Wonderful! Are there any other such variables already available? This
could facilitate macro building. For instance, if we had $project_name
and $trackversion variables we could have something like this (beware,
fake syntax):
export {
! lame --preset 192 $thiswav $1/$projectname${trackversion}.mp3
}
nama> mixdown export /tmp/
Then you'd get something like greathit5.mp3 in your /tmp directory.
Cheers,
S.M.
