click <strong>Export</strong>. The range will be exported and saved as an audio file.</p><h3id=what-exactly-is-a-range>What Exactly Is a Range?</h3><p>To define a range is simply to specify a beginning and ending point in time. The <strong>Selection</strong> display to the right of the secondary clock shows the start and end times of the selected range, as well as its duration.</p><figure><imgsrc=en/ardour7-range-duration.pngalt="Range duration"></figure><p>The range created through the method above will disappear as soon as you click outside of it.</p><p>The <em>Export Range</em> command will export everything that plays through the
<em>Master</em> bus, exactly as it plays back in your session. If any of the tracks
have the <strong>Mute</strong> or <strong>Solo</strong> buttons engaged, this will also affect which
tracks are heard in the exported file.</p><h3id=how-to-create-a-range-marker-and-then-re-select-a-range>How to Create a Range Marker and Then Re-select a Range</h3><p>Range markers are essentially two location markers the are grouped together to mark the beginning and end of a section on the timeline. Range markers look like this:</p><figure><imgsrc=en/ardour7-range-markers.pngalt="Range markers"></figure><p>You can use range markers to “bookmark” one or more ranges that you need to remember or use again later. Here is how you can do that.</p><ol><li><p>Make a range selection either in <em>Range</em> mode or in <em>Grab</em> mode with <em>Smart</em>
option enabled.</p></li><li><p>Create range markers in one of the following ways:</p></li></ol><ul><li>Right-click on a range selection and choose <em>Add Range Marker</em>.</li><li>From the timeline, right click on the <em>Range Markers</em> horizontal space and choose <em>New Range</em>.</li><li>From one or more selected regions, right-click on the region and choose <em>Add
Single Range Marker</em> (if a single region is selected), or <em>Add Range Marker Per
Region</em> (if multiple regions are selected).</li></ul><olstart=3><li><p>Click anywhere outside the range selection to lose it.</p></li><li><p>Right-click on either of the two range selection markers on the timeline and
choose the <em>Select Range</em> menu option. The range selection will be restored.</p></li></ol><divclass="notices tip"><p>You can clear all existing range markers by right-clicking on the <em>Range Markers</em> area of the timeline and choosing <em>Clear All Ranges</em>.</p></div><h2id=continuing>Continuing</h2><p>You now know how to Export isolated Regions, selected Ranges from your Session, or the entire Session as a Stereo Mix.
