Managing Audio Takes
Several audio clips can be assembled (imported or
recorded) to form a
take
. A take is essentially a self-
contained EDL made up of a group of clips. The SX-
1 has a pool of takes associated with a project, and
the takes within this pool can be assigned to any
track of the HDR for playback (they are not fixed to
the track that they were originally assembled on).
Takes can also be imported and exported between
projects. They are managed from the
Take Browser
tab
of the VGA’s
Tracks
screen.
Audio takes are loaded to track slots by clicking on
the
icon to the right of the
key in the
Tracks
screen. Then, selecting the
Load Audio Take
command
from the pop up-menu reveals the takes that are
available for loading.
TIP
For step by step instructions on loading audio and MIDI
takes to tracks, see the
Quick Start Guide.
