  • Laying in multitrack audio

    Posted by Patrick Simpson on August 22, 2007 at 1:53 pm

    I have a project we shot in a recording studio (of a band); we recorded multitrack audio during the shoot. So we have around 20 tracks of audio that I have to sync to video by hand. Once I have one track in, it is fairly simply to lay the other tracks in because the audio tracks are all the exact length and therefore have matching timecode since they were imported.

    My question is this: is there a way to group all of the audio tracks together so that when I lay in the audio, it lays all 20 tracks together? Kind of like a stereo track does with two tracks of audio – except with 20 tracks of audio?

    It depends on the Avid hardware you have. Mojo can capture 2 tracks at a time, Symphony and Adrenaline can capture 8 tracks at a time. Symphony Nitris and DS Nitris can capture 16 tracks at a time. But make sure the audio recorder and the Avid are getting the same video reference or you will have tons of pain & suffering.
