Element Description
Loop Optimize Optimizes the exported audio file for use as a loop:
If Loop Optimize is disabled, the exported audio file will be prolonged to keep, e.g.,
the tail of a reverb. The end of the exported audio will always correspond to a bar
division.
If Loop Optimize is enabled, the exported audio file will have the exact range of the
Loop Range. Any effect tail will be rendered into the beginning of the audio file. Ad-
ditionally the file metadata will include the loop’s tempo (in BPM) and length (in
bars).
Sample Rate Selects from five different sample rates for the exported audio file(s): 44100 Hz
(this is the sample rate of the audio CD format), 48000 Hz, 88200 Hz, 96000 Hz,
and 192000 Hz.
Bit Depth Selects from three different bit depths (or bit resolutions) for the exported audio
file(s):
16 Bit is the bit depth of the audio CD format.
24 Bit is well suited for mastering.
32 Bit float is the bit depth used internally by MASCHINE’s audio processing en-
gine. Choose this setting if you plan to further process the exported audio using oth-
er high-end digital audio devices or applications that support this bit depth — using
this setting will allow greater headroom. However note that the exported files will be
significantly larger.
Names of the Exported Audio Files
The exported audio files are named according to following rules:
▪ If Master Output is selected in the Output menu the audio file will be named as follows:
[Project name] - [BPM].wav
▪ If Group Outputs is selected in the Output menu the audio files will be named as follows:
[Project name] - [Group order number] [Group index (letter + number)] [Group name] -
[BPM].wav
The Group order number is a two-digit number indicating the “order of appearance” of the
Group in the Group List. This ensures that an alphabetical listing of the exported files will
reflect the structure of your Project.
