Spotting audio - Work Flow

[andygray]

I am creating lots of stems in PT12, simple drag and drop from the Finder at the moment . when using timestamped files I simply drop one file at a time with spot selected and hit Org TC arrow in the dialog .. but it is very slow.

is there a quicker way ?

the other option is exporting my Stems for LPX 10.2.1 in a single bounce offline which is very quick, but the files are then not TimeStamped.

is there a way to drag a number of Files onto the timeline and snap them to the current play head ? as the main mix file I bounce in real time in LPX and that is TimeStamped..

any help with be welcome.

Timeline drop order from top to bottom (assuming for multiple stems to be placed at once on individual tracks)
timeline insertion at the desired point
clip list : select all stems, Ctrl-drag to the tracks (just drag over the tracks somewhere, release mouse, stems will be placed with their start to the timeline insertion automatically).

My offline bounces are timestamped. Can be spotted after manual import or are placed correctly when using "import after bounce".

This was a really help "Control" thats the key I was looking for , you can also do it from the finder but you have to press if after the files or on the PT GUI..

thanks!


so if you have time stamped files (which do not all start in the same place do you select Spot then drop each file have the the "Orig time stamp " up arrow for each file ? is seem to take for even and the dialog only appears on the main monitor which slow for me

I do not see any chance for a batch-spot for clips with different TC.
