[QuadList] Mechanical Splices

[David Crosthwait]

Yes, 2" audio edits were precarious. Even D2 and Digital Beta do not have perfectly seamless audio edit capabilities. You can adjust the audio edit characteristics (via menu setting) to sonically improved the edit though. 

Continuos bass notes were the worst (piano, for example).

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.

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.
