Export to Audio File

You can export your scores from Notion to digital audio files so anyone can listen to your composition .

WAV ( .wav) and mp3 files are easily added to recordable CDs or flash drives, or to post on the Web or

send in an e-mail . Or, you can import the contents of audio files into a digital audio workstation .

Audio File Export

WAV files are uncompressed files that are relatively large but contain the most information about each

sound . Mp3 files are compressed files 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 file of an NTempo performance, complete a

Tempo Overdub

first .)

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 file; 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 file .
5 . Enter a file name .
6 . Select required format (WAV or mp3) and bit depth
7 . Choose whether you want to export one audio file from the master, from multiple audio files created from individual

buses, or from each instrument (bounce stems) .

8 . Click Save .

» The software creates an audio file, according to your requirements, very quickly .

Your .wav file is immediately available for use . Since you exported this information, your original Notion file is intact .

There’s Also .wav File Import

In addition to audio file

export

, you also have the option of WAV file

import

, where you bring

the contents of WAV files created in other programs into Notion . Details on how to incorporate

WAV files into your Notion compositions appear in

in Chapter 11 .

Upload to Studio One™

‘PreSonus Capture Session’ from the drop

down menu . Select a location and then

Notion will export the stems plus create a

Capture file in the same folder . Double click

this file, or drag and drop it onto Studio One .

a new project in Studio One, and include

information such as track name, volume,

pan and initial tempo and time signature .
