Hey all,
I was trying to see if any of you had some tips or tricks to help speed up the audio editing process for audiobooks and podcasting.
The thing I am trying to figure out is how to quickly and more efficiently close the gap between dialogue between a group of people, while still keeping the audio synced with each other and not disturbing the tracks that I'm trying to bring closer together.
As of right now, the only thing I came up with was putting all the tracks into a single folder and using the "ripple effect" to manually select the "dead space" between all the tracks and deleting it to make them closer in time. The only problem is that if I accidently select on any of the Yellow on the folder track (Yellow VOX track) it will mess up the synchronization with some audio tracks that are in the folder causing some of them to be out of time and giving it an unwanted delay effect.
I tried edit lock, clicking and dragging, and grouping, but it doesn't seem to work either.
Am I just doomed to having to be very careful to not select on the yellow boxes when deleting dead space or am I missing something crucial?
I posted this on reddit so you can see what I'm talking about visually.
