Exporting Selected Tracks, Busses, and Outputs

You can export selected tracks, busses, or outputs in a project. When you export
selected tracks, busses, or outputs, each is exported to a stereo AIFF file. The output file
is given the same name as the track, bus, or output being exported. You can also
export a track, bus, or output to a pair of mono files; in this case, the letter L is
appended to the filename of the left mono file, and the letter R is appended to the
right mono file.

To export individual tracks, busses, or outputs:

1

In the Timeline, select the tracks, busses, or outputs you want to export, then choose
File > Export > Export Selected [item].

The [item] shown in the menu changes depending on whether tracks, busses, or
outputs are selected.

If nothing is selected, each unmuted track, bus, and output in the project is exported as
an individual AIFF file.

2

In the Export dialog, choose the sample rate for the exported files from the Sample
Rate pop-up menu.

3

Choose the bit depth for the exported files from the Bit Depth pop-up menu.

4

Optionally, select the “Output dual mono files” checkbox to export the selected tracks,
busses, and outputs as dual mono files, then click Save.

5

Browse to the location where you want to save the exported files.

6

Click Export.

Each selected track, bus, or output is exported as a single stereo AIFF file or as a pair of
dual mono AIFF files. Muted and unselected tracks, busses, or outputs are not exported.

When you export a track, bus, or output that includes an effect (for example, a reverb
or delay) that produces a tail that extends past the end of the project, the exported file
lengthens to include the tail.
