Figure 14.19: Take Folder Name Template tooltip pop-up:
…and here’s the step-by-step breakdown:
The ‘dollar sign’s are used to define “tokens”. These “tokens” command the folder-naming script
where to look for information to copy into the folder name.
The
$project$
token says: look in the
“Project”
field, copy that text and paste it in the folder name.
The
$engineer$
token says: look in the
“Engineer”
field, copy that text and paste it in the folder name.
$song$
says: look in the
“Song”
field, copy that text and paste it in the folder name.
$takename$
says: look in the
“Take Name”
field, copy that text and paste it in the folder name.
$take$
says: copy the ‘Next Take’ number from the Session “Takes” counter and paste in into the
folder 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. The leading ‘0’ makes listing files alphanumerically
much cleaner. If you expect more than 100 takes, set it to 3 (for two leading zeros), set to 4 for a
thousand takes, etc. The brackets don’t get typed in, just the dot and the number. For example, if
you are at take #4 and you had entered
Take $take.2$
in your template, the template script would
insert
Take 04
in the folder name.
$date$
says: look up the current date and paste it in the folder name. The ‘date’ format is year-
month-day, so July 22, 2019 would appear in the folder name as “2019-7-22”.
$tod$
says: paste the current Time Of Day into the folder name. The ‘time’ format is hours-min-
utes-seconds using a 24-hour clock, so 4:28 and 17 seconds in the afternoon would appear in the
folder name as “16-28-17”.
$todsamplenum$
will insert the number of audio samples counted from midnight to the start of
the recording. This is essentially just a hyper-accurate measure of the ‘Time Of Day’ the take was
initiated. 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.
$tcsamplenum$
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
$todsamplenum$
). This is
essentially just a hyper-accurate measure of the time of day the take was initiated. This feature is
mostly used when providing files to automated media ingestion systems.
