Edit ID3 Tag
Opens the Setup ID3 Tag dialog that allows you to enter information about the le.
This information is embedded in the le and can be displayed by most MP3 playback
applications.
FLAC Files
Free Lossless Audio Codec les are audio les that are typically 50 % to 60 % smaller than regular
Wave
les.
To open the settings for FLAC les, select FLAC in the File Type pop-up menu.
Sample Rate
Sets the sample rate for the mixdown le.
NOTE
If you set the value lower than the project sample rate, the audio quality degrades
and the high-frequency content is reduced. If you set the value higher than the
project sample rate, the le size increases without increasing the audio quality. For
CD burning, select 44.100 kHz, because this is the sample rate used on audio CDs.
Bit Depth
Allows you to select a bit depth for the mixdown le. You can select 8 bit, 16 bit,
24 bit, 32 bit, 32 bit oat, or 64 bit oat. If you plan to re-import the mixdown le into
Cubase, select 32 bit oat. This is the resolution used for audio processing in Cubase.
32 bit
(oat) les are twice the size of 16 bit les. For CD burning, use the 16 bit option,
as CD audio is always 16 bit. In this case, we recommend dithering.
Export as
Allows you to select a channel mode for the mixdown le:
Interleaved
Allows you to export to an interleaved le.
Split Channels
Allows you to export the 2 channels of a stereo bus as separate mono les.
Mono Downmix
Allows you to downmix the 2 channels of a stereo bus to a single mono le.
Compression Level
Sets the compression level for the FLAC le. Since FLAC is a lossless format, the level
has more
inuence on the encoding speed than on the le size.
Ogg Vorbis Files
Ogg Vorbis is an open source, patent-free audio encoding and streaming technology, offering
compressed audio les of small size, but with comparatively high audio quality. Ogg Vorbis les
have the extension .ogg.
To open the settings for Ogg Vorbis les, select OggVorbis in the File Type pop-up menu.
Quality
Sets the quality for the variable bit rate encoding. This setting determines between
which limits the bit rate will vary. The higher the value, the higher the sound quality but
also the larger the
les.
