mix recall for vox

Recommended Posts

one thing i've been doing lately - create a 2-track export of the main project - only what i need for the vocal performance, then create a project with that export on one track and then do all of the vocals and edits. then when i've got the vocals mostly comped etc i can then export those tracks and import into the main project. this keeps things fairly clean and then i can go back to editing the main project without overloading it with lots of additional vocal / take lanes tracks and edit-effects. reduces the overall size versus copying the entire main file (e.g. my main file might have 2.5GB of track audio, whereas the export might only be 50mb)

^^ good idea

This is what I did for ages on my old machine purely because it didn't have the resources to do everything in the one project. I'm a little more lazy now on simple projects since my current DAW has lots of power, but stuff with heaps of vocal layers, choirs, etc, I still use this method. Great to keep things clean, and a good backup strategy in case of a rare project corruption.

I do the same.

Before using Melodyne, I copy the original clip to another take lane (in the same track) and mute that original. After applying Melodyne to the duplicate, I can easily revert to the original clip at any time, and there is no extra track.

Okay I made a copy of the tracks and archived and I would like to hide them. I go to console view, strips, and uncheck archived but it keeps getting rechecked. It's not a workspace issue because I have none selected and only use screen sets. What am I missing?

update, solved: i just have to right-click the track... not sure why the documentation gave me the instructions above?

I have done this with percussion tracks too. It gives you that extra horsepower you need to do some quick editing. I always wanted a way to freeze buses to free resources too. It would help under powered computers to keep that snappy response by lowering cpu and disk access.

yeah, my laptop is not very powerful so when using effects or VI i like to limit them and just take "completed" audio over. makes the overall mix process lighter. so i'll setup my MIDI-only tracks in its own "record template", tweak, and then export the audio tracks. then import into my "mix template". essentially, following the same mix process is if a client sent me a bunch of tracks...
