Export Audio Mixdown
The Export Audio Mixdown dialog
About the Import into Project section
In this section you will find several options for importing the resulting mixdown files
back into the existing or into a new project:
• If you activate the Pool checkbox, the resulting audio file will automatically be
imported back into the Pool as a clip.
Use the Pool Folder option to specify in which Pool folder the clip will reside.
• If you activate the Audio Track option as well, an audio event that plays the clip will
be created and placed on a new audio track, starting at the left locator.
If you activate the Audio Track option, the Pool option will automatically be
activated as well, and deactivating the Pool option also deactivates the Audio
Track option.
• If you activate the “Create New Project” option, a new project is created that
contains one audio track for each of the exported channels, as well as the
signature and tempo track of the original project. Note that if this is activated, the
Pool and Audio Track options are disabled.
The tracks will have the corresponding mixdown file as audio event. The track
names will be identical with the export channel names. Note that the new project
will be the active project.
Ö The Create New Project option is only available if you have selected an uncompressed
file format and the Use Project Audio Folder option is deactivated.
About the Import Options dialog
If you activate any of the options in the “Import into Project” section, the Import Options
dialog will open for each exported channel when the export is complete. For a detailed
description of the options in this dialog see
“About the Import Medium dialog” on
page 386.
About the Post Process section
In the Post Process section, you can select a process that you want to execute after
mixing down your audio file.
• If WaveLab 7.0.1 or higher is installed on your machine, you can select “Open in
WaveLab” to open you mixdown file in this application after export.
• You can select “Upload to SoundCloud” to launch SoundCloud, connect to your
user account, and upload your mixdown.
Realtime Export Activate this if you want the export to happen in realtime, in which
case the process will take at least the same time as regular
playback.
Some VST plug-ins, external instruments and effects require this in
order to have enough time to update correctly during the mixdown
– consult the plug-in manufacturers if uncertain.
Cubase only: When Realtime Export is activated, the exported
audio will be played back via the Control Room. Depending on the
CPU and disk speed of your computer, it may not be possible to
export all channels simultaneously if Realtime Export is activated. If
an error occurs during the realtime export, the program will
automatically stop the process, reduce the number of channels
and start again. Afterwards the next batch of files is exported. This
is repeated as often as needed to export all selected channels.
Due to this splitting of the export process in “runs”, the realtime
export might take longer than the actual playback would.
