Export to Audio File
You can export your scores from Notion to digital audio les so anyone can listen to your composition.
WAV (.wav) and mp3 les are easily added to recordable CDs or ash drives, or to post on the Web or
send in an e-mail. Or, you can import the contents of audio les into a digital audio workstation.
Audio File Export
WAV les are uncompressed les that are relatively large but contain the most information about each
sound. Mp3 les are compressed les that are best for attaching to emails or sharing over the web.
Notion records all or part of your score very quickly, using the metronome marks in the score to determine
tempos. (If you want an audio le of an NTempo performance, complete a Tempo Overdub rst.)
1. Ensure you are in Edit mode.
2. If you want to export the whole score, proceed to the next step. If you want to record a part of your score, highlight
the measures (and staves) you want included.
» Only the highlighted areas will be recorded to the audio le; this can be as brief as one note by one instrument. In
the absence of highlights, the entire score will be recorded.
3. Either:
> Go to the Menu Bar and select File > Export Audio, or
> Press a keyboard shortcut: Windows: Shift + Ctrl + E; Mac: Shift +  + E.
» A dialog box opens.
4. Browse to the folder where you want to store this le.
5. Enter a le name.
6. Select required format (WAV or mp3) and bit depth
7. Choose whether you want to export one audio le from the master, from multiple audio les created from individual
buses, or from each instrument (bounce stems).
8. Click Save.
» The software creates an audio le, according to your requirements, very quickly.
Your .wav le is immediately available for use. Since you exported this information, your original Notion le is intact.
There’s Also .wav File Import
In addition to audio le export, you also have the option of WAV le import, where you bring
the contents of WAV les created in other programs into Notion. Details on how to incorporate
WAV les into your Notion compositions appear in Add WAV Files in Chapter 11.
Upload to Studio One™
Select File > Export Audio, then select
‘PreSonus Capture Session’ from the drop
down menu. Select a location and then
Notion will export the stems plus create a
Capture le in the same folder. Double click
this le, or drag and drop it onto Studio One.
Your stems will automatically be added to
a new project in Studio One, and include
information such as track name, volume,
pan and initial tempo and time signature.
Notion 6 also introduces new audio and note
data transfer to and from Studio One3 - either
on the same computer on anywhere on the
network. See the relevent chapter for more info!
