Using SoundReplacer

Following are basic guidelines for using SoundReplacer effectively. Also see Getting Optimum Results with SoundReplacer.

To use SoundReplacer:

1 On the source track, select the audio you want to replace. Only selected audio will be replaced.

2 Choose SoundReplacer from the AudioSuite menu.

3 Click the Load Sound icon (the icon beneath the yellow slider) to import the replacement sound for amplitude zone 1.

4 Locate the desired audio file and click Open.

5 Adjust the amplitude zone slider.

6 Repeat steps 3–5 to load replacement sounds into amplitude zones 2 and 3.

If you use only a single replacement sample, you should still set all three amplitude zones for optimum results. This will ensure accurate triggering. For details, See Mapping The Same Sample Into Multiple Amplitude Zones with SoundReplacer.

7 To align the amplitude peak in the replacement file(s) to threshold trigger markers in the source audio, enable Peak Align.

8 Click Preview to audition the replacement audio.

9 Adjust the Threshold sliders to fine tune audio replacement triggering.

10 Adjust the Dynamics slider to fine tune how SoundReplacer tracks and matches changes in the source audio’s dynamics.

11 Adjust the Mix slider to get the desired balance between replacement audio and source audio.

12 Adjust the AudioSuite File controls. These settings will determine how the file is rendered and what effect the rendering will have on the original clips. Here are some guidelines:

Decide where the selected clip should be rendered:

To render the selected clip only in the track in which it appears, choose Playlist from the Selection Reference pop-up.

– or – 

To render the selected clip in the Audio Clip List only, choose Clip List from this pop-up.

Decide if you want to update every occurrence of the selection clip:

To render and update every occurrence of the selected clip throughout your session, enable Use In Playlist (and also choose Clip List from the Selection Reference pop-up).

– or – 

If you do not want to update every occurrence of the selected clip, disable Use In Playlist.

If you have selected multiple clips for rendering and want to create a new file that connects and consolidates all of these clips together, choose Create Continuous File from the File mode pop-up menu.

Because SoundReplacer does not allow destructive rendering, the AudioSuite Overwrite Files option is not available.

13 From the Destination Track pop-up, choose the destination for the replacement audio.

14 Click Render.
