  1. Insert Broadcast Wave Chunk

    Activates the embedding of additional file information.

    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.

  2. Edit

    Opens the Broadcast Wave Chunk dialog where you can enter embedded information.

  3. Insert iXML Chunk

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

  4. 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.

  5. Normalize to Integrated Loudness

    Normalizes your audio to the integrated loudness value that is specified in the field to the right.
