I'm trying to collapse a production cycle that goes like this:
1) someone reads text into a microphone,
2) if they cough or mis-read, they stop and read the sentence gain clearly.
3) file is transferred from digital recording device, to hard drive on the server.
4) task assignment is issued: open audio file in Peak, edit and clean up errors and save.
5) enter key words, title etc. associated with the file for dbase tracking
5) Person does the task (sometime, sooner or later) --> job done
typically the above can fall apart for a variety of reasons and if I could somehow turn over editing control to the reader at the input process and give the reader control over the recording he could fix his own mistakes and the final resulting audio file would be clean from the get go.
Imagine a rev app which is kind of like an an screen teleprompter... user clicks "record" and the text begins to appear, big type, scrolling slowly. If he mis-speaks or sneezes or gets a phone call.. he presses a button stops recording and then backs up listens to the end of the recording and stops it exactly where he wants to begin again and then clicks record and starts recording again, effectively overwriting the end of, appending-to, the audio segment with his new reading. When done, dialog boxes appear, calling for insertion of key data This is saved off as a mini XML.xml text file with the same name as the audio file.
This would collapse the above cycle to a one off:
Record --> job done:
But I don't see any option for something with a possible syntax of something like
record append ("file:/some.aiff") from 10:22:34I don't think this is doable within Rev with the existing controls, but before saying "can't" I just wanted to check if anyone had ever done something like this, or can visualize another work flow (Mac only would be fine) that accomplished the same thing. So far from this list I don't see much that can be done with a computer that Revolutionaries haven't found a solution for. ;-)
