Re: [Avid-L2] mono audio channel mapping on import ?

Jay --

I remember having the same issue, and yeah, getting 24 VO takes was really a pain as everything got mapped to 24 different tracks.

I'm not 100% sure if this was the answer, but on the Import options, in the IMAGE tab, there is a box that says "Auto-detect Sequentially Numbered Files."

Check that box and cross your fingers...   :-)

There's a setting to select if it does the files as mono groups, making multi-channel clips from mono files, but that's different than my issue.  

I have 5 different mono files of different takes.  They import as 5 clips.  But tk1 imports to a single clip mapped to A1.  Tk2 imports to a single clip mapped to A2.  Tk5 imports as a single clip mapped to A5.

I'm not in front of a editing system right now so I don't have the exact wording but there's a check box in your audio import settings. JB

Received some audio files from an ADR session.  In their naming from the sound department they end with -01, -02, -03, etc.  These are mono files of different takes.  When I import them the files map to audio tracks based on that end number.  How can I get all these mono files to each map to A1?

I won't consider renaming the files because when this goes to pre-dub and mix they will have the originals and the AAFs will need to relink in ProTools based on the file name.


Thank you,
