Best Way To MultiTrack record?
Here's the setup:
We are recording midi and audio tracks into a 56 I/O PT's rig. I have always found PT's cumbersome when prepping (under the gun) to take multi channel passes. For Instance - why can't we group the "New Playlist" by x amount so we could then be ready to record another pass? (BTW why call it 'playlist' anyway - they are TRACKS) Anyway, What's the best route for multi tracking into PT's? Is there an easier route than (a) creating x amount of new audio channels that then need assignment (b) removing the last pass from the tracks you want to record onto and later juggling these around? thanks s

S,
Perhaps try creating a template, then after each take the band does, start a whole new session using the template. Then when you think you might have a good one, incorporate some of the tracks from previous passes using Track Transfer. Just a thought, Erik |

We get Playlist Grouping in 5.1 (at last).... In the meanwhile, I record at specific offsets (0 min., 10 min., 20 min, etc.) and then cut and paste between takes for a final master take later. Rail ------------------ Recording Engineer

Re: Best Way To MultiTrack record?
I work same as Rail. Make a template for the project you're working on with all the track names and assignments...K, sn, hat, toms...then record the takes into the same session one after another. I use markers for the start of each take so that I can quickly locate them.
If you're working with MIDI, make a template of what is connected to each of your 56 inputs and use that. Then just delete (or hide) the ones you don't use. Steve

Re: Best Way To MultiTrack record?
Thanks,
BUT (i ommited a BIG variable) We are tracking for FILM mixing/sweetening so I don't want to lose/change the time stamping as everyything syncs to the film. thus the offset idea is cool I should have mentioned the F (film) word in the initial query. My apologies. SO - the idea of track transfers might be a work around I still have initial jitters with that utility since the early days. (It still appears as a problem solver rather than an everyday utility, maybe i ought to consider it part of the arsenal) Thus - PT 5.1 may be our only solution. Next time. Thank you for your suggestions. scott
