Figure 12.52: Name Templates script example
Above is an example of the
Take Folder Name Template
and
‘Audio File Name Template’
scripts in
action. You can see the text from the ‘Project’, ‘Engineer’ and ‘Song’ fields were referenced by the
$project$, $engineer$ and $song$ tokens in the
Take Folder Name Template
and have been copied
to the folder name. The underscores between the tokens and the word "Take-" (with the hyphen)
were manually typed in.
In this example, the number of digits to represent take numbers was set to 3:
$take.3$
so there is
a leading 0 before the take number 17. The use of track names, date and time of day are shown
in the file names.
Recording “Takes”: Manual and Automatic features
Taking a cue from film and video production, each new recording in the 3d Session is called a ‘Take’.
A Session ‘Take’ can be defined as a set of files recorded simultaneously to the same location(s) with a
common naming convention and identical start and end timestamps.
In Count In “Takes” mode each ‘Take’ gets a Marker dropped at its start point fade-in. If Preroll is enabled,
the preroll audio will be present but hidden to the left of the start point fade-in. Postroll audio is included
as part of the Take. Take markers will show the full duration of the Take (not including the preroll), and are
automatically added to the Marker List the the left of the Session Track Overview.
Note that Session automatically selects all segments of a Take the moment the Take is finished
recording. This makes it easy to quickly delete the Take in case of false starts. This does not
delete the soundfiles, just the Take segments within the Session Overview.
Takes can be triggered manually by hitting Record Start, or automatically via the
mentioned above.
