246 Chapter 6 Editing Audio Files
Saving Audio Files from the File Editor Project View
You can also save a project as a standard audio file from the File Editor project view. In
this case, the edits you have made are rendered into the audio file and cannot be
changed or undone the next time you open the audio file in the File Editor.
To save a project as an audio file:
1 Choose File > Save.
2 In the Save dialog, type a name for the file and browse to the location where you want
to save it.
3 Choose the file type for the project from the File Type pop-up menu.
You can save a project to any of the following standard audio file formats:
 AIFF
 WAVE
 NeXT
 Sound Designer II
 Core Audio File
 QuickTime Movie
4 Choose the bit depth for the project from the Bit Depth pop-up menu.
5 Choose the sample rate for the project from the Sample Rate pop-up menu.
6 Optionally, select any of the following checkboxes:
 Dither: Select to dither the file. Dithering is useful when saving a project at a lower
bit depth or sample rate. In general, you should dither a project only when saving it
as a standard audio file, and only when you have finished all bit depth or sample rate
conversions. Dithering is not appropriate for 32-bit files.
 Include Source Audio: Select to include the source audio in the project. If you don’t
select this checkbox, the project refers to the external source audio file. Referenced
files must be present to open the project correctly.
 Update Multitrack Documents: Select to switch all instances of the original file in
open multitrack projects to the new audio file project.
