Re: [Avid-L2] Scratch tracks

 




Hi Lou,

I just use either the computer's onboard mic or my USB mic as the source. Then in the Capture Tool, you can select the source (Built-In Mic or Input, USB, etc., depending on your set-up), and go direct into Avid.

I've also used the free app "Audacity" to record and create AIFF, then import those files into Avid. I like that because I can delete my bad takes and false starts before making the file. Plus, I like having a file that I could batch re-import if something went sour with my media drive. https://www.audacityteam.org/

HTH,

Hi

Any of you guys have a quick and easy way to do scratch tracks?  I used to use the capture tool and my mic through my mixer, but after the rebuild with new Mac, this no longer works for some reason.  I now record with iPhone, send to dropbox and load that way.  Its not bad but a bit clunky.  Is there a way to connect a USB mic to my Mac and just record directly in?  Probably not with Avid but some cheap software?   I could use better quality than iPhone mic.

Thanks
