b) Mute / Solo buttons in the Arrange and Mixer Windows are NOT linked. Can cause confusion if working in both panes on a busy session.
There is a way to fix both Continue reading »
Here’s how to create this useful utilty that is fine tuneable to suit whatever output medium you choose.

I worked on an audio session bounced down to 59 tracks. All rendered files are stems that are longer than the actual audio file length and start at bar 1 so that I could be sure of lining them up properly in my new session.
I’ve rendered off from a previous session in order to hardwire all automation data from Continue reading »
