Separating overlaying Audio tracks automatically?

[sajjadalam6]

Hello Forum -

I wanted to know if there is an automatic or easy way of overlaying separating audio tracks onto individual tracks.

You know when recording audio takes on the same track, each take basically sits on top of the previous take on the same track. Now that I want to sit down to sift through the material, I have to put each take onto its own track. Can that be automated in DP?

Your help would be appreciated.

Thanks so much.

If you're referring to multiple Takes, and not overlapping Soundbites in the same Take; I'll Duplicate the track as many times as there are takes, then switch to a different take on each of the dup tracks. Either that, or add similar tracks and drag each take/soundbites into them. With the Duplicate method, I usually Delete All Except that Take on each track.

There is no automated way that I know of that's built into DP.

Tim covered actual "takes," where you choose "new take" in the pop-up menu. But I am wondering if you're talking about overlapping soundbites. If so, there is a command in the COMMANDS Window to bring forward or push backward (and bring to front or send to back) for buried soundbites. That would probably be a starting point for whatever you want to do.

i'm not sure how to deal with it after you've already recorded them, other than the methods described above. but for next time, i've heard that POLAR can be used for multiple takes and managing them for comping.
do a search here, i'm pretty sure someone outlined how they use it for this purpose.
