Just wanted to say how awesome this combination sounds! This is in my default patch.
I used to record multitrack, split the broadcast wav and import into Ableton for mixing. I’ve not done it for some time, because it was hard to make it sound better than this combo, mixed down to 2 channel audio.
One thing that would be cool is a recorder you could feed with the poly direct outs that knows how to record them to broadcast wav.
In case you weren’t aware of this trick, you can send the output of the Rackwindows module back into the chain inputs in the mixer, and solo those chain inputs (right-click option in the master label). This allows you to then use the master VU and master fader directly of the mixer
One of the nysthi modules does poly recording. I’ve only used it the once to test how it worked. But was great. Otherwise, I tend to just record the stereo output with VCV’s recorder.
You mean RackWindow Console? I think it’s pretty subtle, but especially when the track count goes up it adds a certain I-don’t-know-what that glues the mix together.
Your mileage may vary. I haven’t done this but it would be good to add a crossfade so you can A/B with it bypassed and decide for yourself.
maybe in the future ?
we can establish a protocol and exchange information between Mixmaster and polyrec ? @marc_boule what do you think ?
when I’ll have again some time to work on VCV Rack !
the big problem could be “name collisions” for the files, but should be solved always appending the number of the saved track
That could be interesting, we already have something set up to communicate the track names to EQmaster, but all that is through a global class in the plugin, so I don’t know how it could be accessed from another plugin. But perhaps something could be tweaked, or something added to it, so that you could see it? Here’s how it currently works if you’re curious to see:
That’s a different pattern. It’s a single static mixer bus object which everyone refers to in a locked style for delivery
That approach could prove tricky if sat you had two rack pro sessions in a non sandboxed daw or multiple client modules and server modules but you can work through that easily enough and looks like you did
That pattern of a singleton everyone pub subs to is a bit less useful I think for re routable module stuff
