Multichannel Audio Monitoring in Media Page and Media Pool
Posted: Thu Dec 13, 2018 2:57 pmThese are three separate but closely related Issues:
1: Is is not possible to set up audio monitoring for separate channels in the media page or the media pool? Background: I often get footage (documentary im my case) with multiple audio tracks. Two might be the MS-Stereo of the boom mic, two or three are Lavs and maybe one a camera mic. Most of the time I just want to listen to (and understand) one or two and then decide if anything worth cutting to the timeline has been said. Right now, you can't understand a thing.
2. If you want to do the same thing in the timeline you can do so with the Patch Input/Output by routing each track to one output of the Audio device (in this case a Soundcraft Signature 12 MTR) and then adjust the monitoring Volume of each channel with the faders. Not exactly an elegant solution, shouldn't that be possible with a multitrack bus? But so far I haven't succeeded in setting one up. If I route the channels from the timeline to the MT-Bus, and then route the bus to the outputs, nothing happens.
3. Is it true that you have to set up the busses/patching anew for each timeline within the same project? If you have multiple timelines (e.g. in a collaborative project) that's deeply annoying.
