User Manual

This panel presents the following controls:
 Pre Roll and Post Roll: Specifies how many seconds to play before and after each
cue’s specified In and Out points, giving actors a chance to listen to what comes before
and after each cue in order to prepare. If you enable the Beep options below, beeps
provide a countdown during the specified pre-roll.
 Record Source: (Disabled until you select a Record Track) A drop-down menu lets you
choose the input you want to record from, creating a patch to the Record Track.
 Record Track: A drop-down menu lets you choose the track you want to record to.
Selecting a track with this menu creates a patch from the Record Source to the Record
Track, and automatically toggles Record Enable on.
 Guide Track: A drop-down menu lets you choose which track the original production
audio you need to re-record is on. This is used for sending audio playback to the talent
to use as a guide for recording their own replacement performance.
 Record File Name: A text entry field that lets you provide a name for the audio files
being recorded to be saved with.
 Character Setup: A list for adding the names of all the characters that have dialog
cues you’ll be re-recording, to help with cue creation and management. An Add New
button lets you add additional names to this list, while a Remove button lets you delete
characters you no longer need.
 Beep to In Point: Enables a three-beep sequence to be heard leading up to the
recording. For beeps to be audible, the Beeps channel of the System Generator is
a source that must be patched to your audio outputs using the Patch Input/Output
window.
 Beep at In Point: Enables one last beep at the In point. For beeps to be audible, the
Beeps channel of the System Generator is a source that must be patched to your audio
outputs using the Patch Input/Output window.
 Count In: An onscreen counter that counts down to the start of the cue.
 Video Streamer: A visual cue for the talent to watch during pre-roll to ready them for
recording. A pair of vertical lines superimposed over the program being output to video
move towards one another across your video output screen during the pre-roll to the
cue. This gives the talent a visual indication of the time remaining until they should
begin talking. When the beeps play, these lines get taller. Both lines come together at
the Time In frame, at which point a cross shows that recording is beginning.
 Smart Timeline: When turned on, this option automatically moves the playhead to each
cue as it’s selected in the Cue list, and zooms in to frame the duration of that cue in the
Timeline.
 Mixing Control: Enables automated switching of audio playback, to independently
control what the talent and the audio engineer hear at various stages of the ADR
recording process. For example, with this enabled, the Guide track is not routed to the
Control room while the engineer is reviewing a take.
