![]() ![]() This is how I bypassed the use of VCA masters. In actual fact, they are an insert before the Mix is printed. This template is really analogous to the model I’ve always used: Audio tracks, Effects Processing, Sub Masters, and “Tape Tracks.” The voiceover dips tracks are a new phenomenon, almost akin to a return from tape where the narration can be mixed into the program by ducking these tracks. In those days, I often mixed without automation so memory and ear was all I had. I bypassed the VCA master approach, as my early years of mixing were spent on Split Buss Consoles, printing directly to tape and printmastering later. To that end, I have abandoned VCA masters, lined up all my desired output paths so offline bouncing is as simple as having the path engaged inside the session, incorporated a simple upmix plugin that is affordable, and stuck mainly to Pro Tools stock plugins to bring a certain universal utility to it. My aim with this template session was to bring simplicity to an otherwise complicated process. Some require VCA’s to be bypassed on a second print pass and often the templates seem to retrofit 5.1 mixing to what appears to be originally intended as a stereo template. ![]() Most templates I encounter require multiple bounce passes to output the various mix and stems deliverables I am mandated to provide, for TV, film and internet content. The output busses are all lined up to allow for quick offline bounces. I have designed what I think is a unique TV production template for typical 5.1 and stereo fold downs that meets virtually every delivery requirement I am faced with. In March 2021 Damian Kearns from 217 Audio in Toronto in Canada reached out offering to share his 5.1 with stereo fold down Pro Tools template, that you can download for free.
