HI Curtis
I have a similar workflow to yourself, but have found (irritatingly) that i need to make bd compliant files in Sorenson AND dvd compliant files too.
Id really like to just make the sor sq BD files, put them into Encore, make a BD Iso and then switch to DVD , but i find that no matter what i do transcode settings wise, I always get a message saying its too big for DVD (which at 5.7 gb it is)
Ive played with transcode settings but havent found the holy grail yet to open it up.
I do find that using the filter in sor sq eliminates with field judddering to?

so i author the BD session with file from sor sq, make it all good with button etc, then copy the project and replace the fotage for the DVD file from sq.
If you know a better way do tell.

re
“Has technology reached a point where our needs and wants have outstripped whats actually been produced either in a hardware or software form?”

hang on. is that not the driving force behind ANY new invention / development.
The need exists and the tech doesnt?

Id not expect much joy with this unless its something basic like 1 leg has slipped to the other and youre listening to a LR stero file in mono. That whould be easy, but if it is truly on the same recording then youll need a re voice.

At least a vo is re doable, not like a shoot etc.
If its been supplied to you externally then just reject it and get the supplier to sort it if its his problem.

Interesting thought.

The concept and my want to mix various sound sources is far from new, but the lack of enthusiasm to over spec the pcs cards just to let me take everything out into the conventional mixer world rather than just do thing internally is understandable.

Ive not found anything yet though.

Yes its on windows but Im asked for a mixer section to allow the inserting of a variety of different applications running to be mixed. i guess options like basic eq, creating mix minus etc etc are all the things that youd take for granted on a mixer console, and thats what im asked for on this. The op of this mixer then needs to be routable to the streaming software also running internally.
Im sure skype calls, video content and local speakers on mic will all be needed in the mix.
I donty think the basic windows mixer is nearly flexible enough….. and if anyone has ever ready my other comments on this forum, id want decent metering on it too!!

Hi
id not seen that, and will take a closer look, but its not right in this case. Id have to equippe the pc with a far more advanced psound card to get all the channel feeds OUT of the box, then mix it ( and but multiple Ipads) and then get it back in.
Im looking for something that would allow me to route internally. There are a number of rooms need setting up this way for web broadcasts so thered be multiple cost bases, for no good reason (apart from I havent found a suitable virtual mixer yet?

HI
I really sympathise, as the same thing happened to me. A builder who said theyd followed my detailed instructions, and clearly hadnt.
What I did to rectify it was
1) I had 2×2 timbers attached to the walls that existed, in vertical lengths floor to ceiling about 2 ft apart
2) I bought polythene sheet (called viscreen here in the uk) and staped this to the vertiocal batons making a plastic sealed viod within the batons and the existing wall ( to within about 1 ft of the top(leaving enoigh to continue to the top but leaving a gap)
2) I attached horizontally small batons (about 30mm x 10mm thick ) about each 2 ft up the wall to the vertical joists (to give the plastic strength.
3) I filled the voids with kiln dried sand from a builders merchant.
4) as the sand got higher I attached drilled pegboard (holed sheeting) and worked to the ceiling filling and boarding
5) The i attached sponge or foam sheets (about 1 inch thick to the
making a soft absorbent outer skin to the peg board, covering the timbers , covering the viscreen, encasing the sand, infront of the wall.

I found this did 2 great jobs.
1) made the interior acoustic of the room soft (although I did lay a hard wood floor to give it some life.
2) Did a fab job of stopping external sounds getting in through the wall. Anyone who as tried to run on dry sand on a beach will testify that there is very little grip or purchase on sand, and sound finds it also incredibly difficult to transfer through as each molecule or grain absorbs the sound energy and doesnt transfer it on to the next grain well at all.

Then the doors become your weak link (and there the home made approach had to be replaced with proper studio doors lined with lead and with suction seals etc etc.

if you created 2 surround dvds that ran identical lengths,but each had a different arrangement of the necessary playback audio, that could then be routed to amps and speakers , would that not work. If the dvd players were the smae make and model and each were on loop, surely 2 could be started with good syncroniity that would then hold?

I dare say there are more elegant solutions out there but id guess theyll cost !

interessting one to ponder but plenty of people will have done this sort of project so good answers will be along shortly id guess.
