real time mixdown, ughhh
Is there any way to mix down a few tracks to a single file on my hard drive without having to wait for it to happen in real time?

Re: real time mixdown, ughhh
If you can get it all on to one track, consolidate and export.
Multitrack = No

Re: real time mixdown, ughhh
It sucks, it really does. I understand why it is hard to implement, but there are some times when it would be a real "time saver"...which in my world equates to money.
For instance, I have a guy who wants several vinyl tracks to be recorded, cleaned up and then given a hi-res copy and mp3. Let's say just for the sake of argument that I only use Pro Tools 10 for this. I would have to wait for the record to track in, process and clean it or whatever..then wait again for each record by themselves to bounce down in real time again. If there are 30 records@5 mins a piece, then we are talking a minimum of 3X150mins It would be awesome to just be able to bounce it out in a minute and be done with it. Not to mention if I use pro tools to bounce it out as mp3's also, then I get to hear it 3 times in real time. So, I guess I will be using a program called Reaper instead to patch up the weak spots in Pro Tools So I Track into Pro Tools, then take the recorded audio and import it into Reaper which has non-realtime export, and we have a workaround I really feel for anyone who does editing for speeches or anything really really long that has to be edited using pro tools. Maybe someday after AAX is fully implemented and everything goes 64-bit and they have found a way to blend their RTAS engine and a Non-RTAS engine into a single flowing system for those non-realtime functions to exist. I believe in you AVID! P.S. Don't tell me it is a audio quality thing, and I should hear my mix one more time on the way out...because that should be "my choice" if I want to hear it AGAIN in real time. I will pull up Reaper and do a mix in Real Time and Not in Real Time and post it...and no one here will know the difference. Last edited by Numi; 12-08-2011 at 02:52 PM. Reason: P.S. |

hey digi, make your mix engine available at the command line prompt in PT11.
c:\ptmix mysong.pts mysong.wav :) |

If you're just cleaning up a stereo transfer from vinyl, why don't you just setup your plugins as required, save the settings as a preset and use the Audiosuite version of the plugin directly on the audio file. Then you can just export the file faster than realtime in whatever format you want - it takes seconds per file. Absolutely no point wasting time doing a bounce to disk operation. You also have the option of converting the wav / aff to an mp3 etc in itunes if you don't wish to export it in that format from P.T. |

Also... provided your computer could handle it... you could bring all the tracks into the same session and record them to track simultaneously and export. For example: Say you have 10 stereo tracks you have cleaned up. Instead of doing a real time bounce for each individual track, you could import them all into the same session, and bus each recording into it's own stereo audio track, arm it, and hit record. Now, you are essentially bouncing 10 tracks at the same time. Once you finished recording, you can just Export Regions/Clips as Files on all the tracks, and that'll take mere seconds.
