Labeled tracks not being exported [SOLVED]

Post by jvinton » Wed May 06, 2015 9:05 am

I'm using 2.1.0 on Win 7 x64. I'm ripping old vinyl and have been labeling the tracks. When using File > Export Multiple... each track was being saved as individual files (flac or wav). Has been working well for a few weeks.

Something has changed. Now, Export Multiple is exporting all the labelled tracks as a single file. I probably inadvertently did something to cause this but I don't recall making any changes. I don't want to start mucking around in Preferences before I understand what is the cause. I've looked but I don't see anything odd.

Anyone have an idea of how to fix this?

If you have more than one label track, only the uppermost label track is respected for Export Multiple.

>> more than one label track, only the uppermost

I'm missing something. Yesterday, when I labeled six tracks (Ctl-B or -M), Export Multiple would create six files. Today, when I label six tracks, Export Multiple creates only one file. How do I get back to making a file for each label?

If all of the labels are in the same label track, then all labeled regions should be exported.
If you have two or more "label tracks", then only the labels in the first label track are used.

Yes, there was a second label track. I was above the audio track and mostly collapsed. I have no idea why or even how I added it. Removing it solved the export problem. Thank you for your help.
