[Ardour-Dev] Feature proposal: exporting to Auphonic

[Johannes Mueller]

Hi,

here at the Podlove Podcasting workshop raised the idea to implement support 
for Auphonic [1] into Ardour. Auphonic is an online mastering service for 
podcasts presentation or talks. You upload audio and later get the mastered 
result. For anything with a lot of speech it's a huge improvement on audio 
quality.

It would be similar to the Soundcloud upload feature. Before I start coding on 
that, I would like to ask your opinion on the following issue.

Podcasting features are all about convenience and simplification to the user. 
The workflows are repeating from episode to episode, so we'd like the software 
to remember as much as possible. Thus I'd like to make the export feature as 
"memorizing" as possible. Therefore we'd most probably need to add tags to the 
session's file format and even to the template format.

What is the policy on that?

We would add the username/password of Auphonic, production preset for Auphonic 
and settings which channels to upload to which track of the Auphonic 
production.

Would it be ok to add tags like that to the session file format and to the 
template data format?
 

Thanks ...

Johannes
