3 In the Export Selected dialog, set the File Type,
Format, Bit Depth, and Sample Rate. In addition,
specify the Conversion Quality, and choose the
Destination Directory.
When you export regions to a lower bit depth,
Dither (with or without Noise Shaping) is ap-
plied as shown in Table 16.
The Dither used for any conversion is the
Digidesign Dither plug-in (with or without
Noise Shaping enabled, as noted in Table 16).
4 If you are exporting to an 8-bit file, enable the
Use Squeezer option. This optimizes the dynam-
ics of the exported audio by preprocessing it us-
ing compression, limiting, and gating before
conversion to 8-bit resolution (for more infor-
mation, see “Use Squeezer” on page 968).
5 Select an option for how Pro Tools should re-
solve duplicate file names.
Prompting for Each Duplicate Prompts you for a
file name for any file that has the same name as
a file in your destination directory.
Auto Renaming Automatically changes the
name of any duplicate file by adding a number
at the end of the file name (such as file_01).
Replacing with New Files Replaces files with the
same name with the new files.
6 Click Export to export the new audio files.
