Converting your soft synth tracks to audio
Software instruments
3.
In the
Destination
field, choose a new or pre-existing track to put the new audio data on.
4.
If you’ve saved presets from previous bounce operations, you can choose a preset from the
Preset
field.
5.
In the
Source Category
field, choose
Tracks
.
6.
In the
Channel Format
field, choose
mono
if you want a mono track,
stereo
if you want a stereo
track, and
split mono
if you want to create separate mono tracks.
7.
In the
Source/Buses
field, choose the output bus(es) that the soft synth tracks are using
(usually the main outputs).
8.
In the
Mix Enables
field, make sure all choices are selected.
9.
Click
OK
.
SONAR creates new audio tracks from the outputs you selected. When you’re through converting,
don’t forget to mute your MIDI tracks so you won’t hear them and the new audio track(s) at the same
time.
To export your soft synth tracks as Wave, MP3, or other type files
1.
Mute all tracks that you don’t want to export; make sure you don’t mute the synth track or the
audio track that the soft synth is patched into, or the MIDI track(s) that you are using as a source.
2.
Use the
File > Export > Audio
command.
The
Export Audio
dialog box appears.
3.
In the
Look in
field, choose the location where you want the new, exported file to be.
4.
Type a file name in the
File name
field.
5.
Choose the type of file, the format, and the bit depth of the new file you’re creating—for MP3 use
16 bits.
6.
In the
Mix Enables
field, make sure all choices are selected.
7.
Click
OK
.
SONAR creates a new audio file of the type you specified. Find the file in the folder you specified,
and double-click it to listen to it.
See:
“Drawing soft synth automation in the Clips pane”
Note:
You control the bit depth of all rendering operations (bouncing, freezing, applying effects)
in
Edit > Preferences > File - Audio Data
, in the
Render Bit Depth
field. The default value of
32
is the best for most situations. See
“Bit depths for rendering audio”
on page 1300 for more
information.
