Exporting
Now that you have your project mixed, you can export it so that you can send it to
others, burn it to a CD, or listen to it on your iPod.
• Load the project “Mixing 9” found in the “Sequel Tutorial 3” folder.
Exporting Audio Files
1. To export your project in a different format, open the Project menu and select
“Export Project as Audio File”.
2. A dialog opens, where you can choose an export location and a file name. Click in
the field to the right, select a destination, and name the file “First Mixdown”.
Choosing the project folder is recommended so that your file is not erased or lost
accidentally.
3. Use a bit depth of 16 bit, common for CD burning.
24 bit give a higher audio quality, but the file also uses up more hard-disk space.
4. When you are finished selecting all of your settings, click Export to begin exporting
the file.
The progress bar along the bottom shows the progress.
• Load the project “Mixing 10” found in the “Sequel Tutorial 3” folder.
Exporting MP3 Files
Using advanced audio compression algorithms, MP3 files can be made very small, yet
maintaining good audio quality.
Sequel provides a function for exporting your projects as MP3 files. This function is
limited to 20 trial encodings or a period of 30 trial days from the installation date,
whichever comes first. After this period, the function is disabled until you purchase the
MP3 encoder for Sequel.
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
takes you to Steinberg’s online shop where you can purchase the upgrade. Note that
a working internet connection is required.
Ö
Normally you will save your exported file as a Wave file. This is the most universally
compatible file type for audio. If the application you need the file for demands a
different format, you can choose one from the pop-up menu.
