Yes, instead of mixdown to the Mixdown track (which I
had suggested) track caching freezes the effects by writing
the track effects-processed output to a file name same as
the track with an incremented index (e.g. first_song_2.wav)

A region is just a track that has a start-point, end-point,
and can take a play-at delay parameter as well.

Nama uses Marks to define these points. There is some
question regarding whether there are situations that marks
should move with a given track. (We already have marks
moving as part of the offset-run mode.)

What would drive those concerns would be a design to break
up a track into regions, with the audio corresponding to
each newly defined region being faded out of the mother
track, something Nama doesn't do for us now.

If a fade in occurs at 00:25, does it get carried along
with a newly created region that runs from 00:23 to 00:27 ?  Ack, probably
not. :-)

But there could be envelopes that we would want to move with
the region, if the user adjusts the play-at delay.

Cheers,

Joel
