Mixing Down to Audio Files
PROCEDURE
1. Set up the left and right locators to encompass the section that you want to mix down.
2. Set up your tracks so that they play back the way you want.
This includes muting unwanted tracks or parts, making manual MixConsole settings, and/
or activating the R (Read) automation buttons for MixConsole channels.
IMPORTANT
The setting of the Output Routing in the corresponding track Inspector determines the
channel width of the Export Audio Mixdown export. This means, if no main output bus is
selected, the exported audio file only contains silence.
3. Select File> Export> Audio Mixdown.
4. In the Export Audio Mixdown dialog, make your settings.
5. Click Export.
RESULT
The audio file is exported.
IMPORTANT
● If you set the export range in such a way that the effects that are applied to a preceding
event, for example reverb, reach into the next, these will be heard in the mixdown even
though the event itself is not included. To avoid this, mute the first event.
