Clone recording
Select 'Clone' in
BLUE-BRWS.21
Copy, Remix & Translate
To copy an audio file with an updated iXML chunk for the
archives, select In-Grid
RPA
(p.28). To redo a mixdown with
the onboard mixer, select In-Grid
RPM
(p.28) in which the
Xa Xb mixdown goes to T7T8.
You can add a simultaneous translation of a scene by ei-
ther routing two digi-ins to the same track and sending the
translation mic to the 'freed' track, or selecting
RR7
in which
'mic5 Xb' records the translator's mic on T7 and the mono-
mix on T8.
The selected play-card plays at BLUE-REC start,
Ptc
(Play-
back TC) replaces
Stc
on the control screen. There can be
only one TC stamp per filetag, if you want to Remix a portion
of the original file, go to BLUE-PLAY, create a play-card then
return to BLUE-REC which creates a new filetag. To abort the
cloning, go to PPR and erase the file (see
Last take erasure,
p.20).
You can continue to record after the end point of the cloned
file but there is a risk that this 'tail' generates a timecode over-
lap with the next original take. To get a clone of the same
exact length as the original (same srart and stop TC)*, go to
BLUE-PPR and trigger the recording with the keyboard [crtl]
[alt] [r]; it will stop on the original file's end point.
* To avoid later auto-sync confusion between an original
recording and its remixed clones (they all share the same
TC&Date), go to BROWSE and trash them all but the best
remix to be sent to the editing room. Since they are kept hid-
den in the day's folder, you can revive them later.
ADR-2
While listening to the cloned guide track(s), and watching
the images of the original shoot (Ptc 'Play TC' is used to sync
a chasing VTR by LTC), the performers re-record their dialog
on a new set of tracks.
Re-Recording
Under In-Grid
RR1
(see
In-Grids,
p.28), record your first
track in normal REC. Go to BLUE-BRWS.04 and put the
filetag of your best 'track1' recording (not always the latest
one) under '
Index A
'. Select '
Clone A
' in BLUE-BRWS.21,
then under In-Grid
RR2
go to BLUE-REC and record 'track2'
(as many times as needed); then go to BLUE-BRWS.04, and
put the filetag of the best recording under '
Index A
'... and so
on, up to
RR8.
You get an eight-track incremental recording
in the last recorded filetag.
