Exporting Clips as Files

[Sparky1]

Hey there.

I'm a little uncertain about this function...

I have used this function in the past to export clips - to be used in another PT session.

Then I would bounce the song to be used in things such as CD's or iPods etc..

If I imported a song into a session - say to cut or add blank space to a song's beginning or end - would I need to bounce this song out or would I be able to use the export clips function... and have it playable as a .wav on a CD or in an iPod...?

Thanks,

Sparky

You could bounce to get it out of PT as one file, or use "Consolidate Selection" to render your edits into one file that would then be in the Audio Files folder.

Thanks for the reply - but still not 100% certain I understand...

If it exists in the Audio file bin - does it need to be "bounced" out of the bin to be used...?

If it's the bit depth and sample rate you need, you can simply drag/copy the file for whatever purpose. But if you need 16/44.1 and your session is 48, then you'd need to bounce or do the consolidation/export method I posted before.
