Insert Markers While Recording
104
It is highly recommended that markers be inserted during the recording of a
live performance, as the markers will make the rest of the production process
much easier. Each of the examples that follow begins with the same scenario:
You are mixing and recording a live show using the StudioLive mixer and Capture.
You start recording before the start of the actual performance, and you will not
stop recording until the end of the performance. During the performance, you
insert a marker during the break between each song of the ten-song set. At the
end of the set, you stop recording and save the Session. You are then ready to shut
down your system. (Remember to shut down in the proper sequence: first turn
the master level down on the StudioLive mixer, then turn off power amps and
speakers, shut down the computer, and power down the StudioLive, in that order.)
Basic Example
The band you recorded the previous night comes over the next day to check
out the recordings. You launch Capture, open the Session, and begin playback
through the StudioLive mixer. After half a minute of tense silence while the band
wonders what went wrong, you realize that the band did not start the actual
performance until 20 minutes after you started recording because the lead singer
took so long to get on stage. (It is, of course, traditional to blame the lead singer!)
You click on the Next Marker button in the Capture Transport to quickly
advance to the next marker, which is the first song of the set, and the band
perks up. The band thinks they played terribly during the first song, and they
want to skip to the next song to see if they did any better. You click on the
Next Marker button again, and the next song starts immediately. The band
listens to a bit of each song, and you skip through the whole set within a
few minutes as if you were skipping through finished tracks on a CD.
The band is so impressed with the quality of the recording and your
production skills, they hire you on the spot to mix the show and turn it
into a live-performance album they can release to their adoring fans.
Advanced Example
The day after the gig, you prepare to mix the previous night's live recording
in your personal studio. You realize that each song will probably be mixed in
a different way. Wouldn't it be convenient if you could break up the original,
continuous recording of the entire set of ten songs so you could work on one
song at a time? With Capture, you can use the markers you inserted between each
song to automatically generate all the multitrack files for each individual song.
To do this, first open the original Session. If you have not already done
so, rename each marker to the desired name for each song. Then, select
Export to Audio File from the Session menu. In the Export to Audio
