multitrack WAV export

Post by geoffroy » Tue Jun 22, 2004 11:40 am

Hi

It would be VERY nice to have a multitrack WAV export, where one 32 bit wav file per track and aux bus would be created.

It would ease further studio integration with Samplitude and/or Pro Tools.

Thanks

As someone who frequently outputs every LIVE track and FX return to individual files for mixing in Logic, that would be damn sexy :!:

and it shouldn't be that hard to implement!

one note...

I don't think you'd want the tracks to normalize if you used this feature... or somehow if you wanted to normalize, it'd have to normalize the entire mix and then write out the individual tracks with the levels set... otherwise you'd end up with lots of clipping...

Yup, good idea in a Protools dominated world. This way we could easily share our innovative way of working with the traditional one :-)

All the best

i really don't understand that this isn't standard already...i also miss it in Reason etc....... to give the best option to share tracks between people or other programs.........so i agree ;)

I wholeheartedly agree with this feature. I use this all the time on ACID. Hit the button then take a break. When I come back all the tracks are exported independently. Brilliant.

this is one of those features every studio app should have as standard :)

simply route your audio into tracks, arm them, and press a scene button to trigger recording on all of them.

no -> that's not convenient as you should add as many audio tracks as there are tracks in your tune.

I do this all the time, there are 2 options:
First (the easiest IMHO) is to use ReWire to send each track and aux to a separate track in ProTools. Easy, fast, clean.
The 2nd is much like what the last poster said, I input each track and aux to a new audio track and record them all in one pass. Then I have a single file for each 'track' on my hard drive. The easier way to do this is to use the consolidate command.... then I can just take the consolidated audio file and bring it into a ProTools track...
