225 ADOBE AUDITION 1.5
User Guide
4 Select one of the following:
Export As Six Individual Mono Wave Files Creates standard Windows PCM .wav mono
files that typically can be used by any Windows audio application. (For more information,
see “Windows PCM (.wav)” on page 239.)
Export As One Interleaved, 6-Channel Wave File Exports as Windows PCM .wav format,
which allows a single file to contain multiple channels of audio. However, not all Windows
audio applications can open or play WAV files that are not mono or stereo. (For more
information, see “Windows PCM (.wav)” on page 239.)
Note: Interleaved files reflect the channel order used by Dolby Digital encoders. If you plan to
use an encoding process with a different channel order, export the session as six individual
files, instead.
Export And Encode As Windows Media Audio Pro 6-Channel File Creates multichannel
WMA files that can be played by anyone who has Windows Media Player 9 or later, a multi-
channel output sound card, and a 5.1 speaker setup. (Media Player 9 requires Windows XP.)
Export options
5 If you select Export And Encode As Windows Media Audio Pro 6-Channel File, specify
the following Windows Media Audio options:
• Constant Bit Rate (CBR) varies the quality level as needed to ensure that the bit rate
stays the same. This method makes a consistently sized file, although the quality may
not be as high as with Variable Bit Rate encoding.
• Variable Bit Rate (VBR) maintains the audio quality by varying the bit rate depending
on the complexity of the audio passage being encoded. This method can maintain
higher quality audio in the file, although the file size is not as predictable as with
Constant Bit Rate encoding
• Lossless compresses to a smaller file size than WAV, but results in no fidelity loss.
