Revolution-Quicktime-Channels problem
I have a tough question. I don't know if it is a Quicktime question, a Revolution question, a Mac OSX question or even a Soundflower question. Plus I really don't know a whole lot about the subject at hand -- which is digital audio files. So I'm not even sure I can explain the question properly. Anyway, I am a pianist. I have just recorded with a cellist. We had 2 mikes on the cello and 2 mikes on the piano. I have written an application in Revolution to help me choose the edits for this and other recordings. I found that by creating 2 players, I can play all 4 channels in Revolution -- Player 1 plays the 2 cello mikes and Player 2 plays the 2 piano mikes. These 2 players are perfectly synchronized - - it's really fantastic. I can turn up or down one of the players so that I can focus on one instrument or the other. Once I have chosen my edits, I need Revolution to play each edit into Digital Performer, which is the digital audio editing program that I use. Soundflower is a little program I downloaded which allows for a direct audio connection between two applications. It can carry up to 16 separate channels at a time. Digital Perormer can of course record many channels. But it's not working. I start the 2 players going in Revolution, and press the record button in Digital Performer, but what is recorded is 2 channels (a single stereo pair.) Does anyone have an idea how these 4 channels are being squished into 2? It seems that the culprit is either Quicktime or Revolution. Any ideas how I might get around it? Each channel needs to remain separate for post-editing manipulation. For that matter, is there a better way altogether? I would prefer to dig into the innards of these sound files and grab portions of each as if I were copying and pasting material from several text documents. Does anyone know how to do this? Or am I asking for big trouble by messing around inside sound files? Thanks Fred Moyer ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Hi, I would use your multi-channel editor to record one player at a time and then edit the start points if needed in order to sink up the two individual double tracks. Aren't you glad it's not midi or tape. I once stretched 16 channels of midi virtual tracks to mach up with an analog session recorded in another location on an Ampex two inch machine. Imagine trying to stretch 1.5 seconds additionally into an already existing 3.5 minute performance without missing a beat. At the time I was using a Mac Plus with 2meg RAM and Passport. Paspport did a perfect job through trial and error. Mark ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

I assumed that having one you would have its basic functions down. You can do cut and paste edits you just need to resolve smooth transitions while doing it. You can work on this by zooming in on your transition points and using smoothening filters. Also remember to work on your edits with new versions in new tracks until the new tracks are better than the cuts that you started with. It's always a good idea to keep originals of your recordings as backups in case of any nonrecoverable mistakes.

I mean, it is a complete audio and midi recording/editing package, right? What is the need for any of these other software tools? -- Troy RPSystems, Ltd. http://www.rpsystems.net ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

I know how to run a world class recording studio and tell performers to do it again. I quit that world when the so called star artist asked me to provide the music. You see they were rap stars. They actually wanted me to come up with their sounds, music, and performance. I didn't want to get paid that bad. It was like asking a carpenter to grow the lumber. That actually happens, rap stars that is. A lot of what you might think is really cool is really fool. ... even Brittany Spears boobs are fake... blah... go hang yourself ... Why would you ever want to make music? Mark ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
