Two copies made from separate mics. -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:Two copies made from separate mics. Posted by: mn_voyageur Date:3/24/2001 12:46:28 PM Two recordings were made using two separate systems simultaneously. Now, I am trying to merge the two. Recording #1 on the right channel and Recording #2 on the left channel. I have no problems with drag and drop. Works like a champ. The problem is getting the timing down. I would like to "Cut" a section from the beginning of the left channel. (.200 secs) Right now, it sounds like a really bad echo. Either SF won't trim from one channel of a stereo recording, or I am doing it wrong. Option #2 is someone having a trick to getting the two lined up.

You would have to copy the channel to a new window, do the edit, then reassemble back to stereo, which could make getting the timing exactly right a process of trial and error. This would be much easier in a multi-track editor such as Vegas where you can line the two recordings up perfectly and then render the result to a new stereo file-- quick and easy. If you're using SF 5.0 the Vegas Audio LE component included with it should give you that functionality.

To make them line up perfectly you could use the "simple delay" in the effects menu and use the preview and adjust until the two channels perfectly line up. Brian Franz

Two recordings were made using two separate systems
simultaneously. Now, I am trying to merge the two.

Recording #1 on the right channel and Recording #2 on the
left channel.

I have no problems with drag and drop. Works like a
champ. The problem is getting the timing down.

I would like to "Cut" a section from the beginning of the
left channel. (.200 secs) Right now, it sounds like a
really bad echo.

Either SF won't trim from one channel of a stereo
recording, or I am doing it wrong.

Option #2 is someone having a trick to getting the two
lined up.
