<h2>Export Format Profiles</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
An Export Format Profile specifies the file format in which Ardour will export
|
|
audio files, and also other audio file export options.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Export Format Profiles are edited via the 'Edit Export Format Profile' dialog.

<h3>Normalize</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If enabled, peak levels of exported files will be normalized to the level chosen here.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Trim/Add silence at start/end</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Compatibility/Quality/File format/Sample rate</h3>
|
|
<h4>Compatibility</h4>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Selecting an item in the 'Compatibility' column will display options in the
|
|
other columns that are incompatible with that item in red.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>Quality</h4>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The appropriate item in the 'Quality' column will be highlighted when you
|
|
choose a file format. Clicking on items in the 'Quality' column currently
|
|
doesn't seem to do anything useful.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>File format</h4>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This column contains a list of Ardour's supported export file types. Click on
|
|
the format you want to use.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>Sample rate</h4>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can explicitly choose the sample rate of your exported files here, or
|
|
choose 'Session rate' to export in the current session's sample rate, without
|
|
sample rate conversion.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>Sample rate conversion quality</h4>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If your chosen sample rate does not match the current session's sample rate,
|
|
choose the sample rate conversion quality here. Better quality options are
|
|
slower.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Options</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Options relevant to the chosen file format will appear here.
|
|
Categories of audio file format are:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Linear encoding</li>
|
|
<li>Broadcast Wave</li>
|
|
<li>Ogg Vorbis</li>
|
|
<li>FLAC</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Available options include a selection of the following:</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>Sample Format</h4>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Choose the bit depth of exported files.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>Dithering</h4>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If the exported files bit depth is less than Ardour's native bit depth,
|
|
choose the dithering algorithm to use.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>Create CUE file/Create TOC file</h4>
|
|
<p>
|
|
As well as exporting an audio file, create a file (in CUE or TOC format
|
|
respectively) containg CD track information, as defined in the
|
|
<a href="@@the-ranges-and-marks-lists">Ranges and Marks List</a>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h4>Tag with session's metadata</h4>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If the exported file format supports metadata, use data entered in the
|
|
<a href="@@metadata">Session Metadata</a>
|
|
window to tag the exported files.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h3>Label</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The 'Label' field lets you choose the name which will be shown for this format
|
|
in the drop-down list of export formats in the 'File Formats' tab of the
|
|
<a href="@@export-dialog">Export dialog</a>.
|
|
|
|
<h3>Command to run post-export</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If this is not blank, it is considered as a command to be run after the export
|
|
of each file. Either the command must exist in $PATH, or you can specify an
|
|
absolute path to an executable file here.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Certain sequences are allowed here to stand for the exported file name and the
|
|
like. Currently these are:
|
|
<table class="dl">
|
|
<tr><th><code>%f</code></th>
|
|
<td>Full path and filename of the exported audio file</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><th><code>%d</code></th>
|
|
<td>Directory containing the exported audio file (including trailing directory separator)</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><th><code>%b</code></th>
|
|
<td>Basename of the exported audio file (without extension)</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><th><code>%s</code></th>
|
|
<td>Path to the current session file</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><th><code>%n</code></th>
|
|
<td>Name of the current session file</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><th><code>%%</code></th>
|
|
<td>A literal percent sign</td></tr>
|
|
</table>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Any part of the command-line enclosed in double-quotes (") will be used as-is.
