One thing I really appreciate about Adobe After Effects is you can send a bunch of different compositions to the render queue and hit a button and do everything at once (well, sequentially), rather than sitting around and waiting for each to finish before you have to start off a new one - something that could take many hours between each render if the project is complex enough.
 
Tonight I'm rendering out an album for a client in SONAR, and each project is quite complex, so each export is at least 10 minutes. If there was a way to queue them all up and set and forget, much like exporting Mix Recall mixes are, that would be a MASSIVE time-saver. I could have easily done a set and forget and gone off to have dinner or whatever and come back to a completed album.
 
I'd see this as something that would be like a playlist of sorts, and it would only exit on error (such as a missing plugin, etc.) before the queue is done.
 
What do we all think?

Batch processing?     Yup, good idea in my book.
 

Yep. That's an area where Sonar is lacking. For these sorts of batch processes it really needs a scripting language.

like CAL?

To the best of my knowledge Cal only ever worked with MIDI data not audio.

Yeah, a scripting language is high on my wishlist too!
 
I'm not sure if that'd apply in this situation since it would be loading in separate projects files rather than actually manipulating the files themselves like you'd expect from scripting, but I guess theoretically you could write a utility to load *.cwp in a directory and then export.

indeed it only works with MIDI right now, but CAL is still a scripting language; cakewalk also started out as midi only i believe? so maybe CAL could be "shown some love"...

What if there was a way to export all projects in a playlist?

I like that approach.

Aye, that's pretty good. Would save me plenty of time.
