MP3 Export
This version of Cubase provides a function for exporting your audio mixdown as
MP3 files. This function is limited to 20 trial encodings or a trial period of 30 days
from the installation date (whichever ends first). After this period, the function will
be disabled until you purchase the MP3 encoder for Cubase.
• When the MP3 format is selected and you click the Export button, a window
opens showing you how many trial encodings you have left. You can upgrade
to an unlimited MP3 export function by clicking the “Go to Online Shop”
button in the dialog.
This will take you to Steinberg’s online shop where you can purchase the
upgrade. Note that a working internet connection is required.
AIFF files
AIFF stands for Audio Interchange File Format, a standard defined by Apple Inc.
AIFF files have the extension .aif and are used on most computer platforms. For AIFF
files the following options are available:
Insert Broadcast Wave Chunk
This allows you to include information about the date and time of creation, a
timecode position (allowing you to insert exported audio at the correct
position in other projects, etc.) along with author, description, and reference
text strings in the exported file. Some applications may not be able to handle
files with embedded info – if you get problems using the file in another
application, deactivate the option and re-export.
