Table Of Contents
Cue list: The list of all cues that have been entered or imported. The Cue list can be
filtered using the Filter drop-down menu at the top-right of the ADR panel (next to the
Option menu). You can choose to show the cues for all characters, or for any selected
combination of characters. You can also choose to hide all cues that are marked as
done to experience the joy of this list shrinking more and more the closer you are to
being finished.
Cue list Done column: A sixth column appears in the Record panel only, labeled Done.
It contains check boxes for each cue that you can turn on to keep track of which cues
you’ve successfully finished.
Additionally, the ADR interface Option menu has one command pertaining to the Record panel:
Record Early In: Enables recording during pre-roll, in the event you’re working with
talent that likes to start early.
Setting up to Do an ADR Session
Setting up to record ADR is straightforward but requires a few steps.
Creating tracks in preparation to record ADR:
1 In the Timeline, create a new audio track to which you’ll be doing ADR recording.
Make sure it has the correct channel configuration for your recording (mono is typical
for dialog).
2 If you’re recording ADR to your main timeline, you may want to Solo both the Guide
track and the Record track, so you and the talent can focus on the audio being re-
recorded without hearing all the other tracks of the current mix.
Now you’re ready to configure the Setup panel.
Configuring the Setup panel:
1 Open the ADR interface, and then open the Setup panel.
2 Choose the Pre Roll and Post Roll you want to use, in seconds. A pre roll of at least 3
seconds is recommended to give the talent time to get ready.
3 From the Record Source drop-down menu, choose the microphone you patched earlier.
4 From the Record Track drop-down menu, choose the Record track you created.
5 From the Guide Track drop-down menu, choose the track with the original production
audio that you’re replacing.
6 At the bottom of this panel, turn on which Preroll Cue options you and the talent want to
use as you record each cue. Options include:
a. Beep to In Point and Beep at In Point provide an audible count down to when to
start performing.
b. An animated Video Streamer gives a countdown to the start time, shows the
duration of the cue being recorded, and also displays the text of the dialog for that
cue on screen for the actor to refer to, so they can keep their eyes on the screen
and not a script.
7 Next, if you’ve enabled Beep to In Point and Beep at In Point, you need to patch the
Fairlight oscillator to your output channels so the talent can hear the preview beeps.
