Is there a way to automate the export i.e.
Got 8 tunes that ultimatly will become an albums worth of material.
I would like to automate the export to wav and even MP3.
Is there a way to do this in X1 Producer?

Don't think so. I could be wrong. The only Batch functionality implemented is for playing files in batch mode, not for export.

-D

The best thing you can do is to set all the parameters in the export dialog box the way you want them, then save this as a preset which you can use over & over again.

This isn't automation by any stretch of the imagination, but it saves a lot of time if you've got a lot of songs to export.

I didn't understand what the OP meant by automation, but yes...
+1 to Jonesy.
Using a preset is the most fluent way IMO.
A batch export would require having all the projects opened and that would not be realistic.

No, SONAR doesn't provide any batch processing functionality.

I have written a program for X2 that does a batch export.  I can select individual files or a directory that contains multiple cakewalk projects.  I have about 80 projects that I need to export periodically, and it can take hours to do it so I wrote this program.

Right now I can automate wave files and VBR mp3's.  The mp3 export uses the Cake Lame encoder, and you can specify artist, album, etc.  I'm currently adding fixed bit rates.  I also use your existing presets if you want.

I'm looking for input about additional functionality.

I hope to post a youtube video of the program working soon.
