You may choose several formats if you wish. The RealAudio 2.0 formats are good
for backwards compatibility with older players and for 14.4 Kb capability. The
remaining formats let you choose Mono or Stereo playback. Stereo formats trade
bandwidth for stereo, so use these only when the stereo aspect is important.
To Export Audio to Wave File Format
1. Set all volume, pan, effects, and automation settings just as you want them.
2. If you only want to mix down parts of tracks, select those clips now. If you don’t
select anything, everything’s selected.
3. If you are using effects on the tracks and want to mix the effects down at this
time, select the whole length of the longest track or clip plus extra time for the
reverb or effects “tail.”
4. Choose File-Export-Audio to open the Export Audio dialog box.
5. Select a destination folder using the Look In field.
6. Enter a file name.
7. Choose one of the following from the Files of type dropdown list:
• Riff Wave—choose this if you want to export a standard wave file, or if
you’re exporting a surround project in wave format.
• Broadcast Wave—choose this if you want to create a Broadcast Wave file
(see description below).
8. In the Source Category field, select one of the following options:
• Tracks—Choosing this option creates a separate file for each track that
you select in the Source Buses/Tracks field.
• Buses—Choosing this option creates a separate file for each bus that you
select in the Source Buses/Tracks field.
• Main Outputs—Choosing this option creates a separate file for each main
output that you select in the Source Buses/Tracks field.
• Entire Mix—Choosing this option creates one file for your entire mix,
unless you’re exporting a surround mix with Split Mono selected in the
Channel Format field.
9. In the Source Buses/Tracks field, choose the buses or tracks you want to use as
a source to create your mix. If you chose Tracks in the Source Category field,
only tracks will show up as choices in this field.
