MuSyC System Settings

In the system settings in the section SD Cut/MuSyC (menu Edit > Multi-synchronous cut > 4 Point cut preferences... there are some settings that impact working with MuSyC:

  • Automatic synchronization between projects: These options concern the automatic alignment of certain positions between overview project and destination project. They are preset all on, so all positions are always kept equal. Destination to overview play cursor + ranges means, for example, that a change of the play cursor position and range selection in the Destination project is transferred to the Overview project. Similarly, the option works in the other direction and also the two other options for Source and Destination In markers. If necessary, you can deactivate individual synchronizations here.

  • Overview project settings:

    • Show true timing in overview: If this option is active, the reference objects will be displayed in the overview project without time alignment, but the waveforms will be synchronized with the play cursor. This enables the actual timing of the takes to be observed.

    • Play source project instead of overview project: By default, only the reference track of the respective take is played when the overview project is played back. With menu Edit > Multi-synchronous cut > Play source the source project can be played if necessary. If the option is active, the source project is always played.

    • Command "Copy" copies source when called from overview: This option (active by default) causes that when copying a range in the overview project, the corresponding range from the source project is copied to the clipboard instead. This way you can also use the overview project to move audio data by using Copy and Paste without using the Source/Destination cut commands. If you explicitly want to copy the reference objects from the overview project, deactivate the option.

    • Automatic cut adaptation while cutting from overview to destination: For cuts from the overview project into the destination project, the default crossfades are used and automatically placed so that the cuts are as inaudible as possible. For this purpose, another musical content analysis is performed in the close-up area around the cut to ensure perfect transitions.
