To Export a Project in MP3 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.
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 an extra measure
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 MP3 from the Files of type dropdown list.
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.
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.
10. In the Channel Format field, select one of the following options:
• Stereo—All exported tracks and clips are mixed down to a stereo file or
files.
• Mono—All exported tracks and clips are mixed down to a mono file or
files.
• Split Mono—All exported tracks and clips are mixed down to separate
mono files.
11. Choose the sample rate that you want your exported file to be.
12. In the Bit Depth field, select 16. If your source file is 24 and you export to 16,
you lose some sound definition, but you get some of it back if the Dithering
option is on in the Audio Options dialog box (see “Dithering” on page 468 for
more information).
