sample in another application, or to edit it in a different program. This
chapter shows you how to do that.</p><h2id=exporting-a-region>Exporting a Region</h2><p>To export a region, select it in <em>Grab</em> mode and then right-click into the
sub-menu <em>Export</em>, or use the top menu: <code>Region > Export</code>.</p><figure><imgsrc=en/ardour7-export-region-in-right-click-menu.pngalt="export region"></figure><p>This will open up the same export dialog box explained in the
click <strong>Export</strong>. Only the selected region will be exported.</p><divclass="notices tip"><p>Not all parameters and edits are taken into consideraton when exporting a
region. Trimmed, split, stretched and reversed regions can be exported, but
edits such as panning and automation are <em>not</em> exported.</p></div><p>Also, the volume of the audio track itself or the <em>Master</em> bus will not affect
the exported file. To export these edits, please see the chapters on exporting
a range and exporting a session.</p><h2id=exporting-several-regions-at-once>Exporting Several Regions At Once</h2><p>If you are building a collection of samples to use later in another software,
and your samples are basically trimmed and edited regions, at the end of the
process you will need to export all of them. If the number is large, exporting
them manually can be tedious. Here’s one way of exporting several regions at
once.</p><ol><li>In <em>Grab</em> mode (<strong>G</strong> shortcut), select all the regions you want to export.
They do not need to be on the same track.</li></ol><figure><imgsrc=en/ardour7-export-multiple-regions-1.pngalt="export region"></figure><olstart=2><li>Go to the <code>Region > Ranges</code> menu and choose <em>Add Range Marker Per Region</em>.</li></ol><figure><imgsrc=en/ardour7-export-multiple-regions-2.pngalt="export region"></figure><olstart=3><li>Ardour has now just created range markers that fit exactly the beginning and
ending of your selected regions (see the green rectangles in the range markers
ruler):</li></ol><figure><imgsrc=en/ardour7-export-multiple-regions-3.pngalt="export region"></figure><olstart=4><li><p>Go to the <code>Session > Export</code> menu and choose <em>Export to Audio File(s)</em>
(<strong>Alt+E</strong>).</p></li><li><p>In the export dialog box, click on the <em>Time span</em> tab. You will see all the
newly created ranges listed there. There is also a default range that stands for
the entire session.</p></li><li><p>Under <em>Time Span</em>, click <strong>Select All</strong> and de-select the very first range
(the “session” range). The reason is because we want to export the shorter
ranges, not the whole session.</p></li></ol><figure><imgsrc=en/ardour7-export-multiple-regions-4.pngalt="export region"></figure><olstart=7><li>Go back to the main tab (<em>File format</em>) and click <strong>Export</strong>.</li></ol><p>Your regions have now been exported to single audio files.</p><divclass="notices tip"><p>This method exports <em>everything</em> that falls under each defined time range.
In other words, if you have other regions in other tracks sounding
simultaneously with the region(s) you want to export, they will be mixed
together. Another way of looking at it is this: the export operation will
what you want, you can use solo or mute buttons on select tracks to ensure
you export only what you want.</p></div><h2id=continuing>Continuing</h2><p>Finally, the next chapter will discuss <em>Exporting Ranges</em> rather than just an
already involved using ranges, as you may have guessed.</p><p>Next: <ahref=../exporting-a-range>EXPORTING A RANGE</a></p><footerclass=footline></footer></div></div><divid=navigation><aclass="nav nav-prev"href=/ardour-tutorial/en/exporting-sessions/exporting-a-session/title="Exporting sessions"><iclass="fa fa-chevron-left"></i></a>
