Using the Multitake Editor
What Is ADR?
Automatic dialogue replacement (ADR) is a process of re-recording dialogue in the
studio in synchronization with the picture. There are at least three roles in the ADR
process: the actor, the recording engineer, and the sound editor. The actor has to
recreate his or her performance and perfectly match up his or her speech to that of the
film. The recording engineer has to recreate acoustic spaces so that it doesn’t sound
like an actor is in a recording studio. The sound editor has to pick and choose the best
parts of multiple takes, combine them into one composite clip, and keep everything
synchronized to the picture. The Multitake Editor in Soundtrack Pro was created to
address the needs of the sound editor in this scenario.
Multitake Clips
A multitake clip is a “layered” audio clip. This means it contains multiple versions or
“takes” of the same audio material, such as a line of dialogue. Generally, these takes
represent overlapping spans of time in your program. In an ADR recording session, an
actor may repeat the same line many times. A single multitake clip can contain all of
those takes as distinct items.
Creating Multitake Clips
You can create a multitake clip by either recording one or converting a standard clip to
a multitake clip.
