Tutorial 4: Mixing and Effects
3. The “Export Audio Mixdown” dialog opens.
This dialog is described in detail in the chapter “Export Audio Mixdown” in
the “Operation Manual”. Please refer to this for more complete information.
4. “File Name” is for naming the file for export. Let’s name
our’s “Mixing Mixdown”.
5. The “Path” is where you wish to save the exported file
on your computer. Use the “Choose” button to navigate to
the folder you wish to save to. For convenience there is
the option “Use Project Audio Folder” which will store the
exported file in your project’s audio folder. This is one of
the best places to keep it so it won’t accidentally become
erased or lost. Make sure “Use Project Audio Folder” is
activated for this export.
6. Normally you’ll want to save your exported file as a
“Wave File” under “File Format”. This of course chiefly de-
pends on what file format the other application such as a
CD burning program requires.
7. Choose the main stereo outputs “Stereo Out (Ste-
reo)” for export.
The exported file will be generated through the main stereo outputs that
we see in the Mixer.
8. Choose the “Sample Rate” and “Bit Depth” that will
be required for your export. 44.100 kHz and 16 bit are
common for CD burning.
9. Activate the three options at the bottom of the dialog,
as these will import the audio back into Cubase AI after
you export it and automatically create an audio track. The
“Export Audio Mixdown” window will also close after ex-
port.
10. When you are done making all the settings, click the
Export button.
11. You will now see the exported stereo mix on a new
stereo track.
12. You can check to see if the audio mixdown sounds the
way you want it by soloing the mixdown track.
