Here we go.
21
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,120
And welcome to another pro audio suite, thanks
22
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,220
to Austrian Audio, making passion heard.
23
00:00:40,740 --> 00:00:44,700
And Triboosh, don't forget the code TRIPAP200 to
24
00:00:44,700 --> 00:00:47,040
get $200 off your Triboosh.
25
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,220
Now Twisted Wave is a very popular, I
26
00:00:50,220 --> 00:00:51,600
was going to say DAW, but it's probably
27
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:52,120
more...
28
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:53,480
It's a recorder editor.
29
00:00:53,940 --> 00:00:55,940
Yeah, we lump it into the DAW category,
30
00:00:55,940 --> 00:00:57,140
but it's not truly one.
31
00:00:57,700 --> 00:00:58,840
It's not really a DAW, no.
32
00:00:59,900 --> 00:01:03,200
But anyway, Thomas, the owner of Twisted Wave,
33
00:01:03,260 --> 00:01:05,380
has just done a survey, and George, you
34
00:01:05,380 --> 00:01:05,900
have the results.
35
00:01:06,220 --> 00:01:09,660
Yeah, you might recategorize the software when I
36
00:01:09,660 --> 00:01:10,120
tell you this.
37
00:01:10,740 --> 00:01:13,680
So he put out a poll, and he
38
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,200
used to actually have a voteable feature list
39
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:17,700
on the site, but he kind of hid
40
00:01:17,700 --> 00:01:18,080
it away.
41
00:01:19,020 --> 00:01:21,080
And then now, if you are a current
42
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,980
subscriber, you are on the current version, then
43
00:01:23,980 --> 00:01:25,660
you can do things like, you know, vote
44
00:01:25,660 --> 00:01:26,060
on features.
45
00:01:26,380 --> 00:01:28,760
So for five days, he said, let me
46
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:29,120
have it.
47
00:01:29,140 --> 00:01:30,460
Just tell me what you want, right?
48
00:01:30,660 --> 00:01:32,460
And then you let you enter anything you
49
00:01:32,460 --> 00:01:32,660
want.
50
00:01:33,340 --> 00:01:34,340
And what he did was he locked it
51
00:01:34,340 --> 00:01:35,080
to your serial number.
52
00:01:35,220 --> 00:01:37,960
So from within the Twisted Wave macOS app,
53
00:01:38,460 --> 00:01:39,960
you go to the help menu, and you
54
00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:41,100
would say, vote features.
55
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:43,420
You would click that, and it would go
56
00:01:43,420 --> 00:01:43,520
to...
57
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:44,120
How many times can you vote?
58
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,500
Well, you could add as many features as
59
00:01:46,500 --> 00:01:47,160
you wanted, right?
60
00:01:47,460 --> 00:01:48,640
So I added like six features.
61
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,000
Yeah, absolutely.
62
00:01:52,140 --> 00:01:53,520
Yeah, no problem with that.
63
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,000
So when you click on that, I want
64
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,940
to vote, then the link in the browser
65
00:01:56,940 --> 00:01:59,940
was twistedwave.com slash your serial number, which
66
00:01:59,940 --> 00:02:00,420
was interesting.
67
00:02:00,740 --> 00:02:02,600
So it knew who you were and locked
68
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:03,620
all the votes to you.
69
00:02:04,060 --> 00:02:06,240
So then everybody put in all their features.
70
00:02:06,380 --> 00:02:07,660
It was like, you know, it was wish
71
00:02:07,660 --> 00:02:08,220
list day.
72
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,600
There was some redundancy on the list and
73
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,620
whatever, but whatever the bottom line was, everybody
74
00:02:13,620 --> 00:02:14,340
got their say.
75
00:02:14,900 --> 00:02:17,280
Then five days after that, it was now
76
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,240
time to vote on the suggested features.
77
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:22,400
Now you had to pick what was already
78
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:22,740
there.
79
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,480
And he said, whatever the new feature, the
80
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,560
one that gets the most votes is, I'm
81
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,860
going to do it as in a new
82
00:02:30,860 --> 00:02:31,040
feature.
83
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:31,380
What do you guess?
84
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,440
Bodhi, Mick, feature, boat, boat.
85
00:02:36,500 --> 00:02:37,300
Bodhi, what?
86
00:02:40,420 --> 00:02:42,260
I reckon we should guess, try and have
87
00:02:42,260 --> 00:02:42,900
a guess on this.
88
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,000
I'll have what you're having.
89
00:02:44,180 --> 00:02:44,740
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
90
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:45,540
Oh, you might want to...
91
00:02:45,540 --> 00:02:46,780
They had that thing where they had a
92
00:02:46,780 --> 00:02:48,580
new boat in England and they put its
93
00:02:48,580 --> 00:02:51,220
name nomination up on the web.
94
00:02:51,860 --> 00:02:54,100
And the one that got the most votes
95
00:02:54,100 --> 00:02:55,740
for the name of the boat was Bodhi,
96
00:02:55,900 --> 00:02:56,880
Mick, boat, boat or something.
97
00:02:57,100 --> 00:02:59,020
Everybody pranked them.
98
00:02:59,180 --> 00:02:59,480
Yeah.
99
00:02:59,940 --> 00:03:01,820
Like Bodhi, Mick, boat face or something.
100
00:03:01,820 --> 00:03:02,480
Exactly.
101
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:04,060
That's funny.
102
00:03:04,900 --> 00:03:06,080
I'm going to have a guess.
103
00:03:06,420 --> 00:03:09,460
I reckon I think I know what it...
104
00:03:09,460 --> 00:03:10,120
Well, I don't know.
105
00:03:10,220 --> 00:03:10,680
I'm just guessing.
106
00:03:11,060 --> 00:03:12,160
I reckon it's going to be multi-track.
107
00:03:12,340 --> 00:03:12,440
Okay.
108
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:13,160
What do you think, Darren?
109
00:03:13,700 --> 00:03:14,200
I don't know.
110
00:03:14,900 --> 00:03:16,760
I don't really use Twisted Wave.
111
00:03:16,940 --> 00:03:17,860
Does it come with any plugins?
112
00:03:18,540 --> 00:03:19,020
That's the thing.
113
00:03:19,100 --> 00:03:20,860
If you don't use it, you don't know
114
00:03:20,860 --> 00:03:21,880
what it does and doesn't do its project.
115
00:03:21,900 --> 00:03:23,040
Well, my guess would be that if there's
116
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,220
a lot of voiceover people that use it,
117
00:03:25,260 --> 00:03:27,660
that it might be some noise reduction or
118
00:03:27,660 --> 00:03:30,260
something like that that comes with it.
119
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:30,780
I don't know.
120
00:03:30,780 --> 00:03:31,020
Okay.
121
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:32,820
I think, George, you alluded to it too
122
00:03:32,820 --> 00:03:34,580
much and it's multi-track because you said
123
00:03:34,580 --> 00:03:38,160
it's going to change its name or...
124
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:38,660
Yeah, I get it the way.
125
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:40,960
It is indeed multi-track.
126
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:42,400
Really?
127
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:43,240
So that was...
128
00:03:43,700 --> 00:03:44,700
That's kind of a shine.
129
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,700
Well, I mean, I was like...
130
00:03:46,700 --> 00:03:47,760
So I'm looking at it and I saw
131
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,040
it on the list and I was like,
132
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,400
oh man, people always want multi-track.
133
00:03:51,620 --> 00:03:52,440
Man, they always want...
134
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,040
But is it multi-track or are they
135
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:55,620
just asking for multi-channel wave?
136
00:03:55,860 --> 00:03:57,360
Because if it's multi-channel wave, it's not
137
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:58,120
multi-track.
138
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,340
It already does multi-channel waves.
139
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:01,880
It'll do many channels.
140
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,340
But they want to multi-track.
141
00:04:04,620 --> 00:04:06,980
So we all know that there's a very
142
00:04:06,980 --> 00:04:09,960
big divide between a recorder editor and a
143
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:10,080
DAW.
144
00:04:10,740 --> 00:04:10,880
Yes.
145
00:04:11,100 --> 00:04:14,740
Because a DAW implies an NLE, which means
146
00:04:14,740 --> 00:04:17,459
it's also going to be non-destructive, right?
147
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,780
Very different animal from Soundforge, WaveLab, or Twisted
148
00:04:22,780 --> 00:04:24,700
Wave, where you're just working on the wave
149
00:04:24,700 --> 00:04:25,020
file.
150
00:04:25,580 --> 00:04:25,800
Absolutely.
151
00:04:26,260 --> 00:04:27,160
That's what they want.
152
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,220
The people spoke and he's like, I'm going
153
00:04:29,220 --> 00:04:29,700
to do it.
154
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:31,620
So I have no idea how long it
155
00:04:31,620 --> 00:04:31,960
will take.
156
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,040
I do not know how he's going to
157
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:34,420
do it.
158
00:04:35,540 --> 00:04:36,900
I think it's one of those features where
159
00:04:36,900 --> 00:04:37,800
he's been hearing...
160
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:38,640
But this could go beyond what a voice
161
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:39,580
talent wants.
162
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:40,220
Exactly.
163
00:04:40,220 --> 00:04:42,440
This is a feature that's been like murmured
164
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,500
about by the users for years, right?
165
00:04:47,100 --> 00:04:48,860
So he's finally decided to do it.
166
00:04:49,140 --> 00:04:51,360
So he insisted that he would do it
167
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:52,540
in such a way that it would not
168
00:04:52,540 --> 00:04:54,980
interfere with the normal operation and software.
169
00:04:55,740 --> 00:04:57,020
I think that's important.
170
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:58,280
This is Adobe Audition.
171
00:04:58,820 --> 00:04:59,500
That's right.
172
00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:01,320
There's Wave...
173
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:02,180
What's it called?
174
00:05:02,380 --> 00:05:04,620
Waveform mode in Adobe Audition?
175
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:05,980
And then there's multi-track.
176
00:05:06,220 --> 00:05:08,560
And every editor used to have this.
177
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,900
Pro Tools used to have Sound Designer 2.
178
00:05:11,100 --> 00:05:12,260
If you go way back in history, they
179
00:05:12,260 --> 00:05:13,220
just got rid of it.
180
00:05:13,700 --> 00:05:14,940
And that was used as more of a
181
00:05:14,940 --> 00:05:16,380
file processing thing.
182
00:05:16,380 --> 00:05:18,900
But even Reaper...
183
00:05:18,900 --> 00:05:20,760
And Reaper, you can say, you know, show
184
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,040
me what your editor is.
185
00:05:22,580 --> 00:05:23,420
It's not logic.
186
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,600
You can open up this file in whatever
187
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:26,120
you want.
188
00:05:26,500 --> 00:05:28,260
And Reaper had that and many does.
189
00:05:28,620 --> 00:05:31,180
I know Steinberg Cubase has that, which obviously
190
00:05:31,180 --> 00:05:32,460
they would point at WaveLab.
191
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,440
But they have an open-end editor option.
192
00:05:35,820 --> 00:05:35,960
Right.
193
00:05:36,300 --> 00:05:36,400
Yeah.
194
00:05:36,820 --> 00:05:37,280
So, yeah.
195
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,840
I kind of feel like that, you know,
196
00:05:39,860 --> 00:05:41,780
a lot of voice talent and stuff that
197
00:05:41,780 --> 00:05:43,700
I've spoken to use Twisted Wave.
198
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,780
And I'm guessing Andrew would be the same.
199
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,500
I don't remember having this conversation with him.
200
00:05:48,500 --> 00:05:49,760
But my guess would be the same thing,
201
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:50,920
is that it's simple.
202
00:05:51,260 --> 00:05:51,980
It's just...
203
00:05:51,980 --> 00:05:52,760
There's no...
204
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:53,860
I don't have to screw around.
205
00:05:54,300 --> 00:05:55,080
I can open it up.
206
00:05:55,300 --> 00:05:56,860
I know enough about audio data.
207
00:05:56,940 --> 00:05:58,660
I can understand the basics and that's all
208
00:05:58,660 --> 00:05:59,000
it does.
209
00:05:59,100 --> 00:06:00,360
And that makes me happy because I don't
210
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:01,780
have to get stuck with shit that I
211
00:06:01,780 --> 00:06:02,320
don't understand.
212
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,260
It's a DAT tape with a waveform display
213
00:06:04,260 --> 00:06:05,440
that you can cut and splay.
214
00:06:05,620 --> 00:06:06,020
That's right.
215
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:06,320
Totally.
216
00:06:06,460 --> 00:06:06,580
It is.
217
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,380
And that would be my concern that, you
218
00:06:08,380 --> 00:06:11,060
know, when they sort of do what they
219
00:06:11,060 --> 00:06:13,020
do, they sort of lose a few because
220
00:06:13,020 --> 00:06:13,320
of that.
221
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:13,760
But, yeah.
222
00:06:14,020 --> 00:06:16,420
I don't actually understand if you're a voice
223
00:06:16,420 --> 00:06:16,620
talent.
224
00:06:16,940 --> 00:06:19,140
What use would you have for multitrack?
225
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:20,140
I don't get that.
226
00:06:20,140 --> 00:06:20,300
You know why?
227
00:06:20,500 --> 00:06:23,560
Because so many voice actors think that they
228
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,600
have to add music to their voiceovers.
229
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,940
There's a huge amount of misinformation.
230
00:06:31,260 --> 00:06:32,660
Who's asking for this?
231
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:34,820
Someone's like, I need to submit an audition.
232
00:06:35,060 --> 00:06:35,940
How do I add music?
233
00:06:36,980 --> 00:06:37,520
I'm like, no.
234
00:06:37,820 --> 00:06:39,040
Why would you add music to an audition?
235
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:40,120
That is not your job.
236
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,920
If you're auditioning for a producer job, well,
237
00:06:43,940 --> 00:06:45,500
they're going to want more than music, man.
238
00:06:45,980 --> 00:06:46,860
There's a lot more to it.
239
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,520
How about some sound design and bells and
240
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:48,800
whistles?
241
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:49,140
Yeah.
242
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,500
Every now and then there's a voiceover person
243
00:06:51,500 --> 00:06:52,880
that you meet that does like the full
244
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:53,400
production.
245
00:06:54,460 --> 00:06:56,160
And they're always using Pro Tools and they
246
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,340
actually have their head on them about being
247
00:06:58,340 --> 00:07:00,160
basically an audio engineer at that point.
248
00:07:00,180 --> 00:07:01,640
Like Jeff Berlin or, you know, we have
249
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,660
friends in the biz that are radio producers.
250
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,220
You know, they produce imaging.
251
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,580
Some musicians and they're just recording their own
252
00:07:09,580 --> 00:07:10,400
stuff that way.
253
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:10,660
Right.
254
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:11,100
Yeah.
255
00:07:13,380 --> 00:07:14,020
I'm sorry.
256
00:07:14,180 --> 00:07:15,000
That makes no sense.
257
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:16,780
Still makes no sense to me whatsoever.
258
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:18,760
Why as a voiceover artist you would feel
259
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,400
compelled to be putting music on your audition
260
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,820
is just like, it's sort of like, hey,
261
00:07:24,020 --> 00:07:25,660
I might just, you know, I really want
262
00:07:25,660 --> 00:07:26,180
to distract you.
263
00:07:26,260 --> 00:07:27,540
So I might just throw this other voicing
264
00:07:27,540 --> 00:07:28,120
here as well.
265
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:29,860
There's a second part of the voiceover.
266
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:31,240
You know, it's a two-headed voiceover.
267
00:07:31,340 --> 00:07:32,460
So I've got my wife to do the
268
00:07:32,460 --> 00:07:32,900
other part.
269
00:07:33,220 --> 00:07:33,980
She's on there too.
270
00:07:33,980 --> 00:07:35,840
Would you really do that?
271
00:07:35,980 --> 00:07:36,580
I don't think so.
272
00:07:36,740 --> 00:07:37,700
To me the question is why.
273
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,440
So is the assumption that he's going to
274
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:40,960
do a DAW in a different way or
275
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,640
a better way than the other attempts, which
276
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:44,400
I can understand.
277
00:07:45,180 --> 00:07:48,200
There's, you know, there's a certain stagnation in
278
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:48,720
that world.
279
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,620
Well, let's take that further.
280
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,580
If you could start from absolutely zero, which
281
00:07:55,580 --> 00:07:57,860
is what he's really doing and make a
282
00:07:57,860 --> 00:08:02,640
new, you know, multi-track, non-destructive mixing
283
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:03,400
platform.
284
00:08:03,900 --> 00:08:07,520
What would you do totally differently from Pro
285
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,540
Tools or really what is there anything new
286
00:08:09,540 --> 00:08:10,020
to do?
287
00:08:10,020 --> 00:08:11,520
I guess is my question.
288
00:08:11,780 --> 00:08:12,620
What would you do differently?
289
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,420
The only thing I think the anything I
290
00:08:14,420 --> 00:08:16,780
would think if because of his target audience
291
00:08:16,780 --> 00:08:17,720
that if he was going to do a
292
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,320
multi-track thing is to make it like
293
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:20,080
super simple.
294
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:20,560
Of course.
295
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,400
Like the current the current twisted wave.
296
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:23,980
So even if you're a bit of a
297
00:08:23,980 --> 00:08:25,240
numpty, you're going to work it out pretty
298
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:26,940
anything multi-track isn't simple.
299
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:28,740
You know, you move one.
300
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,240
You move one thing on one track and
301
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:31,280
you fuck the whole thing up.
302
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:32,620
If you don't know what you're doing, you
303
00:08:32,620 --> 00:08:34,360
know, multi-track, no matter what you do,
304
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:35,000
isn't simple.
305
00:08:35,220 --> 00:08:35,860
Who is it for?
306
00:08:36,159 --> 00:08:38,520
Because, you know, if you look at video
307
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,400
editors, they're basically doing their audio in their
308
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:41,880
NLE.
309
00:08:42,460 --> 00:08:45,360
If you look at audio, people running multi
310
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,740
-track DAWs, he's got a big upsell to
311
00:08:48,740 --> 00:08:49,680
do anything against.
312
00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:53,280
Like even I mean, the worst of them
313
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:53,740
are the best.
314
00:08:54,060 --> 00:08:54,860
There's so many.
315
00:08:54,940 --> 00:08:57,100
It's such a congested space and they don't
316
00:08:57,100 --> 00:08:57,660
look different.
317
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:58,700
So I think it's got to be something
318
00:08:58,700 --> 00:08:59,420
that looks different.
319
00:08:59,820 --> 00:09:02,400
And to me, maybe it's something it starts
320
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:03,660
to approach audacity.
321
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,860
Maybe he's doing because it's sort of audacity
322
00:09:06,860 --> 00:09:09,800
still continues to not really be a DAW.
323
00:09:10,180 --> 00:09:11,580
And I think the difference with the DAW
324
00:09:11,580 --> 00:09:13,420
if you really take the full argument is
325
00:09:13,420 --> 00:09:15,960
that will he put a mixer in it?
326
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,540
Because if he puts a mixer in it,
327
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,580
especially a real-time mixer, now it's gone
328
00:09:20,580 --> 00:09:21,320
full DAW.
329
00:09:21,660 --> 00:09:23,980
But audacity doesn't have a real-time mixer
330
00:09:23,980 --> 00:09:24,800
and it can multi-track.
331
00:09:25,140 --> 00:09:27,320
The other question to me is with Thomas.
332
00:09:27,540 --> 00:09:29,460
Now, Thomas is a solo player.
333
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:30,500
That's his business.
334
00:09:32,020 --> 00:09:35,080
So why would you make something potentially really
335
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,100
complicated that you have to manage and you
336
00:09:38,100 --> 00:09:38,900
have to service?
337
00:09:39,300 --> 00:09:40,540
Well, here's the thing.
338
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:41,540
Why would you do that to yourself?
339
00:09:41,860 --> 00:09:42,880
To expand your market, maybe.
340
00:09:43,900 --> 00:09:45,320
He's selling a subscription now.
341
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,500
It was always a one-and-done deal.
342
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,080
It is now a subscription.
343
00:09:49,560 --> 00:09:51,800
So he is honestly, I mean, he's under
344
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,880
pressure to add features because people are going
345
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,280
to be like, well, I'm paying for this.
346
00:09:57,460 --> 00:09:57,780
Is multi-track the right feature?
347
00:09:58,020 --> 00:10:00,360
I mean, does the fact that you put
348
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:01,700
out a poll and say, you tell me
349
00:10:01,700 --> 00:10:03,300
what you want, does that make it the
350
00:10:03,300 --> 00:10:03,840
right thing?
351
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,300
And see, he probably dug himself in a
352
00:10:06,300 --> 00:10:06,640
hole.
353
00:10:06,860 --> 00:10:07,540
Oh, I'm not agreeing.
354
00:10:07,560 --> 00:10:08,460
It's a good idea.
355
00:10:08,660 --> 00:10:09,260
No, no, no.
356
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,940
And I'm wondering why.
357
00:10:11,940 --> 00:10:14,320
And the reason I kind of come up
358
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,900
with for me is I've never used Twisted
359
00:10:17,900 --> 00:10:18,160
Wave.
360
00:10:18,380 --> 00:10:20,620
I've looked at it, obviously, so I understood
361
00:10:20,620 --> 00:10:22,500
to talk about it on this show, but
362
00:10:22,500 --> 00:10:24,060
I've never used it as a user.
363
00:10:24,340 --> 00:10:26,500
But for me, the thing with Twisted Wave
364
00:10:26,500 --> 00:10:29,000
is that he's found that perfect little niche
365
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,100
for it.
366
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,000
You know, he's found that market that he
367
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,320
just needs to super-serve.
368
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,200
And I don't know that putting multi-track
369
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,160
on Twisted Wave is super-serving that audience.
370
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,160
I go back to what is the exact
371
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:40,840
use case.
372
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,460
And if it's just like slapping a piece
373
00:10:43,460 --> 00:10:45,700
of music behind your stuff, there's a million
374
00:10:45,700 --> 00:10:46,620
ways to do that.
375
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,280
Well, the old Cool Edit, you know, before
376
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,600
Cool Edit had multi-track, you could mix
377
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:52,140
stuff in.
378
00:10:52,260 --> 00:10:53,560
You could put them over each other and
379
00:10:53,560 --> 00:10:55,600
you would put in the percentage that you
380
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,260
wanted the new thing to mix in.
381
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:58,500
Did you ever use Cool Edit?
382
00:10:58,740 --> 00:10:59,340
Did you ever use that?
383
00:10:59,340 --> 00:11:01,960
I never really used Cool Edit because I
384
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,720
never really used a Windows machine.
385
00:11:03,980 --> 00:11:04,220
Yeah, okay.
386
00:11:04,580 --> 00:11:06,000
Well, see, you could sort of mix stuff.
387
00:11:06,380 --> 00:11:07,320
I don't know if you ever played with
388
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:07,620
it, George.
389
00:11:07,620 --> 00:11:08,060
Yes.
390
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,800
And I'm going off a very rough, drug
391
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:11,540
-addled memory.
392
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,620
But you could sort of blend stuff together.
393
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,020
And maybe that might be better than trying
394
00:11:17,020 --> 00:11:18,680
to sort of sell a multi-track, you
395
00:11:18,680 --> 00:11:20,340
know, to sell a concept of multi-track.
396
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:21,460
Andrew, what were you going to say?
397
00:11:21,620 --> 00:11:22,540
And then I wanted to tell you what
398
00:11:22,540 --> 00:11:24,200
the second most voted feature was.
399
00:11:24,340 --> 00:11:26,320
Okay, well, I was going to say that
400
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,060
the subscription model, I did catch up with
401
00:11:29,060 --> 00:11:31,240
Thomas when I was in Paris.
402
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:32,520
And we caught up for a couple of
403
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:32,740
years.
404
00:11:32,740 --> 00:11:35,300
And he said to me, and I've mentioned
405
00:11:35,300 --> 00:11:38,180
this before, I'm sure, and he talked about
406
00:11:38,180 --> 00:11:39,320
doing a subscription model.
407
00:11:39,540 --> 00:11:40,680
And I said, look, based on the fact,
408
00:11:40,780 --> 00:11:41,460
it's just you.
409
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,680
And if you're not making an income because
410
00:11:44,680 --> 00:11:46,960
people just buy a one-off payment and
411
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,740
that's it, then you won't be around you
412
00:11:49,740 --> 00:11:50,440
because you're going to have to go and
413
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:51,340
get a job because you're not going to
414
00:11:51,340 --> 00:11:51,820
have an income.
415
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,140
So you have to go subscription.
416
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:55,900
I'm probably going to get hated for that.
417
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,640
No, we talked about this a year ago
418
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,280
when he launched subscription.
419
00:11:59,900 --> 00:12:00,000
Yeah.
420
00:12:00,460 --> 00:12:02,340
And I think it was a sensible thing
421
00:12:02,340 --> 00:12:03,660
to do and I have no problem.
422
00:12:03,660 --> 00:12:04,260
I think so, too.
423
00:12:04,460 --> 00:12:05,540
I can't tell you how many of my
424
00:12:05,540 --> 00:12:08,840
clients who are griping about that when they
425
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,820
see the little message pop up saying, you
426
00:12:10,820 --> 00:12:12,740
know, the next version is going to be
427
00:12:12,740 --> 00:12:13,380
subscription.
428
00:12:13,740 --> 00:12:14,540
They're like, I already own it.
429
00:12:14,620 --> 00:12:15,280
Why would I do that?
430
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,080
I'm like, do you know how much effing
431
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,580
money you have made with this $100 app
432
00:12:19,580 --> 00:12:21,380
for the last 12 years?
433
00:12:21,380 --> 00:12:21,480
Yeah.
434
00:12:21,780 --> 00:12:23,100
And then you just inspect updates.
435
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:24,620
Like, didn't you sell it before where you
436
00:12:24,620 --> 00:12:25,700
didn't even have to buy an update?
437
00:12:26,620 --> 00:12:27,600
Oh, yeah, that's how it always was.
438
00:12:27,780 --> 00:12:27,940
Exactly.
439
00:12:27,940 --> 00:12:28,720
I've been running.
440
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:30,520
I've had every update and I've run it
441
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,460
on every Mac I've ever owned with a
442
00:12:32,460 --> 00:12:33,140
single license key.
443
00:12:33,140 --> 00:12:34,700
Like, where's his effort for just doing the
444
00:12:34,700 --> 00:12:35,460
updates alone?
445
00:12:35,940 --> 00:12:36,480
He's been very, very generous.
446
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,240
And second of all, I mean, I'll be
447
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:39,460
harsh maybe, but you want to know what
448
00:12:39,460 --> 00:12:40,360
the subscription's for?
449
00:12:41,220 --> 00:12:42,700
So I stick around for you.
450
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:43,100
Exactly.
451
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:44,440
That's exactly what it's for.
452
00:12:44,580 --> 00:12:46,060
Because I don't have to do anything.
453
00:12:46,300 --> 00:12:48,660
And when Apple changes it and it screws
454
00:12:48,660 --> 00:12:49,940
up for you and I'm here to fix
455
00:12:49,940 --> 00:12:52,540
it, that's what the subscription's for in a
456
00:12:52,540 --> 00:12:52,940
way.
457
00:12:52,940 --> 00:12:53,740
I don't want it to be the next
458
00:12:53,740 --> 00:12:56,920
bias peak, which there was definitely a small
459
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:58,160
and very...
460
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,640
There was a small and very, like, loyal
461
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,700
user base of this one app called Bias
462
00:13:02,700 --> 00:13:02,900
Peak.
463
00:13:03,420 --> 00:13:05,620
I was never a fan particularly, but those
464
00:13:05,620 --> 00:13:07,280
that loved it, man, did they love it.
465
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,180
And when that went away...
466
00:13:09,180 --> 00:13:09,480
Yeah.
467
00:13:09,820 --> 00:13:11,480
It had the CD and the PQ code
468
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:12,240
editing.
469
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:14,260
You know, that's a whole area that he
470
00:13:14,260 --> 00:13:16,000
could go into if he wanted to.
471
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,800
Or, you know, it's like, why doesn't any
472
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,620
voiceover person use DSP Quattro?
473
00:13:23,980 --> 00:13:26,400
Because it's just not needed by a voiceover
474
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:27,900
person and it's kind of a two-track
475
00:13:27,900 --> 00:13:29,760
editor and it's sort of a multi-track
476
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:30,980
as so much as that you need a
477
00:13:30,980 --> 00:13:33,640
multi-track to lay up a CD and
478
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,560
maybe have an overlapping thing like a Pink
479
00:13:35,560 --> 00:13:36,160
Floyd album.
480
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:36,940
Right.
481
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:38,200
But it doesn't speak.
482
00:13:38,380 --> 00:13:40,520
It's a two-track editor or whatever.
483
00:13:40,680 --> 00:13:41,480
It's a stereo audio.
484
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:42,740
It's not a full DAW.
485
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:44,580
It speaks to a specific audience.
486
00:13:44,580 --> 00:13:46,580
And he's got this audience.
487
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,080
And maybe multi-track is the right feature,
488
00:13:49,100 --> 00:13:50,000
but I think it has to be done
489
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,320
in a unique way because one of the
490
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,400
overriding features that VO people tend to want
491
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:58,960
is ultimate simplicity.
492
00:13:59,700 --> 00:14:01,200
And he definitely had that.
493
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:01,540
Yeah.
494
00:14:01,700 --> 00:14:06,360
So the second most popular feature was non
495
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:07,320
-destructive editing.
496
00:14:08,740 --> 00:14:10,720
So he's going to have to bake those
497
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:11,560
two in together.
498
00:14:11,560 --> 00:14:13,380
He's going to be obviously doing those two
499
00:14:13,380 --> 00:14:14,820
in one go.
500
00:14:14,820 --> 00:14:16,600
It gets closer and closer to DAW, doesn't
501
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:16,820
it?
502
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:17,220
Right.
503
00:14:17,540 --> 00:14:19,800
The third one was at a history window,
504
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,880
like Photoshop, you know, for going back.
505
00:14:23,180 --> 00:14:25,700
So that's like also now stepping into non
506
00:14:25,700 --> 00:14:28,040
-destructive but not really non-destructive.
507
00:14:28,340 --> 00:14:29,500
I'll agree with that though.
508
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,960
I think that would be good if that's
509
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:32,620
not already there.
510
00:14:32,660 --> 00:14:33,960
I think that would be a good inclusion.
511
00:14:34,220 --> 00:14:36,220
So you're seeing how those top three things
512
00:14:36,220 --> 00:14:38,400
are like he can he's going to I'm
513
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:39,840
sure he's going to take those top three
514
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,560
and he's going to make that part of
515
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:41,660
it.
516
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:43,820
He's going to do like another survey about
517
00:14:43,820 --> 00:14:47,960
like what when you say multi-track, let's
518
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:48,600
get specific.
519
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,100
What do you want in a multi-track?
520
00:14:50,300 --> 00:14:51,260
What's your workflow?
521
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,980
What's your use case?
522
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,600
And try to be very because his whole
523
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,240
thing has been being so specific.
524
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,540
So he can do it again by being
525
00:15:01,540 --> 00:15:04,400
very specific about what a multi-track editor
526
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,220
means to a voiceover person or someone who's
527
00:15:07,220 --> 00:15:09,720
looking for something truly simple.
528
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:10,840
Well, there you go.
529
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:12,700
That's going to blow a can of worms
530
00:15:12,700 --> 00:15:15,740
open because when you get that answer back,
531
00:15:15,820 --> 00:15:17,620
if you ask those people, what do you
532
00:15:17,620 --> 00:15:18,580
want a multi-track for?
533
00:15:18,740 --> 00:15:19,900
How are you going to use it?
534
00:15:21,620 --> 00:15:23,620
Then this is the issue because the answers
535
00:15:23,620 --> 00:15:25,420
that come back will be so bizarre.
536
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:26,580
It will make no sense.
537
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:27,780
He will look at this thing and go,
538
00:15:27,940 --> 00:15:28,880
why am I building a multi-track?
539
00:15:29,020 --> 00:15:31,280
Because what I'm reading, the responses I'm getting
540
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,940
back from people, I don't need a multi
541
00:15:33,940 --> 00:15:34,300
-track.
542
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:35,940
Why are they asking me for this thing?
543
00:15:36,140 --> 00:15:39,560
They want to layer things maybe and it's
544
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:40,560
maybe not specifically.
545
00:15:41,260 --> 00:15:42,760
Certainly, I would say one thing is like
546
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,080
no one's going to come back or maybe
547
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:45,520
people will come back saying I need to
548
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:50,340
record, like who asked for the multi, the
549
00:15:50,340 --> 00:15:51,140
WAV file?
550
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,260
What's the use case there for the multi
551
00:15:53,260 --> 00:15:56,760
-channel, like more than stereo for just the
552
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:57,220
WAV file?
553
00:15:57,500 --> 00:15:58,120
What's the use case?
554
00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:59,940
He's going to need to ask more questions
555
00:15:59,940 --> 00:16:03,960
of what people really need it for, what
556
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,280
the use case is, how they're going to
557
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:06,100
use it exactly.
558
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:08,640
I had a few in here that you
559
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,680
don't know which are mine, but you have
560
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:11,280
to trust me.
561
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:18,160
I had interpolate auto or auto heal, select
562
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,520
a clip or pencil.
563
00:16:21,540 --> 00:16:22,800
He's down to 15 yields.
564
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:24,040
Do you know what I would have done?
565
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,300
I would have done translate this thing to
566
00:16:26,300 --> 00:16:27,940
text and let me at it.
567
00:16:27,940 --> 00:16:29,420
Is number 15 yours though, George?
568
00:16:30,060 --> 00:16:31,700
Is that yours, the ability to add normalize
569
00:16:31,700 --> 00:16:32,520
to an effects stack?
570
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:34,180
Yeah, of course, that's me.
571
00:16:34,860 --> 00:16:38,640
I was wondering, so you can't do that
572
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:38,980
already?
573
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:40,960
No, you can't because a stack is a
574
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,460
real-time plug-in rack so you can
575
00:16:43,460 --> 00:16:45,160
listen to and preview it real-time.
576
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,560
If you had normalize, it would break that
577
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:49,340
whole method.
578
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:51,340
You'd have to come up with a different
579
00:16:51,340 --> 00:16:51,940
methodology.
580
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,460
Normalize is just a post-processing routine.
581
00:16:54,460 --> 00:16:56,480
We'd have to process it in the background
582
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,980
and not actually print it, I guess, but
583
00:16:59,980 --> 00:17:01,120
still be able to play it in the
584
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:01,460
background.
585
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,900
What would be cooler is to normalize my
586
00:17:04,900 --> 00:17:07,160
gain stage so that you put a whole
587
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:08,599
effects chain together.
588
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:10,440
It runs it and it goes, oh my
589
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,540
gosh, you've just blown away your headroom in
590
00:17:12,540 --> 00:17:13,760
the first plug-in.
591
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:15,640
Lower the gain of that first plug-in
592
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,780
and make sure that each plug-in is
593
00:17:17,780 --> 00:17:21,079
not crashing into the other, and therefore you're
594
00:17:21,079 --> 00:17:23,740
not relying on 32-bit, just do all
595
00:17:23,740 --> 00:17:25,060
the math for me because I just want
596
00:17:25,060 --> 00:17:25,920
to think about it.
597
00:17:25,940 --> 00:17:26,920
I'm glad you said that.
598
00:17:27,420 --> 00:17:29,880
Months ago, I said I would really like
599
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:35,980
the ability to preset a RMS normalize setting
600
00:17:35,980 --> 00:17:41,000
that when you hit stop recording, it renormalizes
601
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,620
the track, that clip, to a predetermined RMS.
602
00:17:44,900 --> 00:17:46,320
Does he have RMS normalize already?
603
00:17:47,020 --> 00:17:47,160
Yeah.
604
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,340
What I have found that when I'm mastering,
605
00:17:50,340 --> 00:17:53,120
say I'm doing an audiobook production, my first
606
00:17:53,120 --> 00:17:55,160
step is to normalize every track to the
607
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,900
same minus 30 RMS, minus 30 RMS, boom.
608
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,240
That works beautifully because now every single file,
609
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,520
you know the RMS, so when you do
610
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,380
your processing chain with your compression limiting everything,
611
00:18:08,900 --> 00:18:10,280
you only have to set it up one
612
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:14,420
time because now everything comes out the same.
613
00:18:15,140 --> 00:18:18,940
For that matter, why not roughs normalize?
614
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:20,160
Either one.
615
00:18:20,300 --> 00:18:21,440
I mean, I don't care whether you use
616
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,760
RMS or roughs, but just to have it
617
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,100
auto set that so that, you know, and
618
00:18:28,100 --> 00:18:29,760
then someone's like, well, what if I record
619
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,220
room tone and now I have my room
620
00:18:31,220 --> 00:18:32,460
tone at minus 30 roughs?
621
00:18:32,460 --> 00:18:33,900
I'm like, okay, well, there are some scenarios
622
00:18:33,900 --> 00:18:36,640
where you don't want this to happen, and
623
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:37,560
so that would be tricky.
624
00:18:37,740 --> 00:18:39,220
But however you figure it out, you could,
625
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,040
whatever it is, there's a way to do
626
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:41,140
it.
627
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:42,500
So that was one of my ideas I
628
00:18:42,500 --> 00:18:43,360
was hoping we would do.
629
00:18:43,460 --> 00:18:44,080
That didn't happen.
630
00:18:44,940 --> 00:18:46,660
There was 11 people voted for punch and
631
00:18:46,660 --> 00:18:48,060
roll, which has been in the app for
632
00:18:48,060 --> 00:18:49,240
two years or three years.
633
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:52,700
The other one that jumps out to me
634
00:18:52,700 --> 00:18:56,620
is auto detect silences, because I mean, even
635
00:18:56,620 --> 00:18:58,200
for me, right, I mean, I use strip
636
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,260
silence on this podcast in Pro Tools.
637
00:19:00,300 --> 00:19:01,800
I use it all the time.
638
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:02,780
That's already there, too.
639
00:19:02,940 --> 00:19:05,100
You know, this is what shows when you
640
00:19:05,100 --> 00:19:07,040
have people vote on features, they're not getting
641
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:08,320
that deep into it.
642
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:09,320
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
643
00:19:09,460 --> 00:19:09,680
Right.
644
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,540
It also shows and exposes the lack of
645
00:19:12,540 --> 00:19:15,560
knowledge about the app people already own.
646
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,580
They don't know it already has punch and
647
00:19:17,580 --> 00:19:17,720
roll.
648
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,260
They don't know it already has strip silence.
649
00:19:19,380 --> 00:19:20,020
They don't know.
650
00:19:20,180 --> 00:19:21,360
They just don't know.
651
00:19:21,360 --> 00:19:23,460
So strip silence, can you adjust the parameters?
652
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,160
Like on Pro Tools, you can adjust the
653
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,000
threshold, you can adjust the start and end
654
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:27,900
times and stuff like that.
655
00:19:27,900 --> 00:19:29,600
Yeah, actually, there's more parameters than Pro Tools.
656
00:19:30,140 --> 00:19:30,660
Oh, really?
657
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:32,240
Yeah, you can get very granular.
658
00:19:34,360 --> 00:19:37,880
So, yeah, there's a lot of reasons to
659
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,440
use TwistWave as a Pro Tools producer engineer,
660
00:19:40,460 --> 00:19:43,900
because it has great utility, the batch processing.
661
00:19:43,900 --> 00:19:45,840
You know, there's a lot of things it
662
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,780
does really elegantly that if I was a
663
00:19:48,780 --> 00:19:50,540
Pro Tools geek, I might know how to
664
00:19:50,540 --> 00:19:52,760
do it in Pro Tools, but there are
665
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,020
certain things that are just so much easier
666
00:19:55,020 --> 00:19:55,520
and faster.
667
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,960
There are things that I'll export from Pro
668
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,980
Tools into Audition, because Audition does it better.
669
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:01,840
Yeah, absolutely.
670
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:02,980
Yeah, yeah.
671
00:20:03,420 --> 00:20:06,140
Interestingly, it's one thing I've noticed that TwistWave,
672
00:20:06,380 --> 00:20:08,400
well, it may have it based on this
673
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,160
list, but when I was using WaveLab, if
674
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,540
you're doing something like an e-learning session
675
00:20:14,940 --> 00:20:18,380
where you've got like a gazillion files, but
676
00:20:18,380 --> 00:20:19,740
they have the same name with a different
677
00:20:19,740 --> 00:20:22,660
number at the end, the thing about with
678
00:20:22,660 --> 00:20:24,260
WaveLab, if it was sitting on the desktop,
679
00:20:25,300 --> 00:20:26,760
I could go in there to name a
680
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,560
file and that would pop up and I
681
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,120
could just click on it, take off the
682
00:20:30,120 --> 00:20:32,180
number, put number two or 15 or whatever
683
00:20:32,180 --> 00:20:33,720
on the end and save.
684
00:20:34,100 --> 00:20:35,400
So, I didn't have to keep typing in
685
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,440
the title of that file, which I don't
686
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:39,960
know whether it does, but I certainly haven't
687
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,220
found it with TwistWave, and that for that
688
00:20:42,220 --> 00:20:43,680
kind of work is a bit of a
689
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:43,860
pain there.
690
00:20:43,860 --> 00:20:45,640
I mean, with batch processing, you can auto
691
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,680
increment that number, you know, so you can
692
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,980
have it automatically increment the number, you know,
693
00:20:51,060 --> 00:20:52,000
increase that stuff.
694
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:53,120
Does it have a feature where you can
695
00:20:53,120 --> 00:20:55,240
just dump markers and then output separate audio
696
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:56,820
files based on the place without markers?
697
00:20:57,060 --> 00:20:59,680
It'll split by marker and then output export
698
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,720
files of your determined whatever format you want.
699
00:21:03,360 --> 00:21:04,920
So, it has a lot of really useful
700
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:06,900
things for automating, banging out a lot.
701
00:21:06,900 --> 00:21:09,160
If you do e-learning, man, I'm telling
702
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:09,920
you, use TwistWave.
703
00:21:10,580 --> 00:21:13,340
It's just so much easier to bang out
704
00:21:13,340 --> 00:21:16,920
30, 40, 100, 200, 500 files, you know,
705
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,060
and you can set a predetermined amount of
706
00:21:19,060 --> 00:21:20,840
padding, you know, for the select, you know,
707
00:21:20,860 --> 00:21:23,380
when you use the detect silence function.
708
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,000
Because what detect silence does is it, it'll
709
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:27,880
either, you can make it a positive or
710
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,040
a negative selection, right?
711
00:21:29,340 --> 00:21:32,200
You can either select the silence or flip
712
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:33,580
it and select everything else.
713
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:34,000
Oh, that's very cool.
714
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,120
And then you can set the padding and
715
00:21:36,120 --> 00:21:37,500
then say, okay, now that we've set the
716
00:21:37,500 --> 00:21:40,960
padding for these selections, just now make markers
717
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,060
and then export all that stuff out with
718
00:21:43,060 --> 00:21:44,700
the right amount of padding for every file
719
00:21:44,700 --> 00:21:45,040
and stuff.
720
00:21:45,460 --> 00:21:47,800
Can you filter it, like, apply like a
721
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,300
side chain so that you're not looking for,
722
00:21:49,300 --> 00:21:51,500
like, thumps and bumps, but you're just looking
723
00:21:51,500 --> 00:21:54,760
for actual audio and voice audio and that
724
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:55,600
silence detection?
725
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,380
Like, how about, like, BS detection?
726
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:02,720
Yeah, well, I mean, once AI gets wrapped
727
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,100
in everything on the planet, there'll be so
728
00:22:05,100 --> 00:22:06,140
much more of that going on.
729
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:06,880
That's what I was saying.
730
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,020
I mean, just convert that.
731
00:22:08,620 --> 00:22:10,420
If most everything that people are doing in
732
00:22:10,420 --> 00:22:13,480
Twisted Wave is voice-oriented, just go there.
733
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:14,260
Well, here's another thing.
734
00:22:14,380 --> 00:22:15,360
So you're looking at these features.
735
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:16,660
You guys are seeing them right now.
736
00:22:17,180 --> 00:22:20,040
You don't see the letter AI anywhere in
737
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:20,460
that list.
738
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:21,260
It's okay.
739
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,320
Like, AI is not going to kill you
740
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:24,340
if it's used exactly.
741
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,260
But what I'm saying is, it also showed
742
00:22:26,260 --> 00:22:27,860
to me anyway, it shows that the user
743
00:22:27,860 --> 00:22:31,280
is very unaware of what AI capabilities are.
744
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,220
They don't even ask for it.
745
00:22:33,220 --> 00:22:35,300
Like, it's not even on the radar, right?
746
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:37,200
I, on the other hand, have been using
747
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,080
Descript for, like, the last nine months and
748
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,280
watching the versions roll out faster than you
749
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:43,880
can keep track of and all the new
750
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:44,400
AI stuff.
751
00:22:45,020 --> 00:22:47,760
And I'm like, you know, it's evolving rapidly,
752
00:22:47,860 --> 00:22:48,300
right?
753
00:22:48,700 --> 00:22:51,720
So, I have this whole parallel world where
754
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,400
I'm using this Descript thing to do all
755
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,340
this post, and it's just, it's insane, right?
756
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:57,800
What I can do with it.
757
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,440
I think that number 14 gain envelope, that's
758
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:01,460
probably going to have to be part of
759
00:23:01,460 --> 00:23:03,600
the non-destructive multi-track mode, right?
760
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,640
That's the thing is, once you build a
761
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,640
multi-track, there's a certain expectation.
762
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:09,500
You have a mixer all of a sudden.
763
00:23:09,540 --> 00:23:11,780
If you make a basic multi-track, then
764
00:23:11,780 --> 00:23:13,820
the guys that are thinking of getting it
765
00:23:13,820 --> 00:23:16,480
for multi-track are going to go, well,
766
00:23:17,140 --> 00:23:19,320
it can't do this, it can't do this,
767
00:23:19,380 --> 00:23:20,500
it can't do this, and then they're going
768
00:23:20,500 --> 00:23:22,240
to be like, where's all the multi-track
769
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:23,200
functions and features?
770
00:23:23,380 --> 00:23:24,100
Where's the toolbar?
771
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:25,720
Where's the smart tool?
772
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:27,920
Where's the slip and shuffle?
773
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,140
Where's my time code chase?
774
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,160
It is a rabble extraordinaire, right?
775
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,920
Thomas, whatever you do, buddy, we feel for
776
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:38,180
you.
777
00:23:39,380 --> 00:23:41,440
Less is more, less is more.
778
00:23:42,060 --> 00:23:45,260
Do you know my favorite feature of Twisted
779
00:23:45,260 --> 00:23:46,580
Wave at the moment, and that's because I'm
780
00:23:46,580 --> 00:23:49,060
using the new iPhone with the USB-C?
781
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:50,400
It's the upload thing.
782
00:23:50,660 --> 00:23:53,900
It's the upload thing, their little server, where
783
00:23:53,900 --> 00:23:55,620
you just, you know, you...
784
00:23:55,620 --> 00:23:57,620
That alone is worth the subscription.
785
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,620
I reckon you're super-served, the audience you've
786
00:24:00,620 --> 00:24:01,040
already got.
787
00:24:01,140 --> 00:24:03,920
Don't worry about multi-track, Thomas, seriously.
788
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:04,700
Yeah, I know.
789
00:24:05,100 --> 00:24:06,840
That's our vote, but, you know...
790
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,360
If you do multi-track, have a really
791
00:24:09,360 --> 00:24:12,220
unique take on it, because just like another
792
00:24:12,220 --> 00:24:15,140
emulated compressor, probably what the world does not
793
00:24:15,140 --> 00:24:16,180
need is another DAW.
794
00:24:16,900 --> 00:24:17,800
Well, here you go.
795
00:24:17,900 --> 00:24:20,040
There's a challenge for us for, maybe this
796
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,580
could be it, the Pro Audio Suite multi
797
00:24:22,580 --> 00:24:23,780
-track Twisted Wave.
798
00:24:24,580 --> 00:24:26,140
Or how about just the Pro Audio Suite,
799
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:28,160
VO...
800
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:29,720
I mean, actually, we shouldn't do it.
801
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:30,080
DAW.
802
00:24:30,340 --> 00:24:30,560
The DAW.
803
00:24:31,220 --> 00:24:31,400
No.
804
00:24:31,700 --> 00:24:33,480
That would go quite against Thomas.
805
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:34,500
We don't want to do that.
806
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:34,880
Are you insane?
807
00:24:35,460 --> 00:24:37,520
I think we're just twisted enough, guys.
808
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:39,080
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
809
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:39,900
How about we wave?
810
00:24:39,900 --> 00:24:40,360
Time to wave.
811
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:40,860
Goodbye.
812
00:24:41,340 --> 00:24:42,700
Goodbye, yes.
813
00:24:44,420 --> 00:24:45,400
Well, that was fun.
814
00:24:45,540 --> 00:24:45,880
Is it over?
815
00:24:47,420 --> 00:24:48,660
The Pro Audio Suite.
816
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:49,800
We thanks to drivers.
817
00:24:50,140 --> 00:24:53,740
And Austrian Audio, recorded using Sauce Connect, edited
818
00:24:53,740 --> 00:24:54,980

819
00:24:54,980 --> 00:24:57,260
