Recording ADR to the Timeline
Once you’ve configured your workstation for recording, and you’ve set up a Cue list to work
with, it’s time to start recording each cue.
To record a cue from the Cue list:
1 Open the Record panel of the ADR interface.
2 If you want to record a particular character’s cues, you can select each unnecessary
character in the ADR Option menu to uncheck that character, hiding their dialog in
the Cue list.
3 With the list showing the character cues you need, select the cue you want to start
recording. That cue contains the timecode necessary to determine which part of the
Timeline to record to, and the playhead automatically moves to that part of the Timeline.
4 Click the Rehearse button a few times to run through the cue with the talent. When you
click Rehearse, both audio and video corresponding to that cue will play, including pre
roll and post roll, along with all beep and onscreen cues.
5 When the talent is ready to try a take, click the Record button, and let the Fairlight page
do the work of playing through pre roll with beep notifications and visual streamer
cues, initiating recording, and then stopping recording automatically once the cue is
done. To record another take, simply click the Record button again.
Every time you complete a recording, a take appears in the Take list. Making multiple
recordings results in multiple takes in the list. In the Timeline, all new takes appear as
layered audio, so you can record as many takes as you like into the same area of the
Timeline. Once you’ve finished recording takes, you’ll have a neatly organized stack of
alternate takes to draw upon as you edit together the best parts of each recording.
6 If you or the talent want to hear a particular take again, select it in the Take list and click
Play. You can use the 5-star ratings control to keep track of how you liked each take.
7 When you’re finished recording a cue, click the Done checkbox for that cue, and select
the next cue you want to record. When you’re finished re-recording dialog, simply close
the ADR interface.
