Converting Your Soft Synth Tracks to Audio
7. In the Source/Buses field, choose the output bus(es) that the soft synth
tracks are using (usually the main outputs).
8. In the Mix Enables field, make sure all choices are selected.
9. Click OK.
SONAR creates new audio tracks from the outputs you selected. When
you’re through converting, don’t forget to mute your MIDI tracks so you
won’t hear them and the new audio track(s) at the same time.
Note: you control the bit depth of all rendering operations (bouncing,
freezing, applying effects) on the Audio Data tab of the Global Options
dialog (Options-Global command) in the Render Bit Depth field. The
default value of 32 is the best for most situations. See Bit Depths for
Rendering Audio for more information.
To Export Your Soft Synth Tracks as Wave, MP3, or
Other Type Files
1. Mute all tracks that you don’t want to export; make sure you don’t mute
the synth track or the audio track that the soft synth is patched into, or
the MIDI track(s) that you are using as a source.
2. Use the File-Export-Audio command.
The Export Audio dialog box appears.
3. In the Look in field, choose the location where you want the new,
exported file to be.
4. Type a file name in the File name field.
5. Choose the type of file, the format, and the bit depth of the new file
you’re creating—for MP3 use 16 bits.
6. In the Mix Enables field, make sure all choices are selected.
7. Click OK.
SONAR creates a new audio file of the type you specified. Find the file in
the folder you specified, and double-click it to listen to it.
