A lot of work goes into preparing shows: we don’t like to just “show up and talk on Skype” on all the podcasts I do, my co-hosts and I like to make sure we’re following a well-researched outline of topics that can drive a spontaneous conversation without rambling and wasting listeners’ time. By the end of the month, I will be the co-host of six different podcasts 19. I primarily consider myself a writer, but podcasting has become a substantial part of my income and another job unto itself that takes up a sizable amount of my time every day.
#AUDIO HIJACK SPEED UP MY AUDIO PRO#
Even though it all works – I’ve been able to record various Relay FM shows from my iPad Pro – the different pieces of equipment I have to use to get it done on an iPad encapsulate how far behind in terms of audio recording and file management iOS still is compared to macOS. Earlier this year, I finally found a solution to this problem by following Jason Snell’s approach and tweaking it to my needs. Over the years, I managed to slowly move previous Mac-only tasks to the iPad, but podcasting always remained the last bastion of macOS functionality that I couldn’t adapt to the iPad Pro. Yes I agree, it's not a thing I'd be doing much either, but good to know it can be done if need be and these precautions are taken.Since I started using the iPad as my main computer seven years ago, recording podcasts with the setup I like was always one of the areas where iOS fell short, which forced me to keep using a Mac. This all makes sense along with the Timebase and stretching settings. I think I did it the other way 'round because their order in the Inspector is that way. You do say to check Follow Option before Follow Project. (sorry - yes I did hijack the OP's question, I guess ?) Crashing is not something I've encountered before, but I don't use it a lot. Otherwise, so long as you haven't messed with clip Timebases or are other timing/stretching related settings, it should work pretty consistently. The other modes will immediately try to fit the the clip tempos to the project, and usually not do a good job because the clip tempo maps are wrong. I didn't think this was probably relevant of the OP, so didn't mention it.Īnd you need to be sure to set the Follow Option to Autostretch before enabling Follow Project. But you can have a mixture of Audiosnapped and Groove-Clipped audio in the project. Yes, Audiosnap and Groove/REX clips are incompatible. it would seem some other criteria are necessary for the smooth operation of the ability to squeeze/stretch all project's audio in one go.
Sometimes simply clicking the Enable caused CW to crash, and sometimes it simply worked as expected, and each of these results on the same projects. And several times when "Follow proj tempo" was available and clicked it caused all the audio clips to be stretched and/or compressed (after much deliberation on CW's part), out of sync with each other, and this happened right away, without me having made any changes to the original proj tempo yet. I had several cases where after clicking Enable, the "Follow options" and "Follow proj tempo" were not available to me to choose (with all tracks chosen).
I have just tried this, following exactly your steps above, on several projects with varying results, ranging in quality from "as expected" to catastrophic!įirst point to make (perhaps obvious to some - wasn't to me) it doesn't work if groove clips are involved - AudioSnap Enable is simply not available in this case.
This was an eyeopener to me! I would say there seem to be criteria for this to work well.
I'm a huge fan of each platform and they each excel in their own separate ways) BUT. This is something not highly needed in my own workflow in CW, it's something I've always thought to be outside the realm of CW's strong points and would opt for using Ableton in a project where tempo stretching audio a lot and collectively was going to be needed (sorry to mention "the other guy". Click to check the Follow Proj Tempo box. Go to Clip Properties in the Track Inspector, and expand the Audiosnap section. Ctrl+A to Select All (doesn't matter if MIDI clips are included) To have the audio follow the change both visually and musically: You can manually change the project tempo and MIDI will follow, but audio will not by default. The Tempo Ratio function you might have read about went away a long time ago with the introduction of support for audio since stretching was not supported at that time, and it never came back.
