PRESONUS AudioBox Stereo Quick Start Manual page 264

Start/End Marker will export the range of your Song between the Song Start and End Markers,
as seen in the Marker Track.
Choose Export Between Each Marker to export separate mixdown files for the ranges between
each marker. Choose Export Between Selected Markers to export a mixdown between two
specific markers. The duration of the range to be exported is displayed in the Duration field.
Choose an output from which the mix will be created in the Output selection box. Only the
Main Out will appear in the list, by default, but if there are any Sub Outs in the Console, they
will appear in this list as well. Check Import to Track if you would like the mix imported to a
new Track in your Song.
Check Realtime Processing if you wish to export your mix in real time. This option should be
used if your Song requires External Instruments or external hardware processing so that
musical data and audio will flow to and through these external sources during mixdown.
Check Close After Export if you would like to close the Mixdown to Audio File menu after
exporting your mix.
Check Bypass Master Effects to bypass the insert effects on the Main Output Channel of the
Console when rendering the mixdown. This is useful if you have inserted effects to simulate
the mastering stage, such as a compressor and limiter, but would like to render the mixdown
without them in order to address this in a mastering Project, or to preserve flexibility for
another mastering engineer.
9.9.5 Song Meta-Information
Certain file formats, such as MP3, can contain additional information about the audio that is
referred to as "meta-information." In the Song/Song Setup/Meta Information menu are many
fields of data that can be filled in for each Song. These fields are used to tag audio files, so that
they are labeled correctly for playback in software and various media players. All audio files
exported from a Song that can contain meta-information will be tagged with the meta-
information supplied here.
At the bottom of the Meta Information menu, you can choose to display the Song's meta-
information when the Song is opened. The information can also be viewed at any time by
selecting Song Information from the Song menu.
The meta-information displayed represents what listeners will see in their media players when
playing the Song. Displaying this info could also be helpful in remembering aspects of the
Song production later.
Meta-information filled in for any Song will be automatically filled in for that Song when it is
imported into a mastering Project. For more on this, refer to the Meta-Information section in
the "Mastering" chapter.
