Hi Mark :)

does you example ignore bad start IDs for the CD tracks? So, if there
are 5 IDs for the CD, will it become 2 files or 10 files?

I'll see what happens, when doing it ;).

Thanx,

Ralf


PS: In your example you already included the -B switch, so my question
seems to be redundant ;).

As a Qtractor user (because of MIDI) I right now noticed that Ardour has
a smart solution for panning, instead of the balance, when using stereo
tracks :). But I need to have panning + separated faders, resp. panning
+ balance. Is there a way to handle this by Ardour or should I rip with
the '(-B) -alltracks, -bulk record each track into a seperate file'
option?

Stereo-tracks do also have some advantages ;), but I guess I could
answer my own question and prefer 2 mono tracks in this case.
