Audio Overview

Designer works with audio in two distinct ways: audio can be inserted directly onto the Track or added to a layer on the timeline.

To achieve PA audio quality (including per-machine patching), it is recommended to embed uncompressed audio within a video file or to use the Audio Layer.

Track audio (.mp3, .wav, or .aiff) can be quantised and used as a guide audio track, allowing a show to be sequenced to the beat.

For file format information, see Supported File Formats.

Quantising a track and sequencing to the beat

Section titled “Quantising a track and sequencing to the beat”

An audio file can be attached directly to the Track. It is then possible to quantise the audio track. Quantising involves editing a beatgrid to snap Track events to the beat, enabling content to be sequenced to the beat.

For step-by-step instructions on how to quantise an audio track, see Quantised Audio.

Outputting high quality audio

Section titled “Outputting high quality audio”

VX and GX range servers (except the GX 1) have a professional RME audio card that outputs balanced stereo over XLR. The pro range and 4U servers have one too, and it is an option on the Solo and 2x2plus. EX range servers have no audio inputs or outputs, but an external audio interface can be used.

AudioAnalyser

Section titled “AudioAnalyser”

The AudioAnalyser device captures audio from a connected source and exposes its level and frequency content for use in expressions. For more information, see Audio Analyser.
