Which Signal Will Be Rendered?
Render to Disk will always render the signal at Live's Master output. If you are monitoring
the Master output, you can be sure that the rendered le will contain exactly what you hear.
To export individual tracks, deactivate all tracks other than the ones you want to export by
turning off their Track Activator switches in the mixer.
When Render to Disk is invoked while the Arrangement View is up, Live will render the
selected time range.
If you would like to render the current Arrangement loop, choose the Select Loop command
from the Edit menu prior to choosing Render to Disk. Keep in mind that the selection of
tracks is irrelevant: The signal to be rendered is the Master output.
If you choose Render to Disk while the Session View is up, Live will ask you to specify the
length of the sample to be rendered. The Render to Disk dialog will come up with a bars-
beats-sixteenths eld where you can type in the desired length. Live will capture audio from
the Master output starting at the current play start position for whichever duration you have
specied.
Rendering Options
The Render to Disk command opens a dialog that offers several rendering options:
Normalize. If this is activated, the sample resulting from the render process will be
normalized (i.e., the le will be amplied so that the highest peak attains the maximum
available headroom).
Render as Loop. If this is activated, Live will create a sample that can be used as a
loop. For example, suppose your Live Set uses a delay effect. If Render as Loop is on,
Live will go through the rendering process twice: The rst pass will not actually write
