In the File > Export > Audio Mixdown dialog, I set up a bunch of settings for my exports, then I added one batch of tracks at a time thinking the “Locators” set when I did so would be used for each respective batch. Instead, all the batches exported to the same locators. What is the point of an export queue if everything in it ends up using the same settings?
Is there some way to get each group to use a different start/end range? (I do want them all to start in the same place, but I only want to capture the actual length of each file after that to avoid dead space that just eats up my hard drive.)
Also, in the Conflicts bit, I chose Always ask so I could see if any conflicts arose. But the program didn’t prompt me, it simply acted as if I had chosen Create Unique Filename and added a number to all the files that would have been duplicates of a previous export. (I found this because I re-exported the files that should have been longer after noticing the above-mentioned thing where everything you add to the queue uses the same, last-selected locators, despite what the locators were set to when you added each group of tracks to the queue.)
Finally, if I click out of the window, it seems to revert the Effects options to Inserts and strip, but most often I want it dry. So I’ve been keeping it open until I finish selecting all the batches. Is there some way to choose a default, or select things like this within a macro, so this doesn’t happen? (I don’t see most of the dialogue options available within the Key Commands.)
