Variations between 16, 24, and 32-bit depths primarily affect dynamic range and signal to noise ratio. A standard compact disc holds 16 bits per sample, whereas a Blu-ray disc contains 24 bits per sample. Bit depth is the number of bits of information in each sample. The sound quality won't change.īit depth does not work on lossy compression formats such as MP3. If you want a smaller file size than WAV and AIFF, you can select FLAC, which is a compressed lossless audio format. The only difference is the metadata that is stored within the files. Both WAV and AIFF files are identical in sound and file size. The available file types for PCM are WAV, AIFF, and FLAC. Lossless audio formats, depending on the type, can use compression algorithms to shrink the file size without affecting the audio quality so that the audio is exactly the same as the original source. When enabled, this creates a lossless audio file when exported. If you're planning on releasing your song to the public right after exporting, use the standard sample rate of 44100. If you are planning on having your song sent out for mixing or mastering, you should select the highest sample rate used in your project, typically the same as the In/Out sample rate in the Audio Tab under Preferences. This option really only comes in handy when you are going to be re-importing the file back into Ableton. The analysis file contains data gathered by Ableton to help optimize the stretching quality, speed up the waveform display process, as well as to detect the tempo of long samples. Live will create an ASD file in addition to the rendered audio file. This will make the track as loud as possible without clipping.
This option analyzes the exported file to find the highest peak, then increases the audio file's volume until the peak hits 0dB. The file will be exported as mono instead of stereo Ableton will calculate the decay tails that would occur after the exported file ends and renders it at the beginning. This option comes in handy when exporting sample loops with reverb and delay. Just in case, you can select the entire length of your song in session view first, then begin exporting. Render Length - specifies the total length in bars.īy default, both settings are set to the position and length of the arrangement selection. Render Start - specifies what bar the export begins at.
For exporting your finished piece of music, however, select Master, which combines all of the other tracks into a single stereo signal. Rendered Track - In some scenarios, such as getting your song ready for stem mixing/mastering, you can select all individual tracks or just one specific track from the drop-down menu. Once the menu is open, the first settings we can adjust are under ' Selection ' Alternatively, you can use the command CTRL+Shift+R (CMD+Shift+R on a Mac) to quickly access the menu. To export, select Export Audio/Video under the File menu. Also, highlight the length of the part you want to be exported. Once you are done with your song, it's time to export and turn it into an actual audio file.įirst, make sure all the tracks you want to be exported are active.
