Getting Started
Near the end of the spot, you may want to fade the music out. To do this:
YouÕve now automated your radio spot. Now letÕs listen to it again and
watch the faders move automatically:
Saving the Project
If youÕve been good, you've been saving your work all along. So far,
though, youÕve been saving the project as a normal Pro Audio project Þle
(with the extension .wrk). The normal Pro Audio Þle contains all the
projectÕs musical data, as well as screen layout and other project
information. However, this Þle does not contain the projectÕs digital
audio data, which is managed automatically by Pro Audio and stored in
a different location. By managing the digital audio data, Pro Audio is
able to store the data more efÞciently and save disk space. If you work
with large samples, this can be quite signiÞcant.
If you would like to send your Pro Audio project to other people, though,
you need to create a Þle containing all the projectÕs data, including the
digital audio data. Here are two ways to do it.
Saving the Project as a Bundle File
A Bundle Þle (with the extension .bun) is similar to a normal project Þle,
but it also contains the project's digital audio data. Bundle Þles must be
opened and played with Pro Audio. To save the project as a Bundle Þle,
do the following:
1. Grab any of the faders for the MIDI tracks and pull it down.
Because the faders are grouped, all will lower.
1. Rewind to the beginning.
2. To make sure the faders always show their current value, select
the Update option .
3. Press Play.
You’ll see the faders move just the way they moved when you recorded
their movements. When you’re done tweaking the mix, disable the
Record Automation button.
For more information about automation and the Console view, see
“Recording Automation Data” on page 9-25.
1. Choose
File-Save As
.
2. Choose Cakewalk Bundle from the Save as Type list.
