I totally agree that pro tools is the better option for audio. I don't necessarily want an all-in-one doctor if I have a specific issue, and I think editing, color, sound, and VFX are all separate functions with some mild overlap. Each has unique skills that the other can't do. It's a different skill set, like going to a dentist vs. I have met very, very few picture editors who could function as well as a skilled sound editor or mixer. Having the skill, experience, and good taste to know when and how to use the plug-ins is a whole 'nother problem. You still need that kind of environment, even if it's a converted bedroom with a couple of JBLs. One of the A#1 problems is that most editing bays and even color rooms are not optimized in terms of providing a quiet acoustical space with optimized speakers, and without noisy computer fans and hard drives. I would no more want to take his job away than I would trying to edit within Resolve.įinal Cut and Avid MC can take some audio plug-ins as well, but they're still not good for sound editing, in my opinion. Pro Tools rooms are not expensive nowadays, not if it's a small room with a decent guy in it. There are always inexpensive solutions out there if you know how to seek them out. It is pretty hard to tell your producer I cant make it better in the edit, but trust me it will sound fine in post- a small non destructive cleanup makes everyone happy and one that does not render files in audacity or any other program is needed.įred Rodrigues wrote:It is pretty hard to tell your producer I cant make it better in the edit, but trust me it will sound fine in post- a small non destructive cleanup makes everyone happy and one that does not render files in audacity or any other program is needed. But it needs something and encouraging editors to start messing around with external audio software is dangerous, it needs to be done inside resolve so that when it is exported you can ditch the effects in an omf or aaf and get the source with handles in protools (or other DAW) for a real mix. Yes, resolve should never get close to mixing properly (and never could- no NLE can). Having the tools to make your edit work- to know if you can sell it to producers is important- having a decent set of audio tools is vital for this.
Especially if you deal will badly recorded stuff (maybe not an accident, people whispering in docos or reality tv leads to this all the time). I do not want editors wasting time going to audacity and then having rendered clips with no source reference on the timeline. I worked in big post as an engineer, yes we do the mix, but editors need to make their clients happy.
