Using the Session Track Overviews as a map, the topmost track will be track 1, the one below it is
track 2, and so on.
$tracknum[.n]$
numbers all tracks shown in the Session Track Overview, whether they are Record-
Armed or not. In cases where not all tracks are armed for any given take, the recorded track numbers
will have gaps in their sequence, but they will always match the same source audio and
$track$
name from the Mixer.
$filenum[.n]$
is similar to
$tracknum[.n]$
, but counts only the files actually being recorded.
Note: Plain text inserted in the ‘Template’ fields (outside of the token variables) will be applied to
the foldername or filename as entered.
Spaces are allowed in folder and filenames, but keep in mind that some internet transmission sys-
tems, media ingestion systems and computer file systems have different opinions of how to handle
spaces and uncommon characters. It is a good habit to use underscores ( _ ) or hyphens ( - ) instead
of spaces to head off any file-reading issues down the road.
Figure 14.21: Name Templates script example
Above is an example of the
Take Folder Name Template
and
‘Audio File Name Template’
scripts in
action. You can see the text from the ‘Project’, ‘Engineer’ and ‘Song’ fields were referenced by the
$project$, $engineer$ and $song$ tokens in the
Take Folder Name Template
and have been copied
to the folder name. The underscores between the tokens and the word "Take-" (with the hyphen)
were manually typed in.
In this example, the number of digits to represent take numbers was set to 3:
$take.3$
so there is
a leading 0 before the take number 17. The use of track names, date and time of day are shown
in the file names.
