Hello Cal and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.

If we can help, we’d need to know a lot more about what the problem is. Your terminology seems very specific to the hvx200. I don’t know a lot about that camera.

Is this a post production issue or a preduction issue?

Regards,

Sounds very possible. I’m sorry for your pain.

The following is not in the manual?

Choosing a recording mode

You can choose any of five recording modes in the Record dialog’s Mode drop-down list. Sound Forge recording modes include the following:

Automatic retake (automatically rewind)
Multiple takes
Punch-In (record a specific length)

Automatic retake (automatically rewind)

Automatic retake mode is the easiest method of recording. Recording begins at the position displayed in the Start box when you click the Record button () and continues until you click the Stop button

(). When you stop recording, the start position resets to the beginning of the take, allowing for immediate rewind and retake.

Multiple takes

Multiple takes mode also allows several takes to be recorded. Like the previous mode, recording starts at the position displayed in the Start box when you click the Record button () and continues until you click the Stop button (). When you stop recording, the stop position becomes the start position for the next take, which can be recorded immediately.

Punch-In (record a specific length)

Punch-In mode is used to record over a specific selection in an existing data window. Specifying Punch-In activates the Start, End, and Length boxes. Recording begins at the position displayed in eh Start box when you click the Record button () and continues until one of the following occurs:

You click the Stop button ().
The cursor in the data window reaches the position displayed in the End box.
The length of the recorded data equals the value in the Length box.

Ronn,

Must be miscommunication. I don’t know what your disagreeing with.

David,

MANGLER is correct.

I have so many didn’t copy and can’t find issues it’s ABSURD.

Is there a good way to make an archive copy to another drive without all the B?

Hello David,

Thanks for this tip. BTW, should you “select all” on the timeline or in the browser bins?

I’m guessing if you want all the elements, even the ones you may not have used on the timeline, you need to select all in the browser. Is that how it works?

Thanks,

Ty Ford

Hello Will,

I don’t use Sound Forge, but it sounds like you’re in a cue stacking or loop record mode. This mode lets you stack tracks on the timeline or record over and over (so you can get the part right).

I’m guessing there’s a preference of other menu or button to change the operation mode.

John,

Suffice it to say that Thax has been very lucky/successful with this and some (myself included) have seen it go either way. I’ve seen enough posts on forums where people are asking why the very thing she’s asking about didn’t work to give her a green light.

I think the important thing here is not to get into a can/can’t argument, but to let Sally know that she isn’t guaranteed success and that she should test first.

Patrick,

While all situations are different. I have an 002 and an 003 and frequently leave one of them on with no problems. I don’t use external drives. My Macs each have two internals, one for system/apps and one for media.

My experience is that allowing family members (kids) to use the same computer your sessions are on is not a good idea. I have had friends call, in a panic, that they can’t find their files. We found them, but one of the kids had moved some things.

I don’t know of any switch that will do what you want, sorry.

Regards,

Ty
