Exporting individual tracks

Hello everyone,
If this has been discussed somewhere else I apologize, I wasn't able to find this information.
I have recorded an ep for my band in logic express 7. We are planning to send it off to be mixed. THe problem is they will be mixing on pro tools. is there an easier way to set this up for them then just bouncing each track one at a time. Is there an export for all tracks individually on LE7? I saw on the forum that freezing tracks would work. does this make a copy of the whole track length of each each track even though there is different sections? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the question.

Best way to export individual tracks for mixing on other software

I've recorded a song with my band, it has 14 tracks in total.
We have a friend who is a pretty good engineer and I want to export the tracks from GB to give him so he can mix/master.
What is the best way of doing this?
I've done a bit of googling and found two options:
(1) Find the GB track in the finder and use the 'show package contents' to locate each individual part
(2) Solo each track and use the GB share function
I have concerns with both options, with (1) not all the tracks begin at the start of the song so I will end up with lots of tracks of random length with no way to sync them properly.
With option (2) I am concerned GB will do it's own mixing and not give me the raw versions.
Any advice?
Oh, and a quick other question. If I have recorded vocals for verse 1 on track 1 and then the chorus on track 2, I can click and drag the chorus section onto track 1 but click & drag needs a steady hand not to get it slightly out of place. Is there a keyboard shortcut for this?
Thanks

how i'd do it ... since i'm going with the export route (and in this case i would definitely go that route rather then trying to piece together all the bits and keep them in time), i'd want to start my (continued) project with everything at their best levels possible, i wouldn't want to waste any of my 24 bits
Thanks for the reply.
On this one issue, however, I would think that raising the volume on GB tracks prior to exporting to another DAW would have no effect on the number of bits used or wasted. The number of bits used would be an issue during the initial recording, and then when creating the eventual stereo mix. But the intermediary stage at which you transfer from GB to another DAW is "bit agnostic." Aside from transferring the files, there's nothing special about if from an audio perspective - increasing volume can't create more "original" information on each track/bit beyond the initial recording. Rather, it's the equivalent of adding a digital volume level increase on a track which you can do at any stage, like after the tracks arrive in their new DAW, with the same effect.
In other words, as I understand it, increasing the levels in GB prior to bringing them into another DAW or after you bring them into another DAW is equivalent as far as the original (or ultimate) meaningful bit information is concerned. Therefore, you might as well provide the tracks in as unadulterated form as possible, and allow the engineer of the subsequent DAW to apply any digital effects, including volume increase, as needed.
at a technical level, that's probably true. however GB does not output garbage, under the hood it's the same engine that logic uses. it may be a consumer level GUI, but the guts are professional level.
Absolutely!

Export individual tracks in Multi-track session (foley) to be mixed by another Engineer?

I have a multi-track session containing 12 tracks of foley for a film.
All audio has been placed at specific points on the timeline to match the action in the film.
The audio files will be passed on to another engineer who will add them to the existing soundtrack & foley for the film.
I would like to export each track in my multi-track session so that the sync'ing will be maintained.
I was hoping I could export/render out a single .wav file that would be the total length of the time line for each track. Then all the Engineer needs to do is line up each audio file as a specific point in the movie, and all the sync'ing would be correct.
How can I do this in Soundbooth?

Is there another method I could use to accomplish this?
Thanks sooo much for your help.

I need to have a better play with this tonight as i didn't get much time last night, but my initial stab at this wasn't overly successful.
The tracks are all different lengths and if i solo a track, then export it, the export will still run to the end of the longest track giving me a chunk of silence at the end.
So i did a little hunting and found something along the lines of a clip area (from memory - a yellow line along the top of the timeline) which sounded like it would do what i wanted, but my first attempt still produced lots of silence at the end.
Oh, i've also lost where i specify the iTunes export to be AAC rather AIF.
Is there a good url for picking all this up rather than bugging this list?

Is it possible to individually export multiple tracks in sequence?

I have a very large number of tracks and I wish to automatically export each track individually. Currently, I need to deactivate every video track and then queue up each video one by one, needless to say, this process is very time consuming.

Export all tracks as audio files in LPX has suddenly ceased to function correctly

I have been working on a project for the past three months, which requires me to work from home ,then export all my tracks as audio files and take them into another studio. This is because my collaborator's DAW of choice is now Nuendo. So far, this has proved to be a very successful approach to our workflow, until today. As an example , I have a cue with 96 tracks. When I came to use export all tracks as audio files, the usual window came up, defaulting the destination to the bounces folder in the Logic song. However, this time, instead of the expected and correct number of tracks to be saved ( 96 ) , the total was 25 !
I tried this with a few other recent Logic songs and the same thing happened. None of us can figure it out. I had to manually, and individually, bounce each track separately, which was very time-consuming. A clue, though….. I tried exporting the tracks one at a time. So, the first one was, say, piccolo rips. It did that fine . The second track was Alto flute runs, but when I came to export, Logic seemed to think it was still the piccolo rips! This implies that the reason why I'm experiencing reduced export files is because Logic is thinking that many of the tracks are actually duplicates, so it's stopping them from being exported. That's the only explanation I have. However, I don't have the answer to the reason for this. I'm running the latest version of Logic.
Has anyone clue as to why this has suddenly started to happen and how it can be fixed please? I'm thinking I might just trash the Logic app and reinstall.
Many thanks for any help.

First of all you are welcome...
I have to say... I suspect something has changed even if you are not directly aware of it.... between the time it did work and now that it doesn't for you... Be it for example... an update to a plugin you are using.. or even a new/different plugin you are using now that you didn't use before...
I checked with one of my clients a few minutes ago, who does regular, several times a week, large project stem exports to see if he has ever had or heard of such an issue ( in case it one of those odd bugs that only rears its head every now and again..) and the answer was no, not at all...
So all I can recommend is to create some testbed projects.. using different combinations of Plugins, creation of tracks methods.. templates etc.. until you uncover the root cause of the issue... because i suspect it may well be something unique to your system, config or work method that is causing this problem..
You might also want to check with the guys at
http://www.logicprohelp.com/forum/index.php
..and see if David, Jordi, Eric or one of the other regulars there, have ever come across such a problem.. I did a quick cursory search there and found nothing at all but it was a very quick look/see type of search...
Maybe CCT, Pancenter... or Edgar here.. might have an idea or two, too...
Finally, Can you also state your current OS X / Logic version please...
Cheers..
Nigel

Is there way to "export all tracks as audio" without such extreme volume?

Exporting some songs for a client, and when i use the "export all tracks as audio" function-- the tracks created are much louder than the levels i have them at in the song. I'm paying mind to the 'normalize' function, as well as the automation option.
But it seems to not matter if i turn the master volume down, or if I turn the output down- the tracks are much, much louder than they are in the song.
Anybody know of a way around this short of bouncing each individual track one by one? We don't have time for that.

AIFF and WAV are sonically identical, doesn't realy matter which you choose. AIFF is to Mac what WAV is to windows.
It does not have any bearing on levels, that is up to the *Track Automation.* If you have no Track Automation the files will be exported as if the fader is at 0 dB. ONLY when you automate the fader and put the track in *Read mode* will there be a difference, and only if you check the *include Pan/Volume automation* option.

Exporting Files/Tracks for sending to others - consolidating.....

Hi.
I have to send over some files to someone for mixing. Is the best way to do it:
1. consolidate each track and export - if so how do you consolidate regions to 0?
OR
2. Bounce each track individually from 0 ?
Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks, Ben

"Export All Tracks As Audio Files" is the way to go. It was added in Logic 7 for this very purpose. It will automatically create audio files that start from bar 1, beat 1. It has always worked flawlessly here. There are a few points to remember however.
It will export both audio regions, as well as MIDI regions (using Audio Instruments).
It will export ALL tracks on your arrange page. so make sure that only the tracks you want to be exported appear on the arrange page. I can't remember if hidden tracks get exported as well, but be aware of it at least.
Plug-ins on the tracks get recorded, so if you want the sound of a plug-in on there, leave it on. If not, remove it prior to exporting.
Automation is NOT included. If you need automation included, solo the track, and then bounce it.
Aux tracks, used as outputs for multi-channel instruments like Ultrabeat, EXS, etc... doe NOT get exported. Again, utilize the bounce feature for this.
Make sure you name the Audio object of each track, not the track itself. This is because, when exporting, the exported track will take the name of the audio object FIRST, and then the name of the track. So if you have named the audio object "kick drum:, your new audio file will have the same name.
If, however, you named the TRACK "kick drum", the bounced audio file will read "Audio 01-kick drum".
I always suggest, when getting ready to export, save a version of the song with a name like "Song Title-for exporting". Then, on this newly saved version, you can get rid of tracks that won't be exported, remove plug-ins, etc...
That way, your original remains intact.

Exporting Single Tracks

Is there an easy way to export single tracks -- instead of the whole song -- to disk? I want to be able to take individual tracks out of a song with lots of tracks, export them to disk, and then email them to a friend for him to work with.

Exporting audio tracks

Elements 7
is it possible to export individual audio tracks? for example if I wanted to just export the narration could I do this without all the other audio in my project exporting too?

Yes, in Export/Share, one can choose Audio Only, and then settings for Export.
To isolate your various Audio Tracks, go to Window>Audio Mixer, and choose Mute for all Tracks that you wish to exclude.
Good luck,
Hunt

Any way to export single tracks (with no extra space) or only highlighted bits?

I need to be able to record several hundred small (<1 second) sound bytes and I am trying to use garage band. Obviously that's not what it's made for but I can't find any other software that could even come close to doing the job.
I tried just recording everything all at once and then splitting it up and exporting individual highlighted parts but it can't do that.
Then I tried putting each piece on an individual track and exporting that, but it ends up with a 1 second clip and 15 minutes of silence.
I tried exporting the whole thing to iTunes, converting to an MP3, and then editing the start and stop points and then reconverting to an MP3, but there's no way to indicate start times of a fraction of a second and my sound bytes aren't always exactly inside a second marker.
Is there any good way to do this in Garage Band? If not, is there a program that will do it? Thanks!

Bouncing individual tracks creates 2 wav files for each..why?!!

When I bounce individually selected tracks from Logic Express, it creates a double wav file in my folder for each track I bounce. It didn't use to do that and I haven't changed any settings... Please HELP :/

By "double wav" do you mean that you are getting a separate audio file for left channel and another for right channel, something like this?
Be sure to check in your bounce window that you have "interleaved" checked instead of "split."
Depending on how you're exporting/bouncing your tracks this may not help, but you can always solo the desired track and bounce your song with "interleaved" selected to get a single stereo file of that individual track.

Export all tracks and bounce

Hi,
Normally i work on my macbook pro and send the wav files to a engineer to be mixed in Protools.
My query is that when iam doing this should i bounce all the tracks individually using the Bounce button or should i do it using the export all tracks as audio files function.
I observed that when i bounce tracks individually the waveform looks more powerful which is a little weaker when i export....Tell me what s right for me;;; Mani

The "Export ALL tracks as audio files" was added a few versions back for the very reason you are wanting to use it.
It creates a contiguous audio file that starts at bar 1, beat 1, and can be imported into any other DAW platform. The export function bounces the audio file at unity gain, which is ideally what you want when sending files to a mix engineer.
Export bypasses any volume or other automation that you might have been using as well. Again, preferable to the scenario you're doing here, as a mix engineer will want to do his/her own automation and processing. Although you have the option of adding that in the export if you desire.
Plug-ins are rendered as well, but you do have the option of bypassing them when exporting. Finally, exporting allows you to export ALL tracks in one go. Bouncing, on the other hand, bounces THROUGH the stereo outputs, rendering any plug-ins that you have inserted on your stereo outputs to the bounced audio file, and is generally used for your final mixdown, or submixed tracks/stems, as it renders any tracks running through the main outputs as a SINGLE stereo audio file.
So all that to say, the EXPORT feature is what you want to use for sending tracks to another DAW for mixing.

How to "Export All Tracks as Audio Files" in Pro Tools?

I have a Pro Tools session that I want to mix in Logic. So I need to bounce all tracks as audio files like Logic's "Export All Tracks as Audio Files" command. Does anyone know if this is possible in PT, or do I need to bounce one track at a time (in realtime!)?

Sorry, but the previous answers are not quite correct. Consolidate tracks will only merge all your edits and fades and make a new audio file out of it. It wont consolidate any automation or insert effects. The same is true for exporting audio from the regions pane. Therefore you still have to perform a "bounce to disk" in order to consolidate properly. So no it doesn't have the "Export All Tracks as Audio Files" option......
Christian,
When "exporting" from one DAW to another, it's generally understood that automation and plug-ins will not be included.
Exporting from Pro Tools does indeed bounce the files to disk. We aren't talking about a stereo mix here. We're talking about exporting all the individual tracks. Are have I misunderstood you?
.... which leads me on to this question. How long has logic had the "Export All..." function as I have been performing "track lays" (i.e. getting my logic stuff ready for a pro-tools mix) for films that can often take days to perform and am embarrassed to stumble across this option on this forum as I fear I may have cost myself several weeks of my life working the long way round!!!
"Export All tracks as Audio Files" was introduced in version 7.0.
Don't feel too ashamed though. I have a good friend, who has been using Logic daily as long as I have (8 years or so now), who only 3 months ago, saw me utilizing that feature, and his jaw dropped. He too, had been wasting "weeks" of his life, doing it the way you have been doing it. : )
You're gonna absolutely LOVE using that feature from this day forward...!
