Exporting project as audio file (wav)?

This may sound like a stupid question but i'm new to logic. I'm trying to export the project as an audio wav file to post on the net but am a little confused how its done. The project contains apple loops - can these be exported with the rest of the project?
Thanks

Look up "Bounce"...
This will create a stereo mix of your song, in any format you choose, be it .wav, AIFF, AAC,, mp3, etc...

How to export comps as audio files that start at beginning of song?

Hi all
I'm a failry casual Logic user, looking for some insights from you experts out there!
Right now I'm helping out on an album project which involves me laying down various parts in a different location to the main project. Basically I'm getting rough mixes of the songs which I'm importing into my own Logic 8 project as single stereo files. Then I'm recording my various bits so that I can later send back individual wavs of each track I've recorded.
I've recorded various takes and made a few comps that I want to use for my file export. However, I haven't always started recording at the very beginning of the song, hence my audio regions don't start at the same point. I want to give the producer files that can be pulled into the main project with the exact same starting point.
I've tried poking around in the menus and the user guide to figure out how to do this, but without much success. I've tried "flatten and merge" on my comps, and have then tried drawing some "blank" regions to fill in the space back to the song starting point. I thought I could then glue them together and export as one audio file, but it's not working.
Before I get myself too tied up in knots, can anyone recommend a "right" way to do this?
Thanks a lot!

Thanks! I'll try that third option and see if it works for us.
I'd still like to solve this via option 1 anyway, as it could be useful in other applications (ie when collaborating with systems that don't support the timestamp feature).
The problem is that if I use the pencil tool to draw an empty region, it won't let me glue it to the existing recorded region. I get the error "Folders and Regions or Aliases cannot be merged."
Also, if I double-click the new region it opens in the piano roll rather than the sample editor, which seems bizarre. Surely you can't combine MIDI and audio regions on the same track?? This could be a clue as to why it won't let me glue these regions together though.
Note that in the file I'm currently trying this with, I've flattened and merged my takes, having chosen the one I want to keep. So, I no longer have the take folders visible (and actually, I don't know how I'd get them back if I wanted to, but I guess that's a different question entirely). My point being that Folders aren't in use here, despite what the error message says.

Can't export MIDI as Audio file. Any idea what I should have done?

Hi all,
wonder if anyone can help me out. I'm a "Logic"-newbie.
I recorded 10 "external MIDI" tracks(strings) from my Roland JV 1080 synth module into Logic Pro 9 and now I want to export the MIDI file as Audio but when I go to: File - Export - Track As Audio File, the "Track As Audio File" is gray/ not enabled !! The option-"Export All Tracks As Audio Files " is enabled, but when I try it, it doesn export the MIDI tracks with all the Roland JV 1080 data.It only exports any other recorded "soft instruments"tracks or Audio tracks I've uploaded. Keep in mind, the 10 Midi recorded tracks of strings (JV 1080) are using the same program name/patch, and all 10 tracks are on a single channel. In the Inspector window, it doesn't show the "Bounce" option either. When I started recording the strings from this patch, I used the "new track with duplicate settings"-button,so I could have the same sounding string patch available right away. My Roland JV 1080 synth, is connected to the Midi interface only. Should I also have Audio cables connected from JV 1080's Mix Out to the Audio interface (Apogee-Duet) in order to record directly as Audio?
Thanks for your time guys!

Thank you as well! Since, you have similar equipment like mine- (Apogee/ Emagic), how do you suggest I connect my devices properly. I got an external 12-channel "Mackie"1202-VLZ Mixer, which has my Roland JV 1080 box and my Kurzweil PC2X controller kyes connected to.These two are also, connected MIDI In and Out -to my Emagic Unitor 8 MKII (Audio Interface). I'm a little confused about the connecting of my Apogee Duet, since it has just 2 OUT's- L and R. What's the best rigging here, so I can hear the Audio back from the JV 1080 and the Kurzweil?
( P.S. The Apogee Duet's OUT's (L& R) are plugged into the Mackie'sStereo Aux Returns (L&R). The monitors are connected to the Main Outs.)
I appreciate your suggestions.

Missing 'Export Track as Audio File' command Logic Pro X 10.0.6

Hi - I have just installed Logic Pro X (v10.0.6) for the first time, having come across from PT.
For some reason, Logic appears to be missing some key 'Export Track as Audio File' commands from the menu. The shortcut Command + E just makes the screen flash and nothing happens. I also appear to be missing a lot of other basic commands along with this, based on what I have seen online from other users. Please see screenshot below of my file > export options:
I have tried reinstalling but the same problem occurs.
Could someone please confirm if this is normal, or how I might be able to fix if not? FYI, I am running OS X 10.9.1..
I am hopefully just missing something obvious here.
Thanks

Evidently it's not giving the user a choice at installation?
It does.. but it words it along the lines of 'Have you used Logic Pro in the past?" kind of thing....
So an experienced DAW user that hasn't previously used Logic, would get the limited installation.
The more people you try and and protect from themselves the more generic (i.e. limited) the solution.
Religion would be a good example of this.

Export Region As Audio File results in truncated audio file

When I use the Export -> Region As Audio File option, the resulting file does not sound identical to the region. Specifically, the first 100 milliseconds or so are not in the resulting audio file.
Does anyone have the same problem? Does anyone have a workaround?
I'm using this feature to automate the mastering of hundreds of short regions for a CD-ROM title. So while theoretically I could add a little silence to all regions, this is not really practical, unfortunately.
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Yes, that was exactly it, the inserted plug-in was to blame. I was using Logic's Adaptive Limiter. Now I'm using the Limiter, and the problem no longer occurs. I'm still somewhat curious if there is a simple workaround (I tried a region delay, but it has no effect on the Export Region feature, apparently), but at least now I know what's going on.
Thanks for the responses!

Export Region as Audio File Results in Clicks (pic attached)

Like so many things in Logic, I try out a feature for the first time and it fails... [sigh...]
The region at top is the original audio file which, after selected, I used the "export region as audio file" function. At bottom, the result, where spikes in the audio are clearly seen. They're nastly sounding lil' buggers too. Tried this operation several times with the same result.
Anyone else run across this?

"Oh, and BTW, the spikes at the beginning and end of the original file are normal (they're 2-pops)."
And why are those pops there? Are they deliberately placed, or just remains of a cut?
Try to remove those pops from the original file and then use "export region as audio file" again and report back.
We are not dealing with tapes here, not even digital ones. This is streaming/reading from RAM or HD and those "2 pops" might very well mess up your export.
When you redid the export, did the "additional pops" always show up in the same location?

Export region as Audio File

Hi! See this... i have a couple of instrument tracks and wanna "transorm" them into Audio to save CPU. I tried Export Region as Audio File and it works well the first time, then the second region... Logic quits unexpectedly. I tried 16bit, 24 bit, different destination folder, in solo and not in solo mode, in cycle and not in cycle mode... let's say it doesn't matter. it quits 2, 3 times at the Export as Audio File stage, the next time it works well again. Then quits once more and so on... An hint is that right before chrashing i can see all other regions switching to MUTE mode. fairly odd! Do you have any idea about it?
Thanx in advance

Works fine here... no problems at all.
Have you tried this in a different song? It may be something with this one Logic file... unless you can duplicate it in another song.
As an alternative, I would suggest you simply export the whole track.

Renaming LPX Project-(folder) Audio-files by track name?

Hi
Is there any way or command to rename LPX Project folder Audio-files by track name automatically?

If you're really using that version of L8, you really need to get the software update for that - there were quite a few glaringly obvious faults with the initial release of Logic 8, which a couple of updates rectified.
I can't guarantee that the particular problem you specified is one of them, but you defininitely should do that...

Workflow Export 5.1 Audio to WAV

Hi,
I want to improve my audio workflow in Premiere CS6.
My Task:
I have to master feature length movies in premiere and have to export the final 5.1 audio:
1. as 5.1 48KHz 24Bit RF64 multi channel broadcast WAV
2. as set of discrete audio channels L R C Lfe Ls Rs
What doesn't works for me:
1. Export multichannel WAV: because the multichannel file would be larger 4GB Premiere just gives an error on export.
2. Send to Audition: because the multichannel file would be larger 4GB Premiere just gives an error on export.
3. Export Quicktime - audio only: this always results in corruped files with random audio peaks. (looks like a memory leak in the export)
My Workaround:
1. Export 5.1 audio to AVI - audio only - uncompressed 5.1 48KHz 24Bit
2. Import the exported AVI into Audition
4. Resample from 32bit float back to 24bit integer
3. Save as 48KHz 24Bit RF64 multi channel broadcast WAV
4. Split channels to mono files
5. Save all 6 mono channels
My question:
Is there a way to export the audio WAV directly from Premiere?
thanks
nw42

I do not believe that PrPro can Export to Multi-channel (above 2-channel) WAV.
The only two choices that I know of are:
Export to DD 5.1 SS AC3 w/ Minnetonka Audio SurCode Encoder plug-in (optional purchase)
Per your workaround, Export as a muli-channel WMA, then break out each channel to a discrete mono file. This is what I do, to later Encode to DTS with the SurCode DTS Encoder (stand-alone, not plug-in)
Maybe others will have other ideas for you.
Good luck,
Hunt

Premier freezes on export after rendering audio files

I'm having issues exporting projects out of premier today.
System specs:
6 core mac pro trashcan
D500s
32gb ram
500gb ssd
All media is on a lacie thunderbolt raid0 drive
Currently working on the simplest timeline you can imagine. One pro res proxy clip on a pro res proxy timeline exporting with matched sequence settings. No effects or plug ins.
When I export it renders the audio files and then stops at 0.01%. When I hit cancel premier crashes
I've also tried rendering in the timeline and the same thing happens. I've tried a few different projects with different media and the same thing happens.
Talked to support on chat. The guy trashed my preferences and deleted/moved all my plug ins (thanks - didn't let me know he was doing that). In the end I had a deadline to meet so cancelled the chat, unplugged my drive, plugged it into my macbook pro and was able to export as normal from there. Wanted to go back on chat now but its unavailable.
My mac pro has been exporting all week just fine. The only thing I've done in the last few days is install Osiris LUTS. I was still able to export another project after that as well. Right now I'm guessing that I'll need to do a full re-install of adobe CC, but having to do this in the middle of projects isn't really acceptable. Perhaps there's another solution?
Oh and by the way I'm on CC2014 v8.1. I haven't run the latest updates yet. As I said - in the middle of several projects and up until today everything was running great (apart from a couple of crashes a week)
Thanks for any help!

Found the issue. Was just about to re-install everything when I noticed some quicktime files on my desktop not displaying as normal. Tried to play them and sure enough wouldn't open (quicktime wanted to convert them). So I downloaded the latest apple pro apps and now I'm all good exporting.
I remembered last night I downloaded some youtube ripper software. I'm guessing that messed with my codecs somewhere down the line.

No Export Track as Audio File option

I have created a track in a project file that I want to place on my iPod. I select the track and choose File>Export> but the only option available is All Tracks as Audio Files. The Track as Audio File option is greyed out. When I choose All Tracks, I receive a dialog box saying, "Nothing to bounce!"
What am I doing incorrectly or not doing?

Have you tried "Bounce" instead?

Export - Track as audio file problem

Hi,
I think I've found a very serious bug:
I have an audio file in my arrange window. Now I'm going to export the track and I copied the last bit of the audio file to play 2 times. But when I export the track Logic ignores that little edit.
When I bounce the track everything is fine. What's the problem?

Now I have tried everything I could think of. Trashed prefs, made a new track, new arrangements, new computer. You name it.
But see for yourself! Download this zip and try to export the first track. You'll see that the last hihat shot is not present in your newly created audio file - whether it's 24 or 16 bit, wav or aiff.
Then try to export the merged track. Then it gets even more crazy. The last shot is still not there!
Download the little package here and try it out (10 MB): http://www.transferbigfiles.com/Get.aspx?id=6f9d82da-4eff-4147-a5f2-a154c6c271a8

Any way to export just an audio file?

Hi All
Is there any way to copy part of a larger audio file, paste it in another track (or open it in the file editor) process it in some way and then export just that file? Been reading manual and books, but this one has me stumped. Only see tracks and busses for export.
Thanks
John

If anyone is interested, and it seems not, a helpful person another list answered my question: copy snippet from one file onto another track; solo new track; select just snippet; save. Finally I can add time-based effects to parts of a larger audio file!

Is there a way to import an audio file (WAV) with markers?

I used a TASCAM DR-100-MK2 audio recorder to record conference presentations. The TASCAM has a function button which can be used to create markers in the audio file. I used this "marker" button to create a marker every time the presenter changed the PowerPoint/Keynote slides. I was hoping I could import the WAV file into FCPX and see the markers, and then drop each slide at the markers (after converting the slides into JPG files). However, I am not able to see the markers on the audio file. Is this something I can do in FCPX? If so, what do I need to do in order to see the markers?
A quick response is greatly apprecaited because I´m on a deadline. Thanks.

Tom,
Thanks for quick response. When I play the WAV file in QT player, I don´t see anything but the "start/stop" button, the "fast forward", "fast backward" and volume control. Shoule I see anything else?

Aperture 3 Exporting Projects / Individual Library Files?

So my typical backup procedure in Ap2 and below was to export project files and back those up on two external hard drives. I do not use reference files, but rather let everything import into the aperture library file.
so. . .
Now in Aperture 3 I go to backup a project and there's no option anymore to export projects, only "Libraries". I've always considered a "Library" to be the entirety of the files stored in Aperture, but this is something new. . . Is exporting these smaller Library files from Ap3 the same as exporting project files from Ap2? The file size of the exported "library" file seems consistent with the size of the project.
I haven't tried re-importing any of these new exported library files, but should I assume that these things will behave the same way as projects did in previous versions? i.e., is this still a viable backup methodology?
If not I'd hate to have to just export masters and lose all the metadata/adjustments I rely on aperture for.
Thanks,
msg

The line between libraries and projects has just been blurred a little giving the user more flexibility. Now you can open the exported project as a stand alone library or import it to another library as a project. (note that the "Import Project" command is now "Import Project/Library") IMHO your back up plan just got better.
