Problems Exporting multiple tracks / Mix down - Big Probs!

Hi Guys,
I apologise for the large holes in my knowledge in advance.
I have asked a similar question before but I got a screen grab that does not appear in my version of STP (I use Version 2.0 I think, apologies, I am at work so can't be totally sure)
I have created a 30 minute project that goes accross 3 tracks with various bits of cut audio.
If I wan't to create one single MP3 of the whole piece I really struggle. The Option to create 'MP3' is greyed out, and the only option that creates the seems to create the single 'submix' file, is the option to export all tracks, buses and submixes etc.
When I go to open the WAV though it crashes, it also doesn't list a duration (which i think is why it is crashing).
I managed to export it at all using the lowest rates in the export menu but when I open the submix wav, it plays it full mixdown correctly but with about 8 empty tracks(?) in the main edit / playing window (not the session style window with all the tracks, buses etc)
I then can't convert the wav to an Mp3 (perhaps because it is not a standard wav) which means curtains for my podcast at present.
I am so sorry for the drivel that I have just written, If it does make sense I would be so glad if you could help me out.
How best to Mix Down my project?
Many thanks.
Dave.

Hi there,
My bad, the master mix was there, it is at the top but seperate so i must have missed it or thought it was the title of the menu, anyway, thanks for your help on that one.
The surround sound issue still bugs me but I changed the setting in 'Multitrack' and it seemed to work, as for the submix track, i see that at the bottom of the project (along with busses?) and there doesn't appear to be any sound file in there, i'll take another look and see if the settings need changing.
Thanks so much for your help as it was really doing my head in (along with the random crashes and slight movements in levels that I didn't touch)
It's fixed now so thank you very much indeed!!!
Here is the file if you wanna listen to it (shamelss plug), it;s a bit weird.

Exporting multiple tracks to EDL

Hi
I'm having problems exporting multiple tracks to an EDL.
The actual project file has come from somewhere else, so I have no idea what could have been set up to make it not work.
Basically, there are 11 video tracks, each with clips (some of the clips have been disabled, but all the tracks are enabled).
However, when I go to export/edl, with target video track unchecked, it only exports the lowest track for some reason.

edl is an old format from the linear edit days. it looks at track1 as being "video" and track2 as being "Key". if you must supply edl duplicate your sequence and flatten layers. if you need to get it to another fcp system use xml. if you're going to another system check out "Automatic Duck"

Exporting multiple tracks for podcast?

I recorded the voices for a podcast on the first track, and put some jingles/bumper music music on the second track. When I tried to Share>Export song to disk, it only exported one track or the other. How do I export multiple tracks?
Thanks.

Don't know if there's something glitchy with podcast exports, but unless you have one Track soloed or muted they should both export. Make sure there's no Ducking turned on.

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.

Not possible.

That's your only option.
You can file a feature request here:

note:
You can save a bit of time by holding down Shift
to disable / enable view of all video tracks at once.

Need to export multiple tracks

I have a sequence with 8 tracks of audio.
When I created the sequence, I set it up as "Stereo", not "Multichannel."
Now I need to export 8 separate WAV or AIFF files, 1 per track.
I cannot change the sequence to multichannel.
I could create a new multichannel sequence, and copy/paste, but then I lose all my Track Mixer effects and levels, which would take a LONG time to re-create manually.
Is there no way around this?
I suppose I could open it in Audition... but that will create a bunch of extraneous files.

Yeah ... that's what I ended up doing.
Premiere really needs
(a) option to change track settings after the fact; and
(b) ability to copy TRACK MIXER settings from one sequence to another. Especially Track effects. Ideally with PRESETS...

Making multiple tracks from one big track

I've got a CD that has 7 songs on it, but only shows as 1 long track (54:06) when I try to import it. I'd like to edit it so it imports/plays as 7 songs and not 1. I've figured out how to mark/edit the first song, but that's all. How can I reimport the original song so that I can do the other 6 tracks? I've looked at a lot similiar postings, but there were no answers. Apparently this is a problem a lot of people are having. Any suggestions would help. Thanks.

As i mentioned earlier, by selecting to convert the original song it is just making a copy of the song, and you do not have to have the CD to do so. Just select the song you want to duplicate and then select convert to...(whatever file format you want).
Hope this helps

How to make CD track markers when exporting multiple tracks from one track

I have been remixing a soundtrack on one track. I have imported in many tracks and worked on them as one project and now I'd like to export them as seperate tracks by giving them track markers. I've been reading the manual and this forum but haven't found anything about it. I also wanted to use Logic to clean up some old vinyl records and export them as CDs. Help please.

Best Way to Export Single Tracks in Audition

Hello,
What is the best way to export one single track (stereo or 5.1) from a multiple track mix in the Multitrack Editor if I want to make it mono? Is it by just muting the tracks I don´t want in the final mixdown and then selecting a mono Master in the Mixdown Options box?
What about exporting only a few of the tracks from a multiple track mix to one mono file? Same process?
Thanks!

"Export all Tracks as Audio Files" found under File>Export.
This will render audio files of your software instruments that start at bar 1, beat 1, and can be dragged right into Pro Tools. The export happens "pre-fader", so it is bounced at unity gain, and excludes any automation.
If there is automation that needs to be included (like a filter sweep or something like that), you'll need to solo the track, and bounce it, because a bounced file does include automation.
Also, if you're using a multi-channel instrument, you'll need to bounce those tracks separately as well.

Multiple Heaphone Mixes, Latency, FW cards (esp Firepods)

I often track bass, drums, and keys simultaneously for hip-hop and jazz recordings. The firepods "latency free monitoring" is ONLY for outputs 1-2, which presents a problem for multiple headphone mixes.
One solution is to use busses within logic, re-routed to different outputs on the firepod, then to different headphone amps, but then you have latency, which is no good for jazz... I need some sort of solution that provides at least 3 seperate latency free monitor mixes. (preferably not a new interface such as the mackie onyx, although that would work...) To keep throwing out unnacceptable solutions I've already thought of, I could run everything into our Yamaha MG32/14fx, use it for the monitor mixes, then use the inserts to send out to the pods. This skips the superior Presonus pre-amps in favor of the yamahas, which i'm sure aren't as good.
Finally, I've thought of using some sort of XLR splitter or patch panel splitter to feed a seperate mix to the firepods and board from the start. Will this noticeably degrade signal quality though? This seems like a problem that many people must encounter while trying to push a studio to the next level. Thanks in advance for the great advice i'm sure to get!

Mult-ing your mic inputs shouldn't make any noticeable difference to the sound. I have a patchbay, to which I soldered multiple outs, going to a mixer for headphone mixes. Make sure that you make parallel connections, as opposed to series.

Can you export multi track audio using FCPX?

hey guys
i can only find export audio under the "share" menu
and it has aiff,aac and mp3, no wav or omf and no options to include as multi tracks rather than a single stereo track or 5.1 surround
do you guys know of a way to export multiple tracks? without muting every track and export numerous times of course

Typed this hours ago and forgot to post it.....
Have actually done that and sent a test piece to the broadcaster. Not sure if I have got the audio tracks in the right order.... from top to bottom would that be audio tracks 1-4, with four at the bottom? I am waiting to hear back from the broadcaster to see if the test piece works as they expect it to.

I record multiple tracks (3-5) from real instruments and vocals. I want to send these files to a collaborator to add more tracks to, but Garageband wants to mix these down (which I don't want). How can I send the multiple tracks files to my friend?

I record multiple tracks of real instruments and vocals wth Garage Band. I want to share the file with a collaborator so he can add another instrument or two. I have not found a way to do this without the process mixing down the tracks. I don't want them mixed down like when I send them to Itunes. Also I can't seem to just attach a file directly to an email for sending purposes. I thought I saw a method to do this with software instruments, but how do you do it with real instruments? I've tried every process on the "export" list to try to accomplish this, without success. Thanks for any breakthrough advice on this!

As isteveus said - for large projects uploading to a server would be best.
Also I can't seem to just attach a file directly to an email for sending purposes.
But for completeness's sake , you cou can mail a project, if you ctrl-click the project and use "Compress xxx.band". This will compress the project and create a zip file, that you can mail (if it is not too large). But ask your friend for the maximal file size allowed as a mail attachment.
But whichever method you use to share your project, be sure you include all loops and instruments, if your friend does not have the same JamPacks installed. You can bundle the loops into the project by saving it as an archive. "File > Save as" and check the "Archive Project" option.
If this option should be disabled, you can force it to become active by editing your project slightly. It is only available, if the project needs saving.

Unexpected problem; recently upgraded to version 3. Export of multiple tracks makes each file length same as longest file. Didn't do that in Vers2

Unexpected problem; We rrecently upgraded to version 3. Export of multiple tracks in a multitrack session makes each file length same as longest file. Didn't do that in Vers 2 of soundtrack

Hmm... Ok, so I took that project and tried importing it to a new project, still with no luck. Then I tried taking that project and creating a new timeline by dragging one of the stills to the new item icon so that I'd get whatever PrPro decided was the best timeline, and still no luck. Then I tried creating a new project and importing different footage and it worked. Tells me perhaps there's something wrong with the stills? I know not to use overly-large stills in a project, but they're all around 4k resolution or smaller... so surely that's not too big, right? 412 stills total 1.5GB which means an average of about 2.5 MB per file... certainly not too big. I even had a couple video clips in the timeline that were shot with a point-and-shoot still camera, and I tried taking those out just in case it was something in those, and still no success.
So, ultimately this project got exported without CUDA, and I'm okay... but I also am wondering what caused the problem? I do a fair amount with stills (not a lot, but enough) and I need it to work... do I just go on with life, assuming that it was some weird fluke? Or do I try a complete wipe and reinstall of OS and Programs?
Oh, one other tidbit... whenever PrPro crashed and closed, the application itself wouldn't close. I have to go into the program manager and force quit it...
Thoughts? Recommendations?

Mixing Down Multiple Tracks - Question

Hi.
Is it possible to mix down 2 or more tracks into 1 single track?
I'm doing some soundtrack work, working on the multi-track editor to a video I imported. I have a constant background ambiance that I made using the multi-track editor and the apple loops.
Is there a way I can mix the 3+ tracks that make up this ambiance down into 1 single track? Thus giving me less tracks to worry about (and less clutter) when editing additional foley sound effects etc.. over the ambiance?
Any help would be appreciated

Export your mix. In the After Export drop-down you should find *Add to New Tracks in session* (or something like that)

Mixing down - lost MIDI tracks

Hi
I have just started using GarageBand over the past couple of months. I have figured out all about locking tracks etc - or so I thought. I can get all the tracks to run fine (real audio and MIDI). The only thing is that when I export to iTunes, a couple of the MIDI tracks can be lost. Why???
It all seems quite random. My MIDI keyboard is connected. And all the tracks are locked for mixing down. (Did I need to have the keyboard connected at the moment when I locked the tracks, maybe?) The funny thing is, on some songs I am hearing all the tracks, MIDI included.
So, baffled...

You don't need to have the keyboard connected for exporting the mix: and you don't need the tracks to be locked - that is to make it easier for the CPU to handle the load with a lot of tracks.
As to the missing tracks, forgive me for asking, but are you sure you didn't click the mute button instead of the lock button? (We've all done things like that! - and it's worth starting with the basics). Anyway, try a mix without locking the tracks - perhaps that's the problem, and, as I say, there's no need.

Exporting to Multiple Tracks

Is there anyway to export a mix in soundtrack to multiple tracks for each track in soundtrack? So if I made one track roomtone, then another dialogue can I make soundtrack export those seperately? Thanks

I will try that, but maybe you can help me in the overall workflow I am doing. I got all the scenes edited in FCP and each one is it's own sequence. I wanted to do coloring and audio to each sequence separately. The problem is I want to mix the movie's audio in 5.1 but when I export an AC3 file of the 5.1 mix I cannot import it back into FCP. I was planning to do all the audio import it into FCP and when all the scenes are done put all the small sequences into one sequence and export that back to Soundtrack to mix to 5.1. Would that be my best bet? Or is there an easier way? Thanks
