[Audacity-devel] Multi-channel file export

[Richard A. <ri...@au...>]

I know some work was done on this a while back, did it ever get finished
and what is it's status vs. release? There is a small but steady trickle
of people who would really find it useful, but don't want to use Ardour
or something commercial.

I can't remember who it was was working on it, but I know we had a
routing dialogue to assign tracks in the project to channels in the
output audio file running.

Hi Richard

I worked on that feature a while back. Although I have done some minor
testing, I am not sure if enough people have tried out the feature to affirm
the stability. So, in short, the development is complete and the feature
should be ready for release provided we get to do some more testing.

Just to add, I do have some ideas about adding gains for each channel and
using a similar dialog to enable Audacity to playback multichannel audio (
suggested by Dominic ). I feel these will make the feature more "complete". 

Unfortunately, I am not sure if I have enough time to do these changes
before the release. I just changed my home machine from Linux to an Intel
Mac and I haven't yet set up development environment on the Mac. ( spare
this OSX n00b :) )

Anyway, I think the feature is still fairly complete as it is now. So, the
enhancements could go into 1.5 unless we really want to include them in the
1.4 release.

Best regards
Arun Kishore

Fine - we can have it in the 1.3 release candidate, and then see what it
does with users. Provided nothing lethal emerges we put the multichannel
export into 1.4

Makes sense - multi-channel playback can definitely be separate from
multi-channel export, so having one and not the other isn't a problem
(although it will increase demand for multi-channel playback and
recording, it is useful independent of them).
