Full circle moment going from "Guest" (contracted worker) to visiting as a client for an ADR session at Pinewood earlier this year... knew I still had this old pass lying around!

Soundflow: what useful commands are you running in the Avid Edition?

(Note NOT Pro! - I'm an employee and we won't be getting the paid version!)

I'm playing a gig on Saturday for my cousins 50th. I haven't done a gig in a couple years, only done a handful since I moved away from my bandmate...

Turns out I'm over it! I've really not enjoyed prepping.
I think Saturday will be the last Sophie Mapplebeck gig for a long time.

Back to crafting ๐Ÿ˜

Cheers, tricky cause I've not edited it at all but been the ADR supervisor role in crowd *and* a decent handful of principle ADR, enough for prod. to get to know me as a part of the team yknow!
Just feel like putting "additional adr supervisor" or similar diminishes the actual supervisors role

23.12.2024 23:42 ๐Ÿ‘ 2 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Yeah I sometimes use "additional dialogue editor" if I've edited an ep or two, but when there's another "main" dials editor across the project.
"Additional ADR Supervisor" would be sorta appropriate but feels like it diminishes "supervisor" from the other person's role then when it's me helping them

Should add that "dialogue editor" and "ADR supervisor" are often combined roles, so when you say the ADR supervisor is usually on the call, they may well be an editor if we're talking about this in the same context.

Some** not sole

Literally in every session I can be on my projects, same across most dialogue editors I know. On sole projects the show's directors don't even go. if I can't be there there'll be cover, unless it's voiceover so no sync or performance matching required.

The dialogue editor / adr supervisor in the session is usually leading as far as timing and explaining why technical cues are needed. Covering I'm doing that also, but reluctant to write "supervisor" with someone else already across the project as a whole

23.12.2024 14:04 ๐Ÿ‘ 2 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Supervised as a dialogue editor, I.e. walked the actors through the cues and directed their performance in terms of the dialogue edit.

"Covered" as in in place of the assigned ADR supervisor for the project because they were double booked / unavailable for an amount of sessions

Repost with clarification:
*I am a dialogue editor*

Credits q -
I like to keep my IMDb up to date inc. bits of cover work if theres a significant enough contribution.
What would you call a role if you'd covered a decent handful of ADR sessions, but there's otherwise an ADR supervisor on the show?

Ah but I'm not the recordist, I'm a dialogue editor!

Londoners - anyone having real issues getting an uber or bolt or any taxi app to accept a booking recently?
Doesn't seem to matter if im going 5 mins or 30. Was literally standing around for an hour after our xmas do tonight waiting for just anything to accept ๐Ÿค•

Off the top of my head maybe the kraken transcribed guide track thing - I.e. cut/copy and paste from there to a cue track?

24.11.2024 10:58 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Me neither.. if I were working for myself haha.

Oo nice, what things specifically relating to cueing?

24.11.2024 10:07 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Don't worry I totally feel you haha. But! There may be other options like keyboard maestro and steermouse that can do a lot of the shortcut type things if not all of what kraken and soundflow do!

I hate to be "that guy" but it sounds like there's an answer... ๐Ÿ˜…

Let me get back to you on that as I'll only have the Avid edition long term! Not sure how it all works yet

22.11.2024 16:28 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Delete fades for sure but I had Pro Tools configured to do that already.
I've just set one up to colour timeline clips when I have an ADR prompt selected, though it's not perfect.
Send back from rx and render, and sending to rx after pasting to a new track and creating handles is my current baby!

Bonus points for dialogue editing workflow based answers ๐Ÿคฃ

Getting to grips with Soundflow at the moment.

Pro Tools users, what things have you created shortcuts for that have really streamlined your process?

For me so far it's been opening certain audiosuite plugins, colouring clips automatically and sending to and from rx.

Hadn't thought about adding that part to my chain tbf! Thanks for brainstorming with me ahha x

Yeah just started to and have shortcutted it somewhat, just don't think I should have to ๐Ÿคฃ

I get that, but each file in this case is several mics in one wav

21.11.2024 16:12 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

And how does that work with polywavs? Does it do each stem or look at is as 1?

Consolidating removes metadata and handles, which is entirely the reason for using clip by clip

Not sure how you mean with option 2 but potentially adds unwanted time to other stages
