Render Tracks
The Render Tracks command is the functional equivalent of re-recording an edited track so that it
becomes a single region rather than a group of sequentially played regions on a playlist.
Rendering incorporates all fades, cross-fades, and volume envelope changes.
Rendering can simplify handling of a project’s tracks by replacing a track that has many complex
edits with a single, contiguous Region. Rendering is also useful when transferring a Project’s
tracks to another system. Since rendering tracks as a group creates a set of regions, which all
have the same start and end times, aligning the start of each file with a common marker (usually
the beginning of the song), assures that tracks will be synchronized.
A Rendered track is placed in the Project’s Rendered file folder and on its Regions List, from
where it can be dragged into the project track area, imported into another project, or exported to a
workstation.
When exporting files for further processing, Rendering all edited tracks, then exporting the
rendered files assures that tracks will be transferred with all edits intact. For compatibility with
other systems, tracks can be rendered either as WAV or AIFF files.
From the Render Tracks dialog box, you may choose to render all tracks or selected tracks, and
set the start and end times of the rendering operation. If you select a portion of a track or tracks
using the I-Beam tool, the Rendering start and end times default to the beginning and end times of
