The Audio Montage 19 – 529
8. Select whether you want to create a named file or not.
If you activate “Create named file(s)”, you must specify a name and location for the file (or
just a location in case Regions are used). If you don’t activate the option, a temporary file is
created, with the bit resolution specified in the Preferences dialog–File tab.
9. If “Create specific file” is selected you can click the item at the bottom of
the dialog to open the Audio File Format dialog.
Here you can specify the various audio properties for the file(s) to be rendered. For certain
compressed file formats (mp3/mp2/WMA/Ogg Vorbis), you can make encoding settings
from the Encode pop-up menu. Click the question mark icon in the dialog for details.
Do fade-in/out at
boundaries
“Do fade-in/out at boundaries” is selectable when “Regions” is acti-
vated. In this case, the generated files get a short fade-in at the start, and
a short fade-out at the end.
The fade time and shape is set in the “Default fade/crossfade” section in
the Preferences–Wave edit tab. The fade processor is located after the
master fader, and before the post-master/dither slot. This allows the sig-
nal to benefit from dithering, if used.
If the fade time is longer than half the length of the processed file, it is not
performed.
Create Basic
Audio CD
This option (available when “Whole Montage” is selected and CD track
markers have been added, see “Preparing the Audio Montage for CD/
DVD-Audio burning” on page 531) creates a temporary file of the whole
Montage including clip and Master effects and opens it as a Basic Au-
dio CD window. This is a way to perform the processing and the CD
burning separately (to conserve computing power). However, since not
all Montage features are available in a Basic Audio CD, you may want to
use the Create CD image method instead.
Create CD image
and cue-sheet
This option (available when “Whole Montage” and “Create Specific file”
are selected and CD track markers have been added) lets you export an
Audio Montage as a CD image with an accompanying cue sheet (a text
file identifying the CD tracks in the image file). The cue sheet and the
image file it describes can then be imported into any CD recording ap-
plication that supports this function (including WaveLab), and written
onto CD.
Open as new Audio
Montage
If you have selected “Create CD image and cue-sheet”, you can select
this option, in which case the created CD image will open as a new Au-
dio Montage on completion. This is the method to use when burning a
CD from a CPU-intensive Montage, as it lets you render the processing
and burn the CD in two separate passes, without losing any Montage
functionality (see “About the two CD write methods” on page 540). If
you have added DVD track markers in a Montage, this option is also
available. Montages that are (or will become) part of a DVD-Audio
project will always be rendered anyway before burning, but you could
still use this option to “print” the Montage effects, allowing you to add
more effects, etc.
