CHAPTER 4: THE TIMELINE ■

Figure 4.18 Selecting Create Tone Media Figure 4.19 The Create Tone Media window

Number of Tracks I recommend making it for as many audio tracks as you have in

your sequence. Otherwise, you have to do a lot of editing later, just to put tone on

your sequence. It’s a waste of time, and that time is better spent editing the meat of your

sequence. The reason for this is, if the tracks are being sent to a sound mixing facility,

they will want reference tone on every track. However, if you are going to mix the

audio to stereo, you can put tone on only two tracks.

Target Bin I like to use a bin for audio bits and pieces. It could go there, or you could

create a new separate bin for bars and tone.

Target Drive This one is pretty self-explanatory. Just be sure that your drive has room

on it.

After you click OK, Avid creates a clip with your tone media that you can edit at

the beginning before the sequence.

Bars and Tone Standards

Every production house has some kind of schematic for creating bars and tone, so you

should check to ensure that you follow it. Often, production house staff will say some-

thing like “Just do it the standard way,” even if there isn’t one. This is how I do it:

1. First, create tone media for 60 seconds at the standard –14 level for analog out-

put or –20 for digital.

2. Select all tracks (including video) or activate all sync locks, and splice the tone

media at the beginning of your sequence. By selecting Splice, we have moved

everything in the sequence beyond the first minute, thus it remains in sync. If

you didn’t select Splice or forgot to select all tracks in the sequence, you messed

up. Undo it and then do it again.

3. Next, in the Clip menu at the top of the interface, select Load Filler, which will

load filler in the source monitor. Mark 30 seconds of filler. It does not matter

where you make the marks as long as it is exactly 30 seconds long.
