Thinking again on what you said about audio clips not carrying audio...Shinyless wrote:Consolidating is way different from that, as it's a render. All clips are in RAM, yes, but they don't carry any audio, they need to be processed, and faster than actual audio playback.Madma wrote:+ I've noticed that all these teasers IL showed us (especially Scott's video about the 'Consolidate' feature) are always a result of a mixer track export. I understand Shinyless' real time recording, obviously it has to be like that, but why 'Consolidate' too? How is that Ableton's 'Consolidate' is so quick? There's definitely something different between the two and I don't get why FL cannot have a "consolidate" feature as quick as Ableton's.
I mean, why if all audio clips are stored in RAM it is not possible to instantly consolidate different clips, merge audio clips, merge anything to a new file without the need to render it?
And how can you tell if the FL's consolidate feature is slow ? It hasn't been released yet
If those don't carry audio, then why it is so difficult to merge them visually?
A merged audio clip would "simply" carry the info of two different clips (audio samples) one playing right after the other. Just two sample relative playback time informations joined together. The "only" problem would be to make them look as one.
