-
If you want to render to one audio format, select Edit Single Format.
-
If you want to render to multiple file formats, select Edit Multi Format.
-
- Make your settings in the Audio File Format or Multi Audio File Format dialog.
- Optional: To add multiple file formats in the Multi Audio File Format dialog, click Plus and select the file format presets that you want to render to.
- Click OK.
- Optional: Make additional settings on the Render tab.
- In the Render section, click Start Rendering.
Result
The audio montage is rendered.
If you render a surround mix to Multi Stereo/Mono files, the mono/stereo status of the rendered files reflects the mono/stereo status of the surround channels. If the audio montage uses a 6 channel (5.1) surround mode, two stereo files (Lf/Rf and Ls/Rs) and two mono files (C/Lfe) are rendered. The names of the rendered files reflect the name of the surround channel to which they belong.
If you render an 8-channel configuration using the Multi Stereo/Mono option, the channels are grouped as logical pairs (1-2, 3-4, etc.). For tracks that are routed to only one channel in a pair, a mono file is created.
Under Windows, you can also render single multi-channel surround files in the WMA 5.1 and 7.1 formats. Use the Windows Media Audio 9 Professional encoder.
