<SOLVED> Problem Exporting Using Tags

[William W. Saunders, Jr.]

Hi Folks,

Whenever I try to export a mix using the tag “{trackname},” I always get the name of the first track in the project, never the track I am exporting (which is always the last track). 

If I try to export it using the tag “{clipname},”  I always get the name “. wav”   In both instances, the track and clip names are the same.

I’m attaching a couple of screenshots that show this. I only want track 42 and it is the only one selected and solo'd, with all others being unselected and muted. 

Is anybody else having the same problem?  What am I missing here? 

Thanks,

Bill Saunders

It looks like you didn’t select a preset. Try the clips or the tracks options and choose the track you want. It should export that track using the name shown on the checklist

I had this problem too, and was successfully resolved in the latest update.

Worth trying!

Thanks, guys.  I am already patched up to 2021.11 Update 1.  I've tried the presets before but not since the update so I'll give it a go.

I figured it out.  I thought the name to be given to the exported track would show up under the tag window (see below).  It actually exports correctly even though it doesn't show the actual correct track name beforehand.

 

 

Thanks,

Bill

The item circled in yellow is just an example of a file name generated by the entry immediately above it.

Given multiple files may be created on export, no attempt is made to show exactly what file(s) are created by the export process.

Got it.  Thanks.  When I saw that I just got frustrated and manually named the track - never bothering to actually try the export until recently.
