Exporting clips

To export multiple individual clips

1.	In the Track view, select the clips you want to export. If you don’t select anything, everything is selected.

2.	Choose File > Export > Audio to open the Export Audio dialog box.

3.	Under Filename and Location, enter a filename and select a destination folder.

To use the original clip names as the exported file names, use the {clipname} filename tag.

If no clip name is assigned, the exported file will be named Untitled Clip. For example, Untitled Clip.wav.

If names are duplicates, they automatically get a (N) suffix appended. For example: Clip (1).wav, Clip (2).wav, Clip (3).wav, etc.

4.	Under What to Export, click Source Category and select Clips.

5.	Under Format, select the desired file format from the File Type drop-down list:

6.	Under Mix and Render, select the elements you want to include in the export.

7.	If you want to save the settings you created in the Export Audio dialog box, type a name in the Preset box, then press ENTER or click the Create Preset button .

8.	Click Export.

Accommodating effect tails during clip export

Effect tails are the reverberations or signal delay that continue after the source has stopped. If your project uses track or clip plug-in effects (reverb, delay, etc.) that result in effect tails, you will need to extend the duration of the exported clips in order to properly accommodate the effect tails. Otherwise, the exported clips will end prematurely, before the effect tail is finished.

You can tell Cakewalk to automatically add a specific amount of time to each exported clip. To specify how much time to add to all exported clips to accommodate effect tails, go to Edit > Preferences > File - Audio Data and specify the global Clip Tail Duration N Seconds value. Set the value high enough to allow for any delay or reverb or other effect that you may have patched into a track.
