Hey guys,

This one isn't music related, but I figured this would be the best place to ask.

I'm about to record ADR for a film I'm working on (replacement audio for audio that wasn't recorded well on set). We are going to have the actors come in to re-record the new audio in studio and match it as best as we can to their lips in the video. I know we can get pretty close to matching, but never perfect.

This made me wonder, can I take the new audio clips we record and match the peaks of the original audio to give us a perfect sync? Working in ableton.

would prob get u pretty close at least i imagine

It makes sense to use as a starting point and then use your ears to get it tighter in time.

Exactly. Any producer will tell you to use some kind of analyzer etc.. to get yourself in the ball park. Your ears are your most reliable tool.

Nah i have never used any kind of analyser. I did this for coursework in uni and matching it using your eyes and ears is deffo the best way.

What kind of analyzer would a producer/engineer use to match audio to video rather than his eyes and ears?

Oh I didn't see that it was audio to video. disreguard my irrelevant input.

I dont know, but i have to do ADR for uni, and we were told some programs that can actually do this. I think its called Vocalign. This is what I have noted down but it might be another program, but i wrote next to it that its for tightening up dialog haha. But yeah they said that you can use the original audio and then align the new ones to it.

Heh, nvmd. Brain too tired to work...
