Export Audio Mixdown
Audio Engine Output
NOTE
Activating this option creates a Broadcast Wave file. Some applications may not be able
to handle Broadcast Wave files. If you get problems using the file in another application,
deactivate Insert Broadcast Wave Chunk and export the file again.
2 Edit
Opens the Broadcast Wave Chunk dialog where you can enter embedded information.
3 Insert iXML Chunk
Includes additional project-related metadata, such as project name, author, and project
frame rate.
4 Insert Tempo Definition
This option is only available if Insert iXML Chunk is activated. It allows you to include
tempo information from the tempo track in the iXML chunk of the exported files.
Audio Engine Output
The Audio Engine Output section contains all the settings related to the output of the Cubase
audio engine.
1 Sample Rate
NOTE
This parameter is only available for uncompressed audio file formats and FLAC files.
Allows you to select the frequency range of the exported audio. 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 file size increases
without increasing the audio quality. For CD burning select 44.100 kHz, because this is the
sample rate used on audio CDs.
2 Bit Depth
NOTE
This parameter is only available for uncompressed audio file formats and FLAC files.
Allows you to select 8, 16, 24-bit or 32-bit (float) files. If you plan to re-import the mixdown
file into Cubase, select 32-bit (float). This is the resolution used for audio processing in
Cubase. 32 bit (float) files are twice the size of 16-bit files. For CD burning, use the 16-
bit option, as CD audio is always 16 bit. In this case, we recommend dithering. Cubase
Elements only:Activating the UV-22HR dithering plug-in reduces the effects of quantization
noise and artifacts when converting the audio to 16 bit. 8-bit resolution results in limited
audio quality and should only be used if required.
3 Real-Time Export
Allows you to export the mixdown file in real time. This takes at least the same time as
regular playback. Some VST plug-ins, external instruments, and effects require real-time
export in order to have enough time to update correctly during the mixdown. Consult the
plug-in manufacturers for further information.
