File Menu – Multitrack View
Save Mixdown As dialog
Here are the major components of the Save Mixdown As dialog.
Recent Folders This shows the most recently used folders. Select from the drop-down box to quickly navigate to a listing.
Save in Use this control to navigate through all available drives and folders.
File name Here’s where you specify the name of the file.
Save as type Use this control to choose the format you wish to save from the drop-down list of supported file types, such
as Windows PCM (*.wav) or MPEG 3 (*.mp3).
Some formats can’t be written to using waveforms of certain sample types. In this case, Adobe Audition asks you if you
want to convert before saving.
Adobe Audition also warns you if you’re trying to save a waveform to a compressed (lossy) format, and suggests that you
keep a backup of your original file if you wish to preserve full audio fidelity. If you don’t want to see this dialog box again,
check the Don’t display this message in the future box.
Save extra non-audio information Uncheck this box if you don’t want to save header fields such as copyright and author
information.
Note: If you plan to burn the waveform to compact disc using another program, unchecking the box is highly recommended.
Some CD recording interprets non-audio information incorrectly and will place an unpleasant burst of noise as the beginning
of each CD track.
Options Most audio file formats support various options. (See the “Waveform File Formats” chapter for more infor-
mation.) Press the Options button to bring up a window to select the desired settings.
If the format doesn’t have any options, the Options button is disabled (“grayed out”).
