Audio File Name Template
is similar to
Take Folder Name Template
, but as one might expect, it is for
audio file names rather than take folders. Here is the tooltip pop-up:
Figure 14.20:
Take Folder Name Template
tooltip pop-up:
The syntax for file naming is the same as for folder naming, although there are some extra “tokens”
specifically for use in audio file names. Here’s the step-by-step breakdown:
$project$
copies the text from the
“Project”
field and pastes it in the file name.
$engineer$
copies the text from the
“Engineer”
field and pastes it in the file name.
$takename$
copies the text from the
“Take Name”
field and pastes it into the file name.
$take$
copies the ‘Next Take’ number from the Session “Takes” counter and pastes in into the file
name. The [.n] sets the number of digits used to represent the take number. If you don’t specify a
number here, the take numbers will be 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. If you enter 2 (for 2 digits), you get a leading
‘0’, so the take numbers go 01, 02, 03, 04 etc.
$date$
pastes the current date to the file name. The ‘date’ format is year-month-day, so July 22,
2019 would be entered as “2019-7-22”
$tod$
pastes the Time Of Day at the start of the take into the file name. The ‘time’ format is hours-
minutes-seconds and uses a 24-hour time scale, so 1PM is represented as ’13-00-00’ hours.
$todsamplenum$
will insert the number of audio samples counted from midnight to the start of the
recording into the file name. Again, this feature is mostly used when providing files to automated
media ingestion systems.
$timecode$
will insert the SMPTE timestamp at the start of the recorded file into the file name.
$tcsamplenum$
will insert the number of audio samples calculated from a linear time code reference.
(Note: if the LTC is locked to ‘Time Of Day’, this will be the same as
$todsamplenum$
).
$track$
: Each Session track corresponds to a Mixer strip. The name of each strip being recorded is
always visible in the Session Track Overviews window.
$track$
pastes the name of the track into the
file name. In cases where the audio routed to the track is post-process (either ‘To Host: Post-Insert’
or using the post-process Direct Out) the term
[POST]
will be added to the track name.
$tracknum[.n]$
: The Session Track Overview window shows each Mixer strip which has return routes
to the Host computer assigned. The position of these tracks corresponds to their position in the
Mixer: so strips at the left of the Mixer are shown as tracks at the top of the Session Track Overviews.
