Wave Files

Wave files have the extension .wav and are the most common file format on the PC platform.

If you select the Wave File format for the exported file, you can make the following settings in the Select Attributes section:

Insert Broadcast Wave Chunk

Activates the embedding of additional file information in Broadcast Wave format.

Note

By activating this option, you create a Broadcast Wave file. Some applications may not be able to handle these files. If you get problems using the file in another application, deactivate Insert Broadcast Wave Chunk and export the file again.

Broadcast Wave files also contain loudness metadata according to EBU R 128 that can be shown in the Attribute Inspector of the MediaBay.

Insert iXML Chunk

Includes additional project-related metadata, such as project name, author, and project frame rate.

Insert Tempo Definition

This option is only available if Insert iXML Chunk is activated. It allows you to include tempo information from the tempo track or from the Definition section of the Sample Editor in the iXML chunk of the exported files.

Normalize to Integrated Loudness

Set up Broadcast Wave Chunk
