Export Audio dialog
raw data in the tracks is used, and the pan is C, or centered.
• Clip Automation. If you don’t check this option, any clip automation, including any trim
settings, is ignored when creating the new file(s).
• Bus Automation
• FX Automation
• Track FX. If you don’t check this option, any effects patched into various tracks’ patch points,
including any plug-in synthesizers patched into track fx patch points, are ignored when
creating the new file(s).
• Bus FX. If you don’t check this option any effects in buses are ignored when creating the audio
file.
• Fast Bounce. When checked SONAR exports audio as fast as your computer allows. If
unchecked, SONAR exports audio in realtime. Uncheck this option if you are using a synth that
works only in realtime. This option is checked by default.
• Audible bounce. The Audible bounce option is only available when in real-time bounce mode
(when Fast Bounce is unchecked). When Audible bounce is unchecked, no audio output will be
heard during the bounce process. When in real-time bounce mode (Fast Bounce unchecked) and
Audible bounce is enabled, you can hear the output of the mixdown.
• 64-bit Engine. If you don’t usually run SONAR in 64-bit mode in order to save CPU, you can
turn 64-bit mode on when you export audio by enabling this check box. Remember to turn it off
after you export your audio, if you don’t want to use it during tracking or mixing.
Add to Audio CD Track List
Check the Add to Audio CD Track List option when you export audio as a 16-bit, 44,100 Hz stereo
Wave file (.wav). The Audio CD Burner dialog box appears with the Wave file pre-loaded in the
Track list.
Send with Gobbler
Select this option if you want to share the exported audio on the cloud-based Gobbler service. The
Gobbler Media Delivery dialog box appears after the audio has been exported. For details, see
“Sharing and backing up your projects on Gobbler” on page 1089.
For more information, see:
“Mixing” on page 879
“To mix down (bounce) audio tracks” on page 958
“Converting your soft synth tracks to audio” on page 864
Note: Depending on the gainstages used in the project and the mixdown options selected–such
as bouncing with source category assigned to Tracks, or with mute/solo or automation disabled
in the bounce settings or while freezing tracks–the output may be louder or softer than during
normal playback. Please be sure to turn down the master output level before using real-time
audible bounce under these scenarios to avoid the possibility of speaker damage.
