Export Audio Mixdown
At the right of the Name and the Path fields there are two
pop-up menus with a number of options:
Naming Options
• Select “Set to Project Name” to set the Name field to
the project name.
• Activate the “Auto Update Name” option to add a num-
ber to the specified file name every time you click the Ex-
port button.
Path Options
• Select “Choose…” to open a dialog in which you can
browse for a path and enter a file name.
The file name will automatically be shown in the Name field.
• Select an entry from the Recent Paths section to reuse
a path specified for a previous export.
This section is only shown after an export has been completed. With the
“Clear Recent Paths” option you can delete all entries from the Recent
Paths section.
• Activate the “Use Project Audio Folder” option to save
the mixdown file in the project’s Audio folder.
Naming Scheme
Clicking the “Naming Scheme…” button opens a sepa-
rate pop-up window. Here, you can choose a number of
elements that will be combined to form the file name. De
-
pending on the settings in the Channel Selection section,
different elements are available.
The elements are defined as follows:
Ö By combining the available naming elements, you can
make sure that all the files of a batch are exported with
unique names. If you have set up a naming scheme that
would result in identical file names, a warning message
appears when you click the Export button.
• To add an element, press the “+” button on the far right,
and to remove an element from the naming scheme click
the corresponding “-” button.
You can also remove an element by dragging it out of the Elements sec-
tion.
• To rearrange the sequence, simply click on an element
and drag it to a different position.
• To choose a different element for a certain position,
click on the element name and select a new entry from the
pop-up menu.
Each element can only be used once in a naming scheme. The pop-up
menu therefore shows only those elements that are still available.
Below the Elements section, you will find some additional
options:
The field below these options shows a preview of what the
resulting file names will look like.
Ö To close the Naming Scheme pop-up window, simply
click anywhere outside the pop-up window. The gener-
ated name will now also be shown to the right of the
“Naming Scheme…” button.
