Wow, it's really comprehensive.

Thanks!!!

You've reminded me of some features I'd forgotten and others I didn't even know about (like modifying the record/mute/solo switching in multi-track selection with Shift+Control).

It also demonstrates how powerful and capable our beloved DAW is.

Just one tip: to control clip, add a limiter plugin at the end of the master chain and set its output to -1dB. (Calf Limiter is my favorite).

This only works for rendering while recording in real time (like you did, for example, recording the system audio output, which only played the master bus).

When you use export and select multiple buses, the outputs of each bus are exported together, making it impossible to prevent clipping. The only thing you can do in this case is set the audio format to 32-bit and then use the normalize clip function. But the sum of the different buses will NEVER correspond to the mix, since in the mix, parallel and serial transmissions are made at different levels, all converging on the Master, which is the true sum, not a new element to be added.

The Qtractor exporter was never prepared to mix buses... maybe someday. :)

I tried to set jackd into freewheeling mode to record a song in faster-than-realtime but with no luck. In theory this should work or I misunderstood the concept.

I tried it once with PipeWire and the Cadence recorder, which has a "freewheel?" box for that very purpose, but it didn't work either.
