Saving and exporting files
Save audio files individually

plan to use the file. Keep in mind that each format stores unique information that might be discarded if you save a
file in a different format.
1 Do one of the following:
• To save changes in the current file, choose File > Save.
• To save changes under a different filename, choose File > Save As.
• To save a copy of the current file while leaving the original version open and active, choose File > Save Copy As.
• To save currently selected audio as a new file, choose File > Save Selection.
• To save all open files in their current formats, choose File > Save All.
The Save Selection command is useful for saving small segments of a larger file. For example, you can use this
command to break up a long recording into smaller, more manageable tracks.
2 Choose a location for the file, type a file name, and choose a file format. (See “About audio file formats” on
page 244.)
3 Depending on the format you choose, additional options might be available. To view format-specific options, click
Options.
4 Select Save Extra Non-Audio Information to preserve markers and file information, such as loop and Broadcast
Wave metadata.
Note: Deselect this option only when you will use another application to burn the file to CD. Some CD-recording appli-
cations misinterpret non-audio information (such as markers and metadata), producing an unpleasant burst of noise at
the beginning of each track.
5 Click Save.

Save a group of audio files to one format
In either Edit View or Multitrack View, you can quickly save a group of open audio files to one format with the Save
All Audio As command. This command automatically creates filenames from file information such as Artist, Album,
and Song, providing a particularly efficient way to save groups of extracted CD tracks.
1 Choose File > Save All Audio As.
