Options
In the "Options" section you can set the format and the compression of the
audio file.
Bit rate: The "Bit rate" selection specifies the level of compression: The higher
the bit rate, the higher the quality of the exported audio file. On the other hand,
the bit rate determines the final file size: The smaller the bit rate, the smaller
the files.
Mono/Stereo/5.1 Surround: Most mobile devices have only one loudspeaker.
To save memory, you can also export in mono. In 5.1 Surround mode (see
Mixer in Surround mode (view page 270)) you can also export in MP3
Surround.
Note: Before you can use the MP3 encoder for MP3 Surround, you will have to
activate it first. Activation is fee-based! For more information, read the Activate
additional functions (view page 333) chapter.
Normalize: This function should always be activated. It guarantees that the
music is not too loud/overmodulated or too quiet.
Shortcut: Shift + M
Audio as Ogg Vorbis
"OGG Vorbis" is a
license-free open source audio codec with very good sound
characteristics for comparably small files – similar to the MP3 file format.
In the settings under "Advanced" you can still choose from three various
encoder modes and bit rate. Set quality. Constant bit rate enables streaming
and maximum compatibility; with variable bit rate a better audio quality with the
same size files can be achieved.
