Archived from groups: rec>arts>movies>production>sound (more info?)

I just got a digi Mbox for recording audio with my powerbook on
location. The thing is that I found protools a little bit too much for
this purpose. I need an audio recording software capable to record 2
tracks and create single files in every take. With protools I have to
split the whole track and then make a bounce to disk for each region.
It's time consuming. any sugestions??? Maybe bias peak??

greetings

I use Adobe Audition but for two track only you might look at Sound Forge.

Sound Forge 8 is pretty straight ahead. But it won't be a good universal
tool for a location recordist. I have not found a way to pull-up the
sampling rate and if I need to playback two tracks of program (let's say
mono music and a click/thumper track) and a track of time-code, well, you
are a track short.

I use Cubase, and like Audition, which I used to use, it is way more tricky
to use on location when time is short, it can be very frustrating. There is
a fairly steep learning curve with both, and not using it more than a couple
of times a year makes it more difficult. But it does do playback RIGHT! As
for recording, I am one of those "old fashion" guys who don't quite trust a
laptop to do the work of a Nagra 4S, but I am comin' around. Not that I
still use (or own) a Nagra, but my trusty HHB is still doing the bulk of my
work. The cheap places my clients transfer wouldn't have it any other
way<g>. Are DV40 machines that frickin' expensive??

Speaking of which, is anyone using the Fostex DV824 as a location recorder?
Seems like a very good possibility coupled with a SD744T as a "run around"
machine.

Since the op specified a powerbook:

Bias Peak is stable and reliable, for a few hundered bucks.

Audacity seems stable (at least for me) and free.

Gallery Metacorder is pricey but designed to do exactly what you want,
with lots of film-friendly features.

The one problem with that suggestion.....he's on a Powerbook....(a Mac).
Audition is a PC only program.

Try recording in your two tracks on a single stereo track. Then after
your done you should be able to right click that file and "Export Audio
as Selected" That will give you a faster than real time file creation.
You can choose any of the available formats within your system. (Make
sure you purchased the MP3 Option if you want those). Alternately once
you have selected the region/selection you want you can perform the
same from the "Audio Region" portion of the Edit window on your right.
Dig a little deeper in that Digi manual and you'll find all the you
want and more.

Good Luck,
