Exporting Tracks and Phrases as .WAV Files

If you want to move audio from a project to an external device—such as a computer or
sampler—that reads .WAV files, you can export any track or phrase as a .WAV file. The
exported audio is written onto a data CD.

When you want to export an entire track, use the Track Export feature. To export
portions of a track, use the VS-2480’s phrase editing tools to fashion the audio into a
phrase, and use the Phrase Export feature.

The procedures for exporting tracks and phrase start a bit differently, but end on the
the same CD-burning screen.

Exporting Tracks as .WAV Files

1.

Insert a blank CD-R or CD/RW into your CD burner.

2.

On the CD-RW MASTERING MENU screen (Page 349), press F5
(TrkExp) for “Track Export”—the TRACK EXPORT Select Track screen
appears.

On this screen, you see a list of all of the project’s V-Tracks. To the right is a V-Track
map that shows you which V-Tracks contain data. When you export a track as a
.WAV file, you’re really exporting a V-Track—see Chapter 6 for an explanation of
the relationship between tracks and V-Tracks.
You can select the V-Tracks you want to export on TRACK EXPORT’s Select Track
screen or on its V-Track Map screen, described on the next page. You can mark as
many V-Tracks for export as you want on either screen.

There’s nothing to prevent you from importing a .WAV file onto a track—and at a time
location—where there’s already data. Be sure to select your destination V-Tracks and
time location carefully—the imported data will replace whatever’s there.

Since most audio programs can read .WAV files, you can process exported VS-2480
audio using virtually any audio processing or editing software. Afterwards—and after
saving the result as a .WAV file—you can re-import the audio back into the VS-2480.

The VS-2480 exports each pair of linked tracks as a stereo .WAV file.
