Until a few years ago, all audio which was imported into a post-production audio workstation was recorded in real time. Any DAW which incorporated timecode and RS422 support was a potential candidate for auto-conform software, and of course, SADiE was one of the very first systems to offer this. It enabled automatic, synchronised recording of audio from timecode DAT or VTR machines into the workstation according to an EDL supplied by the video editor. However, since the advent of disk and flash memory-based field recorders, and multi-channel location acquisition practices, the ability to apply EDLs to source material on disk, rather than tape, has become more important. More recently, the autoconform EDL, which is likely to have been generated in mono or stereo, might need to refer to source audio files on disk which could span 8 or more channels. The new SADiE Autoconform pack, in a single stroke, puts SADiE at the forefront of working with file-based location recording devices. The enhancements in the software dramatically improve the workflow of a typical project in post production.
