Looks like a nice project, would love to see some outcomes Scott if you up
for sharing tings like this.....
I was planning on using mmcwilliams processing scripts to print out
discrete frames onto paper (24 per second) from test audio sources that
would probably be wavs. I was then going to photograph each strip into the
soundtrack area using gates wide enough to cover this, for 16 a super 16
gate, for 35mm a full gate. (using punched paper...)
Theres a really good section in Donald McWilliams Animated musician film
about Norman McLarens projects where you see him doing this with waveform
cards, and making multiple exposures for each frame to produce 'chords'.
https://www.nfb.ca/film/norman_mclaren_animated_musician/
As someone mentioned before this would leave you with frame line 'gaps'
which would produce some kind of noise, but predictable enough to possibly
filer it out with hardware. Im not sure how this problem manifests in
McLarens films if at all...
take care.

Hi Francisco, no my original post was to take an audio source (WAV or MP3,
or direct audio from a mic or line in) and convert it to an optical track.
This could either be exposed directly onto 35mm film (in the optical track
area) using a device that labs use, or generate a digital image that I
could print onto the film using a 35mm film recorder that I have.

Subject: Re: [Frameworks] optical soundtrack generator?
so the original poster idea is to convert the optical sound track into an
image that could be printed on the frame area to be projected as a whole
image as we listen to the sound? is that it?

Agfa will manufacture this stock if they get a big enough order, like
every single (exp) film maker in the world ordering 2000ft? Why not,
now is the age to achieve such a feat..
For a long time I ran Agfa ST-8 through the sound cameras, but that
has become difficult to find. That's also a polyester base.
I would not worry too much about running the new polyester film
stocks in a well-maintained Bolex.
