When the export is initiated you choose the format of the output.
Export to File: Enter the path and file name that you wish to create. This defaults to the sessions "export" folder.
Click "Browse" to see a file browser and navigate to a different folder.
Format:
• Channels: Stereo or mono.
• File Type: Format of the resulting files (the list
depends on the system's available options). For CD-
quality, choose WAV
• Sample Format: The “32-bit” setting means 32-bit
integer format. This is ultra-high resolution but does not
accommodate signals over 0dBFS. The "float" setting is
32-bit floating point which accommodates signals over
0dBFS which is preferred in most cases. For CD-quality
audio choose 16-bit.
• Sample Endianness: This is only enabled if the file
format allows a choice. Choose Little Endian or Big
Endian (PowerPC).
• Sample Rate: For CD-quality audio choose 44.1kHz.
• Conversion Quality: This is only enabled if the export
sample rate is not the same as the session. The setting
"best" is recommended.
• Dither Type: None, Rectangular, Shaped Noise, or Triangular. The "None" or "Shaped" settings are recom-
mended.
• CD Marker File Type: CUE & TOC. These file types may be utilized by CD-burning software to define track
indexes, track names, and other metadata.
Specific Tracks: You can also export the output from a single track (the "direct out" of the track/bus). This operates
the same way as the master output. The output of the tracks should be assigned to one or both sides of the export
file.
The black bar at the bottom of the window is the progress indicator.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Before exporting, you must choose which bus/track outputs will go to the audio file. In
most cases, you will send the master out:1 to Left, and the master out:2 to Right as shown above. You must
click the boxes for this to work. If the "Channels" selection is set to Mono then there is a single column called
"export". In this case you should assign both out-1 and out-2 to the "export" and they will be summed.
