The "export tracks" option as it currently works is pretty useless for
mastering (or much of anything).

All it does is it basically soloes every track in sequence and exports.
This means that any sidechaining with peak controllers gets lost, so if
you use sidechaining in your project, it's no use at all. And I'm not
sure if even automations work with it...

I think this feature needs to be rewritten so that peak controllers etc.
can still "hear" the output of the other tracks, but their output just
doesn't go to the output. Then it could be a really powerful feature
(export tracks, open in audacity, do final mixing/mastering...)
