Summary | 0008652: Automation status changing to Play after "Export Range..." | ||||
Description | I have a track with several automations defined, some of them linked to MIDI events. Their status is set to "Touch". Then I select a region and export it. After the export, all the automation statuses, whether linked to MIDI or not, on any channel, including master, are set to Play. | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | Define a track with some regions on it Define some automations on the track Have those regions automation Set to "Touch" station these automations Select the region Export the region (Ctrl-Alt-E or via the menu) All Touch statuses have changed to Play | ||||
Tags | automation, export | ||||

That is intentional. During export, automation must be in "Play" or "Manual" mode to prevent changes while export is running faster than realtime. "take everyone out of a[utomation]write to avoid disasters" https://github.com/Ardour/ardour/blob/bc1d19ab39570f06017b733eae7b0099c904d72a/libs/ardour/session_export.cc#L71-L79 |

Many thanks! I understand the technical consequences of leaving these statuses on. However I find that the solution of setting all those statuses to Play is sort of dictatorial :) and makes the user go through all the affected automations repeatedly each time the Export functionality. As a suggestion, I think the previous status should be restored once the export is complete. Again, thanks! |
|
Because this is the *currently* expected behavior. Unfortunately :-) |
|
Well, restoring the previous state after export is a valid feature request. |
