please HELP | Efficient way to do SPOKEN AUDIO CD

[soul]

Hey all,

I'm hoping someone out there has some suggestions for an efficient way for me to record voiceover work in PT TDM 6.4.1.

I am producing a Spoken Word Audio CD with 60 track marks (approx 60 min)

I need to record approx 60 min of script reading, and drop CD track marks every minute or so on the fly , then export as 60 seperate CD audio tracks (for a 60 track Audio CD).

#1. Is there a way to batch export (or bounce to disk) all of the seperate tracks with one command ??? i.e. and not bouncing each selection to disk one at a time (60 times)

#2. Is there a way to assign "create memory location" command or drop a track marker to a MIDI key???

#3. Any other insight you can offer is certainly welcome.

I've been a frequent reader and I occasionally post to this forum since 2001. This has always been a great community of engineers/producers and audio enthusiasts.

Im really counting on you guys for some help.

Thanks!

#1: To export a regions without having to bounce:

Make separate regions for each track that will show up on CD. You can do this by selecting the first minute, then press cmnd+E. Then select the second minute, cmnd+E. There are also other ways to do this.

Once you have regions where you want your CD ID markers to be, select all of the regions and press cmnd+shift+K. This will bring up the "Export Regions" dialog box. Check your settings and then press OK.

Poof! Faster-than-real-time export.

Note: this only exports the raw audio. If you need plug-ins applied, you'll need to bounce to disk or use AudioSuite prior to the "export regions".

In my setup I would bounce the whole session of 60 segments to disk as one Stereo 16 bit file. I would then move it over to my PC, and manually insert CD markers and create the CD, with Wavelab.

If you replace the cmnd+shift+K suggestion with cmnd+shift+Y, the result will be even faster and will take up less disk space. cmnd+shift+Y assigns the regions to the parent audio file. After doing this, programs like Jam can import the regions from the parent audio file as separate tracks.
