Welcome to MuTrack (move uncountable tracks)

These are the development pages for a multi-track digital audio recording import tool.

First things first:

• How to build and run MuTrack
• How to use MuTrack

About MuTrack

MuTrack comes in handy, especially when recording multiple takes or projects with multiple channels on multiple recorders and you end up with lots of automatically named audio files, on several storage devices, with file structures specific to the recording device and all that you want is

• all recorded channels of a song/project/take in the same folder on a hard disk
• all songs/projects/takes in separate folders
• all files named by their channel/owner/artist/instrument
• specify the naming rules only once per recorder and setup in a simple graphical user interface
• make corrections to naming rules where necessary
• do it on pc/mac/linux

I have so often suffered from having to copy and name numerous files manually after three day session weekends recorded on two cascaded Zoom R-16s (2 x 4 stereo channels up to 2 x 8 mono channels), I decided to begin to write this tool. I am going to implement storage device support for the recording devices I use and realize the most easy to use GUI for the task I can implement.

For starters these will be:

• Zoom R-16
• Zoom H4
• Zoom H4n

You can contribute to the project in many ways:

• download, build and test it, then comment your suggestions, post feature request and bugs
• review the code and suggest improvements
• provide tips and experiences for use on other platforms than Windows that I might have overlooked
• provide small example file structures from devices you would like to see supported
• contribute code for storage device recognition, identification of projects and audio files
• provide translations to other languages

Ah, one note: I am in not in any way affiliated with Zoom Corp. and this software is not an official Zoom product. I like and use their recording solutions, but I really would like to support other devices as well. I just do not own any.

Cheers and happy recording
