TD-WAV-Cue-Importer
Introduction
Hey there, this is a little tool I thought could be useful when working with Audiofiles in TD. Could imagine especially for Audio & Visual Artists working together on non-realtime projects e.g. Music Videos - it could be handy to pass Timing Information, aswell as Comments from the DAWs Cues/Markers & Regions directly within the WAV File to the visual Artist without any extra files. (ofc given that the audio artists DAW is capable of exporting WAV Files with Marker Infos - e.g. Ableton sadly is not)
Description
Notes:
- Reaper exports all Markers and Regions in chronological order (as they are put temporally in the timeline)
- Cubase seems to export all Markers first, in chronological order, then it exports cycle markers, aswell in chronological order
- It doesnt make a difference for the usage as the tox is splitting the table into single point markers and loops/regions/cycles and assigns new index based on their chronological, temporal order per type, but thats why the cue_id might behave differently depending on the DAW used for export
2. Note that if e.g. in Reaper multiple Markers are created, they get assigned some Marker_Id which is also displayed as Name if not given specific name, you can move the markers then and change their order so that marker_id 2 would come before marker_id 1 in the timeline. This internal Marker_ID is not reflected in the cue_id that gets exported to the WAV file, the cue_id seems to get assigned as described above
3. There is a bug in the tox that would fill the table with huge number of items containing only 0s, it occurs only sometimes when trying to import cue metadata from a WAV file which doesn't include any metadata on cues
