rendering by track vs. master

somejerk · Post by **somejerk** » Mon Feb 20, 2006 6:34 pm

hi, i looked around for a bit but couldn't find anything on this.

is it possible to render, track by track, versus the "master" track? the manual mentions something about this, but when i attempt to do so by the manual, it doesn't seem to work correctly.

my goal is to render each track so that i may pop each track into Adobe Audition (or Sound Forge, if i ever get a copy..) and use Audition's Equailizers and Compressors, then mix all of those tracks down. i'm hoping that by doing this, my mixdowns will come out a lot cleaner.

any suggestions are much appreciated!

i am using Live 5, btw.

I guess you may solo the necessary track and then render it through master as a single file.
Hope it helps!

If you are looking for a way to render 8 seperate files (for example) at the same time, no.

But you can solo/mute tracks, or groups of tracks as you like and render only those that are audible. You just have to do it multiple times.

you can record them realtime by making 8 new audio tracks and route you channels to them , if you´re not clear on how to route your tracks , check the manual . . . .

I do this all the time

This means that a "multi render" option is already included in the program... it's just to be made automatic for the people!

is than an REM reference? hehe..

i will try the book method again, using the Solo function, which didn't seem to work last time i tried it.

thanks for the feedback!

I'm curious why you would need to do this. I'm not implying that it's a bad idea, I just don't understand. What is the advantage of doing the mix in an external app? Is it just that you like Audition's EQ and compression better than Live's?

i have the same "issues".

i mix in logic, it has much more powerful envelopes.

if i have a song i scratch pad and record in live i have to manually bounce each track down and import into logic, but it is definately worth it. best of both worlds.

Total Multirender!

Great idea, how easy can it be?

Can Live run as a REWIRE slave? Wouldn't you be able to do it that way, e.g. run Logic, then run Live, then just record from a soloed Live track to a Logic track. I dunno, just a thought.

that's just resampling the tracks though, not rendering a seperate audio files outside of live.

You could try putting TapeIt over each channel so that it records to your hard drive in real time, i havent tried it but i think it could work.

so.. u just resample.. save ur set as self contained.. then outside of live go find ur set folder and all ur audio tracks are there separate

I'd also love to have a 'render all clips' function, even something simple as just rendering all clips at whatever length they are set to as played over master out, or just # of bars to render each clip over master out, would save me SO much time.

Ups, i must be drunken when I wrote this!

Indeed, it always takes the realtime, not so handy for longer pieces. Qualitywise it should be the same thought.
