Batch export, export queue

Hello everyone,
one of features I am really missing in Cakewalk Sonar is possibility to schedule export queue of multiple parts of the project,
like for ex. when recording multiple songs within one project and want to export them as separate files, it's quite annoying to export every "region" separately, wait when it's done, then select another "region" and export again another file - especially when using plenty FX and Synths so export takes fairly long...
cheers

    I would totally use this for every single project

    Be the first one who thinks that you can

    Somehow such a feature should tie in with mix recall i.e. you should be able to select regions in a project and batch export it with a selected mix e.g. scratch tracking of several songs in one project. song A needs more vox, song B needs lower vox, thus mix quickly and save mix scenes, then export region #1 with mix A and region #2 with mix B ...
     
    maybe a simple way to achieve this would be to have mix recall (optionally!) remember the timeline and tracks selection???
     
    I would use this lots, too, for bouncing rough mixes plus mix stems for rehearsal play-alongs from scratch arrangement.

    totally agree with Rob - now with Mix Recall feature, having Batch Queue would finally make sense!

    +100! Exporting stems for DJs, Soundtracks etc etc are a total pain if you want all the stems to run through the master buss and FX. Export by Folder or something would be flipping awesome.

    It would also be nice to be able to "export separate files from markers". If I have mixed a live recording, of a set from a club performance or some such, it would be great if I could have markers for each song and just pick the regions between selected markers to be exported to separate file. These could even have the mp3 tags embedded from info included in the markers. I guess this would suggest that markers could contain different sets of info or designations, like "song start", "song end", etc.

    In addition to that, having the ability to assign the channel to export queues within the track manager would be outstanding!

    This would be nice, but what I would rather see (or maybe in addition to the above comments) is the ability to setup a batch render of several different projects.  For example, I am working on a CD right now with 17 songs.  After rendering everything and listening on various speakers, I realized that I made the lead vocal about 1-2dB too loud on every song.  It's not too big a deal to go into each project and lower the lead vocal track a bit, but what is a real pain is having to render each one individually, waiting for each one to finish in between.  There should be a way to select a bunch of projects, setup the export options (bit depth, samplerate, etc) and have it render each project from start to finish.

    @tomboughner I think I understand what you mean, it's probably more matching my other features&ideas thread here: http://forum.cakewalk.com...ects-REQ-m3447359.aspx

    I think the marker system needs an update altogether and could use some more advanced timeline callout functions other than just basic text markers.  For example, just having "track" or "track region" markers would help for mastering / album sequencing and arrangement greatly.  Even if they only implemented a simple direct-disc burn feature from within the DAW that would render through the project and then begin the burn process,  it would be a giant first step toward deeper mastering enhancements down the line such as DDP/DPP creation.

    Just reading through everyone's comments, I think we can all agree that Sonar would benefit overall from a "batch command system".  Since people have mentioned several different unique approaches to where a batch function might be useful, having a batch command function in general could open the doors to a number of things we might want to gain access to.
     
    Potential batch-accessible commands:
    1. Conditional multi-export: export > Audio and perform render tasks in more ways that just "entire mix" "Buses" or "tracks" options currently available in a single render dialogue.*
    2. Meta-driven batch clip export: intelligent exporting of individual clips, with options for exporting the clip "in place" and/or with downstream mix options (follow-to-bus or follow-to-master).  Clip naming would be identified by it's track name and/or #, Nearest marker preceding it, and increment # based on previous clip in the same track (or within a region identified by the most recent marker).
    3. Track creation by take-lanes:  Mostly for sound-designers who iterate record passes or FX.  This option could allow users to "explode take lanes to independent tracks".  increment the name of the track based on it's take-lane #.
