Realtime Mixdown

Follow these steps to record a master file in real time:

• Add a new track, and load a new file (for instance: mix.wav).
• Activate the Record Master option in the Recording menu. Now a recording audio track will record the output of the Master section (or simply the output if the Master section is disabled) instead of your soundcard's inputs.
• Put the new track in record mode. Make sure all tracks that should be on the master are in playback mode.
• Start the Transport, and stop it when the Song has reached the end.

This way you can record a stereo .WAV file that can be used for CD burning etc. Note that this file will always start at position 0, if you want to "top" or "tail" the file (remove unwanted parts at the beginning or end) you can load the file in a Track and use the Track Editor's Export option.

Audio CD's always use a samplerate of 44.1 kHz. If you did not use a samplerate of 44.1 kHz use the Samplerate Converter. Pro Plus edition users can use a 24 or 32 bit file in step 2 in order to avoid rounding errors. Note that the final file that will be burned to CDR must be a 16 bit file in any case.

Note that stopping the Transport automatically resets the Record Master option.
