Re: [Avid-L2] Walter Murch and NLEs

 

I haven't had occasion to deal with 5.1 Avid audio tracks.  Do they count as one track or 6 as far as active channels.  In ProTools they have a max limit of "voices" which are active tracks be it the main track or a submaster track etc... 

Can I have 24 Avid 5.1 tracks or it only 24 active tracks with a 5.1 track counting as 6 and a stereo track counting as 2 active tracks?

That's true, but on the other hand, when you start offering 7.1 monitoring to the editor, surely you end up with a lot of tracks very quickly.

I cut with a minimal amount of tracks, but as the edit draws to the end, I add more and more. I've never been limited by the 24 tracks though because I like to be able to see all the tracks at once, without having to scroll and/or make them so narrow that you can't even read their name.

But to be the devil's advocate, in this day and age, it's probably not too complex to allow MC to deal with 99trks and offer Murch and the likes what they want/need?

Also Murch wanting more tracks of audio may have a lot to do with his sound editing background and not be representative of most editor's needs.  Of course it would be great to have more tracks available but is that really a huge issue for film editors in general.  I would think if it takes more than 24 tracks then it's time to send it to the sound department anyways.
