Export Audio dialog
Select File > Export > Audio to open the Export Audio dialog box. This command lets you export
your projects as Wave, MP3 files, and other types of formats.
The dialog box has the following fields:
Look in
Shows the folder to which you are exporting your audio. Browse your available drives to choose a
different directory.
Below the Look in field is a list of the selected folder's contents.
File name
Enter a name for the file you are creating.
Files of type
Select from one of the following export formats:
• Wave. The standard digital audio format used under Windows and for CD’s, with a file extension
of .wav.
• Broadcast Wave (time-stamped). A wave file with the following embedded information:
• Description. A brief description of the contents of the Broadcast wave. Limited to 256
characters.
Note: If you select any data in your project, only that data is included when you choose to export
audio. Alternatively, you can mute tracks or buses you don’t want to include in the mixdown, and
then check Track Mute/Solo or Bus Mute/Solo in the Mix Enables field so that SONAR uses
that information as a guide when picking what data to include in the exported file. If a project is
using any effects that add a “tail” to the end of an audio track, such as reverb or delay, then you
should make sure that you select extra time in the time ruler at the end of the current selection
before using the File > Export Audio command. This ensures that the “tail” is included in the
audio mixdown.
