I’ve always used Render Single… but according to the manual, Render Multi can render to multiple file formats?
I’m trying to render all CD tracks individually… and have 1 folder with 24-bit files, one with 16-bit files, and one with mp3 files. I need to change the dithering for the 16-bit files though… Is there a way to do this? - to automatically export all CD tracks individually for all 3 formats - and to change the dithering for the 16-bit files (currently using the MBit+ Dithering plugin included with Wavelab)? I’m trying to understand how to do it, but I don’t understand how so far…
This would be amazing - because once I finish someone’s master, I could instantly export all of their files with a single command, and then go get dinner or something while everything renders. Currently, it’s a multi-step process if I want various formats.
It would be super cool if there was a way to render the DDP files at the same time too… and even generate a PDF audio CD report… maybe I’m getting too picky now though
The multi file format feature happens post-Master Section. This means, the collected data is the same input
for all file formats.
This means, the dithering can’t be different for each format.
I agree this would be better otherwise, as well as to batch all the tasks you mention.
I’ve thought about this too but I don’t see a good way to do it because we need 24-bit, 16-bit, and also no dithering for mp3/AAC encoding from the floating point engine of WaveLab.
So the Render Multi-Formats option seems like a good idea in theory but only if the dither is managed behind the scenes after the master section which I don’t think is a good idea.
With the render presets functionality, I find it very fast to render all these formats one at a time and I am one who is normally looking for ways to work faster and smarter.
Well, maybe in the future - It would be awesome to have an option to just load a specific mastering section preset for each export (all plugs and dither), and to be able to assemble a group of exports into a single batch.
It would be a dream combination - the Render dialog window with multiple renders, each with its own Render Preset, “Master Section Preset”, “naming preset”, etc.
