Timothy Brickley Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Hi Folks: Needing to export some complicated multi-track audio projects to go to another studio for final mix. Never really done this before. It's a giant patchwork of clips that have a multitude of start times. Need to line them up, have them all start at the same time. Let's say it's a short SFX clip of a 5 second "splash" that occurs once, late in a song. Even with clip time base set to absolute, and the clip locked (position and data) when I change the start time of the clip, it moves the whole clip to the beginning of the song. And if I try and grab the left edge of the clip - and pull the start time left - I can only get it in the ballpark, and when I enter in the actual time I need in the Inspector, it moves the audio.... Which leads to another issue. When I tracked this project, there were 5 bed takes, and we built on take 4 - so all of my clips are hanging out in the 39-minute mark No Man's Land (have erased the other takes.) Tried selecting "all" - and moving everything so the first audio clip would start at Zero - but the clips won't move - maybe that is due to frozen synth tracks? Muted clips? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Hope everyone is hanging in there - thanks TB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmcleod Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 You could always export using Broadcast waves - this embeds the actual start time in the waveform, so when they're imported into the other DAW they should retain their start time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy Brickley Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 Thank you Cakewalk Brethren from Scotland - but because I built on the 4th of 5 takes, all the actual start times are 30+ minutes after 0:00!?! But thank you - will look into Broadcast wav options..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjoens Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Not sure why dragging them all isn't working for you, as it should work. Otherwise you can set and use Snap To when dragging the left edge and it should snap to where you want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vere Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) So from what I understand you have a multi track recording and there are multiple songs along the time line- correct? The first thing you need to do is cut each song into individual projects. Then you wouldn't have your issue.
