Mark Franken from Sounds In Sync has been in touch to give us a heads up on the new v3.4.1 release of EdiLoad, their conforming and re-conforming software for use with Pro Tools.
Watch out for two new tutorial videos from EdiLoad creator Mark Franken showing how you can use the new features to more easily handle multiple time stamped WAV files.

What Is EdiLoad?
EdiLoad is an application that allows sound editors and mixers to perform a variety of time-saving tasks. From re-conforming (re-cutting) a Pro Tools session following picture changes to conforming (assembling) location WAV files in Pro Tools, EdiLoad is designed to streamline the workflow of any film or television sound-post production.
At its heart EdiLoad manipulates edit lists through its filter, batch modify and cleaning controls. With its ability to import and export Pro Tools sessions, new work-flows can be created to automate repetitive tasks or enable new processes on custom productions.
