Re: [linux-audio-user] Survey about exporting audio sessions

Sometimes there's a preliminary mixdown or rare "exchange-exports" (bounce all tracks and re-import as new project) stereo and 5.1 (in my case: 6 mono output tracks) AIFF - the next man is a mac ;-) 48000kHz - 16 and 24 bits. yes. i usually export 16 bit and a 24 bit AIFFS @48kHz sometimes various wav file formats for easy-exchange, hard to be specific here. dep. on project: lame helps me with 192kbit/s high-quality mp3 and oggenc does the rest. For rare CD productions: obviously 16bit, 44.1kHz wav :o It would be nice to have an export mode to glue mastered [ardour] sessions together for making seamless continuously playing CDs of separate song-sessions! (select overlay/x-fade tracks? , graphical cue edit ?, no more hand-tweaking .toc files!) - there's surely some software to aid that purpose already that you can build on. Also it would be great if the A/V offset could be (optionally) written in the file's header when exporting eg. WAV files. - I've made a similar feat. request on ardour-dev and there's something already in the queue for importing file's offsets - but that's not due before the post-MIDI-merge. i rarely use jamin and if i do then as last stage post ardour's master out (after the mixdown). - I sometimes use jack-rack for multitrack material in a bus, works just fine.
