OS: Windows 10
Version: Hindenburg 1.82.2302

I noticed the following behavior and I think, this is a bug:

When I connect a Zoom H6 Fiel recorder to the computer and use the the H6 in as interface in multi track mode, I can choose different inputs for different tracks, for example Microphone 3 and 4 in Hindenburg for H6 channels 1 and 2 (XLR inputs).

I can see the levels of both microphones in Hindenburg separately on both tracks, just as I would expect.

But ony the first of the both channels is recorded on both tracks. The second microphone is not recorded.

I can reproduce this behavior with inputs Microphone 5 and 6 in Hindenburg for H6 channels 3 and 4, too.

This problem doesn't seem to occur when switching on ASIO.

As the levels are correctly displayed I suspect this is caused by Hindenburg Journalist. In Reaper I cannot reproduce the behavior.

See attached screenshot to view inputs, levels and recorded waveforms.

Occasionally, when producing a podcast you leave a little bit of audio at the far right - you might have moved it there on purpose while editing. The result is your lovely podcast, which plays all the way through, then a big gap, then a little clip of audio.

As a suggestion, when publishing or exporting a file, you could detect long periods of silence and place this in the dialog box at the end, as an advisory for editors. "For information: this audio contains 183 seconds of silence." That, alone, would be enough to at least notice that something isn't, quite, right.

When editing a track (cutting out unnecessary repetitions, breaths, and such) the playhead sweeps over the region to be cut out, so one must scroll back to get the relevant part in view. Doing this with the scrollbar at the bottom is not easy - dragging the slider is too fast, clicking on the empty part of the scrollbar is too slow.
I see two good solutions to this problem which could be implemented simultaneously:
1. Some key + mouse drag transforms the cursor into a hand (like Space in Adobe Photoshop, or the Hand tool in Acrobat Reader), and you can pull the relevant region into view while the playhead stays at its original position.
2. Shortcuts, preferably simple keystrokes to jump back and forward a fixed portion of the screen (default to half, but may be customizable). The playhead stays at its original position.

Hi,

I'm currently running into a serious issue because I'm working with two distinct audio tracks that go hand in hand (an interview). I'm torn between just editing from the track or organizing everything into the clipboard first. The issue with the latter is I don't know how to sync my clips up later, especially when there's interjection. Currently, all the clipboard does is show how long the clip is (which isn't really important) instead of at what time the clip was cut (for example, 45 seconds). If I had that, I would know exactly how to put the puzzle back together to say the least.

USE CASE: Recording in-person customer interviews with your mobile app -- which is awesome by the way.

PROBLEM: my customer says something great. I add a marker. When I play back the audio from the marker, I always have to go backwards 10-15 seconds, because I set the marker after I realize something great was said, not before it. :) I have to do that with every marker made with the mobile device.

OPPORTUNITY: I believe you would be the only recording application which actually solves this problem for journalist, marketers and others.

if you solve the problem I would love to be notified! Thanks!

In an organisation that has multiple recording studios It is common to prepare the structure in advance, send it to a studio and after the recording someone does a quality check on the end product.
One of those checks is very evident: checking if the structure of the book is intact.

Hindenburg ABC has already a difference between a reading mode and edit mode on the manuscript but we believe we could gain more security if you could activate an overall lock on the entire manuscript. For example with a menu option, or with a lock button on the manuscript titlebar.

This might help additionally against accidental damage to the textstructure made by someone else before recording.

In a studio-environment it can be quite messy when you need to drag the Narration View window with the mouse to an external monitor for the reader in the cabin. You don't see that monitor, so it is a bit odd.

Windows 10 has a set of very nice shortcuts for Window management. Although the shortcut for maximizing (Windows key + arrow up) works perfectly fine, the combination Windows key + SHIFT + arrow left/right doesn't.

With Windows key + SHIFT + arrow left/right you can move a window between monitors. This is a very handy shortcut! This works with the main Hindenburg ABC window, but It doesn't with the Narration View window.

We believe this might be as easy to solve as changing a very particular window-configuration-parameter.

If you don't understand what I mean, please leave me a message via e-mail.

When first cutting a recorded interview, usually there is no need for selecting and dragging regions. The main activity is selecting areas for editing, splitting areas and cutting. However, the primary function of the mouse button is still the selecting of regions - you have to go to some empty place (often the only option is the thin area* separating two tracks) for the cursor to change into selection mode.

So it would be very useful to have a shortcut (like SomeKey+mouse drag) to put the mouse cursor in selection mode, or even a dedicated Selection Mode, when only the selection cursor is available.

*Support informed me that actually the whole lower third of the track areas switches the cursor to selection mode - thanks for that - however, the idea of the above mentioned Selection Mode still seems helpful.
