many people (including me) would like this feature, but I guess it is a problem to assign layers of different riffs to tracks. Here is my suggestion: use the icons in RW. Layers with the same icon will go to the same track. If there are two layers in a riff with the same icon then RW will create a new track. Song layers will also go to separate tracks.


Something like that.

I hope you find it interesting

cheers

Yes exporting multiwavs... I doing something right now where I have a riff with 5 layers.. I want to take the layers independtently now to work in pro tools..

The Entire song thing would be nice.. but if we could export layers of a riff that would be great too.. and should be easy!

If someone wants to export the layers of a riff, just export each layer as (filename+layernumber).. I would suggest skipping layers that are muted...

The only way to do this that I know of is empty the timeline and mix each layer one at a time...

It would be a great asset to be able to export layers of riffs independently..

tx..

Instead of tagging layers with similar icons, can't you just mute the tracks you don't want, and export the rest? Granted, you would have to do it a few different times, but doing it the way I'm suggesting gives you this same capability now, albeit a few more steps...

Yes you can do it now. But it takes alot of time if you have lots of riffs. Us lazy folks like things like "automation" and "batch processing". I've seen this in other programs but in those you have your layers lined out on individual tracks. Like in Reaper you can render stems as individual tracks.

It might work if we could merge our little riffs into big riffs in the song bar for mixing it would be a godsend.

I also wouldn't mind a "master mute switch" for all backups. Since a global volume control would not work across all the different kinds of back ups.

I think you can make a kind of multiwav export using intelliriffer:

What I imagine for a multitrack song is:

a) a fully programmable map layers--> tracks.
b) an automatic map layters --> tracks using the icons.

I think the two options should be in the program; the second one is more "RW style", simple and intuitive.
