Freezing Patterns / FX Channels Down to Wavs in the Audio Track Quickly
DESCRIPTION - [HIDE/SHOW]
This quick trick lets you choose the FX channels you want to render, then select the pattern(s) you want to render down to a wav file. This is then immediately auto-placed into the audio-track as an audio-clip, in the same chosen (highlighted) place in the song that you rendered.
TUTORIAL:
1 - [To render this 4 bar synth pattern to an audio track]
Highlight one instance of the pattern on the playlist by 'double click+dragging' or holding Ctrl while dragging on the the black position bar at the top.
2 - We want to render this Simsynth pattern, and its routed to FX channel 1.
So go to the mixer and select FX channel 1 there.
3 - Click record on the bottom right.
4 - Name the file, maybe make a folder where your always gonna want to save recordings like this.
* * * Repeat steps 2-4 for each FX channel you wish to render down. If you just want wavs for every fx channel in use, use the file > export > 'Split mixer tracks' option in the dialog box. * * *
5 - Click here to get the mixer options menu up.
6 - Goto 'Disk Recording' and make sure 'Auto-create audio track' is checked.
7 - Click 'Render to file...' (Alt+R)
