"render in place"?

Post by jayemell » Thu Apr 03, 2014 4:55 am

is there such a thing as "render in place with rename" in the session view?
i'd like to have whatever processing occurring on a given clip and then render to disk with a new filename that i specify.
do i have to export for this?

i know of a long alternative, but it's a bit laborious:
1. record link to another audio track based on playing the clip in session view
2. play live with only that clip; will rec into other track
3. new clip takes name of track, now i would like to rename file (maybe the solution is to name the track what i'd like to see on disk? seems hacky)
4. show in browser
5. rename
6. show in finder
7. copy/paste/cut to destination in my personal sample lib

:?

thanks,
jml

export rendered track would work fine for this.

-or-

a shorter laborious version:

1. duplicate the track (ctrl-d)
2. freeze
3. flatten
4. right-click the clip and ->show in browser (to get the name)
5. right-click the clip and ->show in explorer (to get the file)

(optional) delete unwanted clips from the duplicated track to speed up the freeze.

also, if you do ->show in browser you can immediately hit ctrl-R to rename the file and then just drag-and-drop the file from the Live browser to where you want it, explorer or desktop or folder, etc.

easier:
- freeze track
- alt-drag to copy frozen audio to new audio track
- unfreeze track

This. I've tried all above methods, do this kind of thing daily, and this way is definitely the smoothest / fastest. Though Clydsedale's notes about right click > show in browser / finder(explorer) are very useful as well for keeping track of everything / moving stuff.
