I have heard enough (major label) recordings where I could hear a really bad edit within the first minute. I only meant, there are other ways to make a technically perfect edit. I said "she generally does not let things go until it has been auditioned at reduced speed".I did not say that. No edit passes my final OK during mastering, without hearing all of them in a musical context.ĭo honestly think she, or I, for that matter don't listen in context? In my book, every edit needs to be perfect the moment it is made, there are other ways than half speed listening to achieve this, like some very good visual cues (a pity that the waveform display in Pyramix is still not top notch). If you do that at half speed, I can only imagine what the context becomes. In passages with a lot of edits, that means just listening through (parts of) the movement, not to the individual edits. That is why I always listen with a prelisten of 2-5 seconds, depending of the music. Change in sound production of the players eg. IMO it saves time and results in very classy editsI have never tried that, but in my experience, most inaudible edits that are still audible are audible because of the context. She has it programmed on the MCPro, so its just the push of a button. I can tell you that my wife who is a producer for the radio orchestra pretty much never lets an edit go until it has been auditioned at half speed. I don't know how reliable a method this is, but it might be worth trying.This will not work if the edits were done by a good producer in a daw like Pyramix where one routinely slows time to check edit points. When the music was slowed down, he could hear the edits.
#AMAZING SLOW DOWNER CUE IN SOFTWARE#
Recently he listened to parts of the CD again, using one of the "slow-downer" software programs because he wanted to re-learn one of the pieces for himself (being blind, he can't read sheet music). The producer was very happy with the edits when we were done, and said he couldn't hear a single one. The violinist's teacher acted as producer, and he directed the edits (there were a ton of edits the violinist was reaching over her ability).
The edits may be more audible that way.Ī few years ago, I recorded an audition CD project for a local classical violinist, with piano accompaniment. This may not work 100% and it isn't an automated process, you have to use your ears, but try artificially slowing the tempo in the DAW.
