Some cool looking tools.

Well, I know its not super-sexy, but that ADR tool–if it works as advertised–could be quite useful to me.

I’m far more impressed with the Logic 9 videos – never tried it but the editing features look fantastic. I agree the ADR thing could be cool – have to wait ’til NAB to see the full feature set etc.

I can’t help wondering what use it is to have software to sync ADR in an audio system that is likely to be found in a video edit suite which lacks sound proofing, acoustic design and good microphones plus monitoring and experience to record ADR in the first place.

There has been ADR auto syncing software available for DAWs for over a decade so I see this as a curio and somewhat of a gimmick.

Lets say your cutting some dialogue and you want to cut out after person A says “food”, but you can’t because person B begins speaking over the word. This happens to me all the time and my first try is to find another instance of person A saying “food” in the clear and dropping it in. This tool would help make the match easier and save a bit of time. This also allows for a simple audio record of replacement lines without having to go to an ADR studio. It’s not a big deal, but I like it.

Logic is great. It has been my active DAW for the last three years. As a suite, it came with an amazing group of plugins and loop material. There are some PC DAWs I preferred more, once upon a time, though I stopped using those after settling in to FCP. I’m also paying with ProTools 10 now, but I haven’t had enough time to monkey with it to see how I like it compared to Logic. I don’t think of Audition as a DAW, particularly, but as a adjunct like Soundtrack Pro. If I remember correctly, Audition is built on a very good Audio Editor from the ’90’s called Cool Edit.

I don’t get your thinking. Why would this defacto be done in the same place, in the same rooms?

It is a little curio/gimick feature. But so what? If it actually works, it will make my life easier 5-15 times a year. And it comes free in a suite I will buy whether it is there or not. Its not like Audition–however cool its Cool Edit foundation–is going to become my main DAW. I mean, how about a little perspective here.

Now, I hadn’t thought of that! I do that kind of cutting routinely, but I do wonder how effective it would be on single syllables, since it seems to work by reapportioning the gap space between hard attacks and decays. And, of course I wonder how effective it really is at all. With most tools like that, I end up back doing things by hand, but they are definitely fun to think about.

That’s correct, Adobe aquired CEP in 2003 (I believe)… I’ve been using it since it was v1 of Cool Edit. Sonar X1 is my main DAW, but Audition integrates so well with Premiere, I find myself using Sonar almost exlusively for music now. The round tripping between PPro and Audition has gotten good, so now I just find it easier to build up mixes there. IMO, it’s defintely worth a try.
