Section 8: Exporting an audio le
You’ve written your song, you’ve mixed it, and you’re ready to unleash it on an unsus-
pecting world. The next step then is to export your mix as a standard audio file.
To render your mix, click the export but-
ton, and select create an audio file (Fig. 8-1).
Selecting this option will display the dialogue
box shown in Figure 8-2.
Notice that the export button also has the
option of creating an MP3 or OGG file. You
might want to use this option if you are go-
ing to post your audio file on a website.
The default settings on this dialogue box
are suitable for creating audio files destined to be burnt to CD. You may also wish to enable
the normalise option though, as this will give the best signal-to-noise ratio.
The file field defines where
the rendered audio file will be
placed on your hard drive. You
can use the chooser button to
the right of this field to select a
name and destination for your
audio file.
When you are ready, simply
click render. This will start the
rendering process. Typically this
will take a few moments, but a progress meter will indicate how near Tracktion is to com-
pletion. Once the process is complete, your audio file is all ready and waiting to be burnt to
a CD.
At this point, you’ve completed your first song in Tracktion; you have seen how to cre-
ate a song from first ideas, to final mixdown and export. In truth, we’ve barely scratched
the surface of Tracktion’s power and flexibility here, but hopefully this guide has shown
you enough to whet your appetite. If you are hungry to learn more, there is a full Reference
Manual in PDF form included with your Tracktion install.
All that is left to say at this point is that we, at Mackie and Raw Material Software, hope
you enjoy using Tracktion as much as we enjoyed creating it.
