Export tracks and regions
Export tracks as audio files in Logic Pro
You can export one or more selected tracks as audio files, or export all tracks (all audio,
software instrument, and Drummer tracks) in a project as audio files—one file per track.
When you export tracks as audio files, you can specify the naming of the audio files using
filename elements.
Export selected tracks as an audio file
1. In Logic Pro, select the track to export, then choose File > Export > Track as Audio File.
2. Choose a file format for the exported audio file from the Save Format pop-up menu.
3. Choose the bit depth for the exported audio file from the Bit Depth pop-up menu.
4. Set the following parameters, as necessary:
Range: Choose whether to trim silence at the end of the exported file(s), export only
the cycle range, or extend silence to the project end.
Multi-Output Software Instruments: For software instrument tracks with multi-output
software instruments, choose one of the following options:
One File per Track: Mixes the multi-output signals with the main output into one
file, for each multi-output software instrument track. In situations where multiple
tracks use the same multi-output software instrument channel strip, one file is
created for each track.
One File per Channel Strip: Creates additional files for each aux channel strip that
has an output of the selected track’s multi-output software instrument as Input
source.
Bypass Effect Plug-ins: Select to disable all plug-ins on the source track.
Include Audio Tail: Select to extend the length of the created file to include any
instrument release and potential effect tail (reverb, delay, and so on).
Include Volume/Pan Automation: Select to have volume and pan automation
performed on export, with their result influencing the created file. Otherwise, the
volume and pan automation is simply copied, but not performed.
Note: If you plan to use the exported regions with an external app for processing,
mixing, or editing, exporting them with no volume and pan automation is generally
desirable.
Normalize: Choose one of the following options:
Off: The exported file is not normalized.
Overload Protection Only: Allows downward normalization in case of overloads—
levels above 0 dB, which would lead to clipping—but no normalization in case of
lower levels.
On: The exported file is normalized both for overloads and for Lowell levels.
5. Select the Add resulting files to Project Audio Browser checkbox to add the exported
file to the Project Audio Browser.
