Goodbye learning curve??????? - HELP

[fladd]

This slogan must be a joke! I am trying for more than 1 hour now to render 4 rewire tracks! Where can i record these to a 5th track which i can render then? i cannot record, bacause it wants an active input, but i don't want to record from a input of my soundcard but from the output from the other tracks! How can I render a rewired track?

Thanks

When you click on a track, in the box on the bottom there is a list of outputs and stuff. There is also a list of all your tracks. Just click(or shift-click) on the tracks you want to route to another track, and then select the track in that box that you want to route them to. Maybe this isn't what you are trying to do?

Or, you can select all the tracks you want rendered, then just hit "Render" and then choose from the options there.

I'm not great with Rewire, and I may be getting your question wrong, but I hope this helps some.

And really, Tracktion is very low on the learning curve. But there's alot under the hood, and some of it takes time. Good luck!

You have to create an empty midiclip ("G" is the fastest way)and put the clip on the track you want to render. Then just render the track like normal by selecting the track and using the "render track" button, or you can also export the audio file if you need more options. Its way faster than rendering it in real time.

Well, as I rewire, i don't have any audiorecordings in that tracks(you now, something you can edit, and mark and stuff, there are just no audio clips) but just empty tracks, where the tracks from the rewireslave are send to. So i can't just render it, i need audio clips, that i can render, i need to record the sounds that are on the 4 tracks in tracktion to have something to render, understand?

Yeah, I'm guessing you want the mixed track to end up as a audio track in your edit?

Select all four rewire tracks together, and route them all to your fifth blank track.

Select the group track and press "G" (this inserts an empty MIDI clip to stop Tracktion complaining there is nothing to render)

With the group track still selected, press Render Track -> Render Into Project Directory -> Replace

See if that works. (I don't use rewire at all myself..)

Admittedly, that's a bit of a flaw--

But the "Goodbye Learning Curve" is quite appropriate for people who are recording and mixing original audio parts from within Tracktion.

I got it now, thank you!
That is very complicated to do. In Live this is definitly easier.

Really? My understanding is that Live's ReWire is poorly implemented. Now, granted that inserting a "dummy clip" into your tracks is counter-intuitive. But once you know that teeny bit of info, is the actual render more complicated?
