I'd like the option to record the audio from each instrument in the engine to separate files rather than just the master. I could then load the audio for each 'track' into my daw and make changes there that I can not do in the synfire engine.
Whilst I could use drones in my daw to achive this, I am starting to apprieciate the simplicity of using the engine, it really does allow a workflow that is free of the interuptions I get when trying to use both (and saves a lot of cpu cycles).
In the engine i can use all my soft synths, complete with automation. I can add a lot of effects both inline and return. I do miss sidechaining. However Id still like to finish the track off in my daw, add polish if you like. Being able to work with all the separate audio tracks in the daw would be fantastic for final mix down and mastering.
I have tried using the relocate to daw function but am suffering two issues, firstly some of my instruments can only be loaded once and synfire seems to try load them in the daw before releasing them from the engine. The second issue is that I take a hit on CPU usage running the daw and synfire together.
thanks
