Hello Joel!
I'm certainlyfine with the method youdescribe. I have no problems, with the
tracks belonging to a bus being still set to mon, off or whatever. I will have
to check, but there's always "set" and "stat". But ifstat is OFF, that would
look good enough I suppose. Another alternative could be to "hide" the tracks,
but that again might guarantee some confusion.
I can't exactly remember, whywe didn't cache effects of a bus track? Was it,
so we first had just a mixdown track and then could twiddle the global
effects, without having to process all the rest?
An idea strikes me: another command doing, what cache currently does on
mixtracks. bus_mix mix_bus (mxb). this command would only work on bus-tracks
still set to rec and rec_defeat. Then there could be the cache_track, which
would do its normal magic caching effects and everything. Both commands would
put data into a cache map, since in a way it is similar. That way we would
have consistency again and still both features. This would mean some redundant
code. Unless the current cache_track function couldbe changed in that way,
that it also allows just mixing a track down to disk. Then it could be renamed
to something like intenal_cache_track. Then two wrapper functions could call
it internally. Cache_bus would call the internal cache function in such a way,
that it doesn't take effects into the cached version. The "external"
cache_track function could call the internal cache function with its normal
parameters, so effects, inserts and/or whatever would be rendered to disk as
well.
Question, when thinking about that: how difficult would it be to change the
current cache_track function to allow for a "blank" caching? If that's too
difficult, then there's still the choice of mainly coptying the code and
modify it to deal with bus_mix_tracks in this way.
Thinking aloud yours
