Re: Multi track editing question



You can do this in Vegas. I just happen to have the same software/card.
 
The key is to do global edits and global slides.
 
If you want to save drive space, you'll need to render the tracks back out as a wav on at a time. Make sure the all stay in sync and have the exact same start point.
 
1. in the time line find the start point
2. make a mark at that point
3. splice all tracts at that starting point.
4. remove the audio between the start of the time line and the start of the song
5. select all tracks
6. with all tracks selected, move the audio to the 00:00:00:00 start point in the time line.
7. Trim the tail at the end of the song.
8. Save the sequence.
 
 
IF
9. If your goal is to save drive space and dump the original 4track dump, then render all track individually to a new wav file.
10. Then open a new project and drag all files back into the time line starting at 00:00:00:00
 
 
Repeat the for other song 2, 3, ect....

I wont be on this account much in the next few days.

Subject: Multi track editing question
 

I have a ton of old stuff recorded to 4 track cassette.  I’ve been copying it to my PC using my delta 1010 and Vegas so I end up with a project with the 4 tracks.  I usually just set it up to record and leave the room.  So the entire tape gets recorded. 

 

What I want to do next, and haven’t found a good way to do yet, is to then chop up the pieces I’m interested in and delete the rest. Only a small part of the tapes are interesting to me.  So I need something that will let me copy and paste 4 tracks at the same time and create new projects. 

 

What programs are good at this? 

 

thanks
