// WHAT IT DOES

File → Export Audio/Video. Pick what to render (Master, individual tracks, returns), the file format (WAV, AIFF, FLAC, MP3), bit depth, sample rate, and dithering if downsampling.

Click Export → Live renders the selection in the background.

Think of it like → Like printing a photo. The negative (project) stays; the print (file) is what you share.
▸ WHY YOU CARE
  • Share your finished mix as MP3 or WAV.
  • Bounce stems for collaboration or remixes.

// SEE & HEAR IT

No simulator for this mission — read & quiz only.
▸ HOW IT WORKS

Live plays selection through routed signal chain → captures master (or per-track) buffer → writes to disk in chosen format.

▸ Signal flow — watch the dot
▸ SIGNAL FLOW

Glowing dot = your signal travelling through Live.
▸ LISTEN FOR
  • Status bar shows render progress and elapsed time.
▸ WALKTHROUGH (3 steps)
  1. 1. DO: Set the loop brace to your full song. File → Export Audio/Video.
    ▸ LISTEN: Dialog opens.
  2. 2. DO: Pick WAV 24-bit 48 kHz, Master only.
    ▸ LISTEN: Reasonable mastering source.
  3. 3. DO: Pick MP3 320 kbps for sharing.
    ▸ LISTEN: Smaller file, near-CD quality.
▸ COMMON MISTAKES
  • Forgetting to set the export range — renders only the loop brace.
  • Exporting MP3 as your master — keep WAV/AIFF as the master.
