Exporting wav tracks in-place for DAW?

[midipoet]

I just started looking into this today and saw your revived thread. I don't blame them for not supporting messing with the XML files. That being said, it looks to me like the time code is based on midi beats, and it comes out to 960 per beat. (Midi time codes are 24 pulses per beat, and 960 is 40 x 24, if that is significant). It also makes sense that it is based on beats because the punch-in and punch-out values on the Edit screen are always full four-beat measures.

Note that if the punch-in value is 27:1, for example, then the timestamp is for 26 full four-beat measures: 26 measures x 4 beats each = 104 beats; 104 beats x 960 = 99840, which matches my time code. The same formula works for my other punch in locations, too. Working the other way, dividing the time code by 960 gives you the beats: 99840 / 960 = 104 beats. 104 beats / 4 beats per measure = 26 measures.

I hope this helps. Good luck.

Hello Midipoet, your math looks like a good solution. I will try it as soon as possible. Thank you very much!

Is there a specific wishlist topic for this function? I can not seem to find it.

I didn’t realize this was a thing with the Bloob, my workflow always has all my needed tracks armed and recording off the start, and then I’m simply muting and unmuting tracks in the mixer. Consequently it’s a piece of cake to copy the files into my DAW while maintains sync between tracks.

And what about if you only want to focus on trying out melodies for lets say the second brake, 4 minutes into the song? How would you solve that?

I agree with horisonten‘s objection. Dcramer, your idea works certainly fine in some scenarios, e.g. if recording a band performance or alike. For overdub recordings, which multitrackers have also always been made for, it is not the solution I am expecting. Even every cassette multitracker from the 1980s allowed to punch some sounds or bars somewhere in the timeline. So does every hardware multitrack recorder till today, expect the bluebox. I cannot understand what’s so rocket science like about implementing such a rudimentary feature.
