Welcome to our "How to Export bar 1 beat 1" page. In here you will find info
on how to export tracks out of any DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) so they
can be used in any other DAW. Every track starting from the beginning of
the song (at bar 1, beat 1) and ending at the end of the audio on the track,
for simple drag and drop into a blank session. Also, listed is if the DAW
records time stamped Broadcast wave files.
Just sent me the exported Bar1Beat1 files from your program, on a datadisc
CDr, DVD or hard drive or upload it to our secure FTP server. Please keep
all files at the original recorded Sample rate and sample bit depth
(24bit/48K, or 24/44, or 24/96)
If you recorded and work on Protools, Samplitude, Adobe Audition or Logic
5.51 or earlier, you do not need to export the files to send to us, just send us
the song's folder with all the files and session (PTF, VIP, SES, LSO). For
uploading to our ftp server, I do suggest export, for a smaller and quicker
upload.
Samplitude & Sequoia: V11 and newer

- Routing - Choose ALL (ignore all routing)
- Vertical/special "Only Selected Track" IF you have mono and stereo
tracks in you VIP, if all are mono choose "multitrack bounce" Note:
"Multitrack bounce" to place each track into its own file -BUT Only if all
tracks are Mono or Stereo, or this will make them ALL 1 or the other....
4. Hit ok and choose a folder to place the new files into, example create a

Batch procession: Format conversion
In SAM you can then you can then choose "Batch processing". Choose "add
files" and add all of these new wave files, in the "Destination format" tab
choose the new samples rate and choose "Ultra High quality 2" In the
"Destination file" you can choose to "replace" or save the files with a new
name and location, ( if you want choose "Save file to this directory" (choose
a folder) then below under "file name suffix" type something to be added to
the end of the new file, example -48k and the new files will have the same
name (guitar.wav) but with -48k at the end (guitar-48k.wav)
Defaults records "Broadcast wav, timestamped"
Logic Windows 5.51 thru logic7
Record 2 sec of nothing, to create an empty audio object at the very
beginning of an empty track, then copy it to each track (that does not
already start at the start) at bar 1, beat1.
Name with the Name tool the first object what ya want the track to be name,
or choose, 'track name to objects'
select all objects in 1 track
choose the glue tool from the tool menu
Glue
repeat
Logic 5.51, no time stamp, no broadcast wav
Logic 7 and up:
Convert all your DAE audio tracks to Core Audio (you can do this from the
track info bar in the arrange window), move the song end pointer nearer to
the end of your song and then choose "Export All Tracks As Audio" from
File>Export. Logic will then consolidate all tracks separately from Bar 1 Beat
1 to the song end pointer. Beware! Save your song before you do this as all
TDM/RTAS plug-ins will be lost when converting tracks to Core Audio.
ProTools HD/LE
Select a range in the window starting at the start of the song on track 1 and
drag right and down to the end of the song and last track, so all tracks used
and all clips are selected. Then Choose "Consolidate" (option+shift+3) from
the Edit menu.
This saves the exported tracks. Once done go to the Audio folder for the
song and choose these new files, All the wave files should be the EXACT
same size and be dated with a minute earlier as you just created them.
Select these files and copy them to a new folder.
You can zip this new folder and then send it to me via DropBox.
Defaults records "Broadcast wav, timestamped"
Digital Performer
"With DP I had to put a little bit of recorded silence in the beginning at
absolute 0 and then merge the tracks. DP would then join all of the pieces
into one long track starting at absolute 0. Then I could pick them up in the
audio files folder and drag them out for burning. "
Nuendo/Cubase
Make selection of all the tracks and length you want to export and then go
to the edit menu and select "Bounce Selection."

"It occurs to me that there might be a need to access individual tracks. This
is only a bit more complex:
1. Go to File/Save Project To New Folder, create a directory when prompted
click "remove unused files" when prompted, give the project a name and
proceed. The directory you created will have a sub-directory called Audio.
All your files are in it.
2. Assuming you have some files in the original project that didn't start at
bar 1, beat one, just hit Return To Zero, enable record on those tracks and
record a tiny bit of audio at the start. Highlight those tracks, go to
Audio/Bounce Selection and click New when prompted. This will create a
file that starts at bar 1, beat 1. Follow step 1 above. You will now have files
that all begin at bar 1, beat 1 and can be individually (or simultaneously)
imported into another app."

The easiest way to do this:
- Save as a new session and add the word EXPORT into the file name so
that it is not mistaken for a working file.
- For tracks that do already start at Bar 1 Beat 1, select all regions on that
track, right click -> Audio -> Bounce. When prompted, selected "replace
audio events" (or something to that effect).
- For any tracks that do not start at Bat 1 Beat 1 you will need the pencil tool
to draw in a new region at that point. Then follow the same process as
above.
- Once you have done this for all of your tracks go to "File->Save Project to
New Folder...", create a new folder that is labelled appropriatedly and in
select "remove unused audio files". Once this is done, your Audio folder of
your newly created project folder will have all the raw files for your mix
engineer. Be sure to take time to name and rename so that the files are self-
explanatory (i.e. what instrument? What part of the song? Is it a Lead or
Double?)
- To clarify, there will be no *.cpr "session file" to bing. Only the audio. This
method is the closest thing to bringing your mix engineer a tape reel with
the raw audio tracks. It's pretty fool proof. Just make sure you test all of the
newly exported files to make sure there are no sync issues and to make
sure everything is there.
Ableton Live
ctrl/cmd in windows may be just "control" as used with "control+A" is select
all. Or it may be "Cntrol+alt" or "control+shift"
Make sure to name all tracks corresponding to what they play. Make sure
you're in arrange view; if not, hit the tab key to get there. Hit ctrl/cmd+A to
highlight everything. Then hit ctrl/cmd+J to consolidate all tracks, including
warps, loops and what have we (but excluding inserts and send fx). The
command to consolidate tracks is also available from the edit menu. Next,
you'll have all tracks in the "sounds" folder for the project, ready to burn to
DVD or transfer by other means.

then whatever name you've given each track in the mixer channel so it'll be
