(52,286 posts)5. t equals 40*ceiling(120/p)+m, where m is the time to mix the multiple tracks
and ceiling() is the round up function.
in the case of 60 players, there are two takes of the symphony, with the 60 players taking a different instrument on the second take.
once there are enough takes to constitute the intended 120 pieces, the tracks are mixed together.
