Hi everyone!
Massy, I don't use tat, but speaking in terms of Ecasound chainsetups it
shouldn't be too bad to implement. As you have shown with your typical call to
Ecasound, all the necessary bits are in place.
Currently I'm learning for a course in usability engineering. Quoting one of
those guidelines and rulesets (well in variations it appears in a couple of
them): Do what the user expects. I suppose, one could expect, that stereo
tracks get mixed down to mono, if you set the Master to mono. This is - from
the point of programming - deviating behaviour and in that nasty, since it
means having extra cases there, but from the point of a user, this is what
they'd expect.
Thinking one step further: I suppose this holds true for all bus mixtracks
and Mixdown. So Master, Mixdown and anything, that is fed via a loop device
automatically. Will inserts have to be considered as well? Probably not, since
they are hard bound to a track already and get their channel count from there.
Sorry, I'm so out of it these days, really out of it. To be honest, right
now, I don't know, when I will drop back in. It's neither disregard nor
disinterest. There's just so much nonsense happening all over the place. I
really don't know, when it will let off.
Warm regards and happy easter
Julien
