Oh, does that work for mixing down to hard disk, I thought that was for
burning to CD.
Thanks

Hello,
In the Bounce to disc dialog, choose format "Interleave". The result is a
sterio wave file.

Hi:
I have been mainly using pt to do tracks and then sending the sessions up
to my partner in Jersey who has the clients we do work for do their vocals
and he mixes them on hi hd system. I finally got around to doing my first
mix in pt for one of my own t racks. I created a blank audio track,
assigned the outputs of the busses I was using for submixes to a bus and
set the input of the audio track to that bus, then did the realtime
bounce. The problem though is that you end up with two mono files. How
do I create a stereo wav file instead? I ended up having to copy the
files to a windows system, inport them into sonar on separate tracks and
export the stereo audio from sonar to mp3, which is what I wanted anyway.
I can't imagine that their isn't a way to create a single stereo wav file
in pt when mixing down. Also, doesn't pt come with an mp3 encoder?
Thanks as always
Gord

Subject: Re: manipulating crossfades
Stefan,
You can select other curve presets by using either the Control or Option
modifiers with the left and right arrow keys. Select the range you wish to
fade and bring up the fade dialog (Command-f, I believe). If you're
dealing with a fade out, use the Control key. If you're dealing with a
fade in, use the Option key. In this case, I'll refer to the Control key
since you mentioned a fade out.
While holding down the Control key, use the left and right arrows to
select different curves. There are 7 presets and they don't wrap around so
you can press either key several times to make sure you're starting from
the first (or last) curve. The curves are as follows (and I'll be
referring to them in the context of a fade out):
1. instant out from the beginning of the selection. This essentially mutes
the audio right from the beginning of the selection.
2. Very fast initial fade with a long tail.
3. Moderately fast fade with a moderate tail.
4. Linear fade. This is just a standard constant fade.
5. Slower initial fade with moderately fast fade toward the end.
6. Very slow initial fade with very fast fade out at the end.
7. Full volume all the way to the end with instant mute at the end.
These descriptions seem perhaps a little clumsy in part because the fades
are not labelled as such but are purely graphic in representation. By the
way, one could think of these curves in terms of attack and release.
Curves 2 and 3 have faster initial attacks and slower releases while 5 and
6 have slower attacks and faster releases. The fade characteristics are
reversed for fade ins. In other words, for fade ins, 2 and 3 have slow
attacks and fast releases and would have the effect of slowly fading in
with a faster rise toward the end of the fade in. Hopefully, that all
makes sense.
Unfortunately, it's not possible to drag the curves with voiceOver however
I've never had the need to do that in the last 10 years. Lastly, while
you're in the fades dialog, pressing the space bar will audition the fade.
Hope that helps,
Slau

Hello, What do you do, if the fade presets, which are provieded in the
fade dialog don't match for the task, you want to perform? In my case,
there is a haprsichord recording, which I want to edit. If I make a
crossfade, the fadeout is stronger than the natural sounding of the
strings of the harpsichord and dragging the curve with VO seams to be not
possible.
Thanks for your help.
