[QuadList] Mechanical Splices

[george keller]

David,

I don't think you will ever get a perfect audio edit especially in the middle of a sustained musical note like an oboe or similar sound.  You may get one between words, though.  I havent' tried it with D2 or any other digital machine, but I still don't hold any hope.  Perhaps someone on this list might try it.  Most of the editing at CBS has not been done on music, mostly cuts, like 60 Min, 48 Hours, etc.

George,


I recall reading a number of Ampex mod bulletins pertaining to audio insert editing issues, with and without editec. I still have some of those NBC/CBS traded memos for the early production VR 2000's.

I have found that making audio edits especially with continuous music is almost impossible to do without any sort of "Tweet" or "Chirp" even with the AF audio edit mod installed.  After an evening of screwing around with one session, I convinced the director to lay down the complete audio track and then insert video as needed.  That worked fine.  I think it was an older CMX 340?? You can fool your eyes, but not your ears.
