| Big Andy - what do you mean by "all subsequent audio files (regions) that are rooted from it in Pro Tools"?
Overall I suspect it's your workflow that needs adjustment.
I would suggest this: Divide your dialogue tracks up so each track represents a different noise reduction or corrective EQ. Put ALL of your production audio into these tracks. It should already be organized by source (camera or mic). I tend to hear common problems in a lot of the audio - the same hum, or the same broadband noise - usually I have just 6 or so tracks for a full length.
Once I am satisfied I've used the takes I prefer and the dialog is clear - I do whatever additional editing or plug-ins I need, then just print the tracks out.
This is the best workflow for you to use. You can't apply a plug-in setting to audio files in your regions list, they must be in your edit window. Therefore, the best way - short of audiosuiting each file individually - is to divide by track/NR and work from there.
I find this works very well. And it doesn't take THAT much time - if you've only got the proper takes to work with, it should be more than 8 hours! |
