Which Signal Will Be Rendered?
The Rendered Track
Chooser.
The Export dialog's Rendered Track chooser offers several options for which audio signal to
render:
 Master  the post-fader signal at Live's Master output. If you are monitoring the Master
output, you can be sure that the rendered le will contain exactly what you hear.
 All tracks  the post-fader signal at the output of each individual track, including return
tracks and MIDI tracks with instruments. Live will create a separate sample for each
track. All samples will have the same length, making it easy to align them in other
multitrack programs.
 Individual tracks  the post-fader signal at the output of the selected track.
When Export Audio/Video is invoked while the Arrangement View is up, Live will render the
selected time range.
If you would like to render the current Arrangement loop, choose the Select Loop command
from the Edit menu prior to choosing Export Audio/Video. If you choose Export Audio/
Video while the Session View is up, Live will ask you to specify the length of the sample
to be rendered. The Export Audio/Video dialog will come up with a bars-beats-sixteenths
eld where you can type in the desired length. Live will capture audio starting at the current
play start position for whichever duration you have specied.
Remember  a rendered audio le contains only what you heard prior to rendering. So, for
example, if you're playing back some combination of Session View clips and Arrangement
material, then that is what will be captured in your rendered le  regardless of which view
is active when you render.
