Exporting the audio

You can export the audio of projects as MP3 or WAV audio files; for example, to share how a piece sounds with someone who does not have Dorico.

Procedure

  1. In any mode, choose File > Export > Audio to open the Export Audio dialog.

    Export Audio dialog

  2. In the Flows section, deactivate Export each selected flow as a separate file.

    • If this option were activated, the resulting audio file would be inside an additional folder named after the flow. In a single-flow and single-player project like this one, the options for exporting flows and players as separate files make no significant difference, but would be useful if you wanted to export stems of individual players separately for each flow, for example.

  3. Click Choose Folder beside the Export to field to open the File Explorer/macOS Finder.
  4. Locate and select the destination folder you want.
  5. Click Choose to insert the new path in the Export to field.
  6. In the Audio Export Options section, choose MP3 (.mp3).

    • As part of these steps, we suggest exporting as MP3 because the resulting MP3 file size is much smaller than WAV or FLAC files.

  7. Optional: Change the Reverb tail (s) duration.

    • This controls the amount of time added at the end of the audio file to accommodate reverb that continues sounding after the music has finished.

  8. Click OK to export the audio as an MP3 file and close the dialog.

Result

The project is exported as an MP3 audio file in a folder inside the selected destination folder.
