Hi there, new to this (both Reddit and group) so forgive me if this has been a thing that's already been hammered out. But...

I love the idea of this. I work to tape nearly all the time in the real world with brand new artists doing their first recordings all the way up to major label projects. I track bands live to tape, and I mix electronic music through tape, so I totally get the ethos behind this and the way the DAW has been made, and I love it.

However, I don't see any option for exporting the 16 tracks as a set of wav multitracks to be used in another DAW. When I work to tape I always end up with a digital version of the multitrack, to not only save on tape costs, but because in the modern world I have to provide the artists and labels with stems and alternate mixes (accapella, instrumentals) on every project with absolutely no negotiations. Universal won't even pay me until that's delivered.

Obviously, if I'm right in my understanding that there is no multitrack export, then unfortunately, this will prohibit this app from being used in a truly professional environment. Which would be such a massive shame as I'd definitely use it on writing sessions with certain artists!

I'm sure it could be easily added in the bounce section and you could choose to have all the tape effect on the exports or not! Either way, I'll likely grab a copy of this for my own experiments and noodles. Love what you've made here. The more human the better in this crazy world!!

Hope I'm not wrong! That would be embarrassing 🤣

Edit: I saw the post detailing how to find the audio files. However, I'm guessing that this still doesn't deal with exporting the individual tracks with the tape effect on! This would be great as committing to the sound is also half the fun
