waveform to perform a precision cut you can’t see i”

    OK, that’s avery different matter. I didn’t understand what you wanted at all. That would be nice!

    To me, though, that’s more of a workflow issue. I prefer to take serious audio issues into a dedicated audio app, just like I prefer to take serious compositing, graphics & titling into dedicated apps. But that’s me. Your own milage may vary, of course.

    Don’t we all mate. But these days your expected to be a all singing all dancing jack in the box who cuts stories faster than real time.
    At least in OZ anyway.
