6 In the Sound Settings dialog, choose the format, number of channels, sample rate,
quality, and sample size (bit depth), then click OK.

multimedia projects or the web.

The name of the exported audio file defaults to the name of the sequence. If you are
exporting multiple audio tracks this way, you need to manually name each audio file
with the corresponding track number before you save it.
Exporting Audio Output Groups to AIFF(s)
The Export Audio to AIFF(s) command exports an AIFF audio file for each output
channel in your sequence. The number of audio files exported is based on the number
of audio output channels in the sequence. You can set the number of audio outputs in
the Audio Outputs tab of Sequence Settings. Dual mono channels are exported to two
mono audio files, and a stereo channel is exported to a single stereo audio file.
Note: You can also export your audio to a multichannel QuickTime file. The same audio
grouping rules apply.
In your sequence, you can assign as many tracks as you want to the same audio output
channel. For example, you can assign tracks 1–4 to audio output channel 1 (mono). The
resulting exported audio file for output channel 1 would contain a mix of audio from
tracks 1–4. You can use audio output channels to group and mix multiple audio tracks
together during export. For example, you could assign tracks 1–4 to output channel 1,
tracks 5–8 to output channel 2, and tracks 9–10 to stereo output channels 3 and 4. This
is useful for exporting stem mixes for use in a final audio mix elsewhere.
