You can export selected tracks with a certain time range as audio files in the specified format.

• Rendered Track:

  • Master - export audio from the master track as one audio file.

  • Selected tracks - export selected tracks one by one as separated files.

  • All individual tracks - export all unmuted tracks one by one as separated files.

• Export without vocal effects: turn off all vocal effects when exporting.

• Export Range:

  • Whole Project - export the range of whole project, starting from the beginning, end at the last clip.

  • Loop - export the range of loop brace.

• Channels: This setting determines the number of audio channels in the exported file.

• Format: This option lets you choose the file type for your exported audio. Different formats have different characteristics regarding quality and file size.

• SampleRate: Sample rate refers to the number of audio samples captured per second. A higher sample rate can capture more detail and a wider frequency range, resulting in higher fidelity but a larger file size.

• Bit Depth: Bit depth determines the dynamic range of your audio—the difference between the quietest and loudest possible sounds. A higher bit depth provides a greater dynamic range and a lower noise floor.

For common music production scenarios:

• For Highest Quality (Mastering, Archiving, Distribution): For final masters or archiving your project, you need the best possible quality.

  Recommendation: .WAV, 44100 Hz/48000 Hz, 24 Bit.

• For Pesonal Listening & Sharing: For everyday use where file size is a consideration, MP3 is the standard.

  Recommendation: .MP3, 320 kbps.
