As you have already learned in previous chapters, exporting an isolated region
|
|
does not export all of the changes you might have made to that region. To export edits such as panning, fader automation, and plugin effects, you must
|
|
export either a range or the entire session.
|
|
|
|
## Exporting a Range
|
|
|
|
To export a range, follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Click on the **Range Mode** button (**R** shortcut)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Make a range selection:
|
|
|
|
{{< figure src="en/ardour7-exporting-range-1.png" alt="Make a range selection" >}}
|
|
|
|
3. Right click on the range and choose _Export Range_ from the menu:
|
|
|
|
{{< figure src="en/ardour7-exporting-range-2.png" alt="Export Range in menu" >}}
|
|
|
|
This will open the familiar _Export_ dialog explained in the [Exporting
|
|
Sessions](../exporting-a-session) chapter. Choose your options, if any, and
|
|
click **Export**. The range will be exported and saved as an audio file.
|
|
|
|
### What Exactly Is a Range?
|
|
|
|
To define a range is simply to specify a beginning and ending point in time. The **Selection** display to the right of the secondary clock shows the start and end times of the selected range, as well as its duration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The range created through the method above will disappear as soon as you click outside of it.
|
|
|
|
The _Export Range_ command will export everything that plays through the
|
|
_Master_ bus, exactly as it plays back in your session. If any of the tracks
|
|
have the **Mute** or **Solo** buttons engaged, this will also affect which
|
|
tracks are heard in the exported file.
|
|
|
|
### How to Create a Range Marker and Then Re-select a Range
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
{{< figure src="en/ardour7-range-markers.png" alt="Range markers" >}}
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
1. Make a range selection either in _Range_ mode or in _Grab_ mode with _Smart_
|
|
option enabled.
|
|
|
|
2. Create range markers in one of the following ways:
|
|
|
|
* Right-click on a range selection and choose _Add Range Marker_.
|
|
* From the timeline, right click on the _Range Markers_ horizontal space and choose _New Range_.
|
|
* From one or more selected regions, right-click on the region and choose _Add
|
|
Single Range Marker_ (if a single region is selected), or _Add Range Marker Per
|
|
Region_ (if multiple regions are selected).
|
|
|
|
3. Click anywhere outside the range selection to lose it.
|
|
|
|
4. Right-click on either of the two range selection markers on the timeline and
|
|
choose the _Select Range_ menu option. The range selection will be restored.
|
|
|
|

|
|
You can clear all existing range markers by right-clicking on the _Range Markers_ area of the timeline and choosing _Clear All Ranges_.
|
|
{{% /notice %}}
|
|
|
|
## Continuing
|
|
|
|
You now know how to Export isolated Regions, selected Ranges from your Session, or the entire Session as a Stereo Mix. The last section of this tutorial explains saving sessions, snapshots, and templates.
