Logic: how Export all tracks as audio files

  1. Choose File > Export > All Tracks as Audio Files
  2. Enter a name for the exported audio files, and browse to a location to save them.
  3. Choose a file format for the exported audio files from the Save Format pop-up menu.
  4. Choose the bit depth for the exported audio file from the Bit Depth pop-up menu.
  5. Set the following parameters, as necessary:
    5.1 Multi-Output Software Instruments:
    – For software instrument tracks with multi-output software instruments, choose one of the following options:> One File per Track: mixes the multi-output signals with the main output into one file, for each multi-output software instrument track. In situations where multiple tracks use the same multi-output software instrument channel strip, one file is created for each track.> One File per Channel Strip: creates additional files for each aux channel strip that has a multi-output of the selected track’s multi-output software instrument as Input source.5.2 Bypass Effect Plug-ins: select to disable all plug-ins on the source track.5.3 Include Audio Tail: select to extend the length of the created file to include any instrument release and potential effect tail (reverb, delay, and so on).5.4 Include Volume/Pan Automation:  select to have volume and pan automation performed on export, with their result influencing the created file.
    Otherwise, the volume and pan automation is simply copied, but not performed.
    Note: if you plan to use the exported regions with an external application for processing, mixing, or editing, exporting them with no volume and pan automation is generally desirable.5.5 Normalize: choose one of the following options:Off:The exported file is not normalized.5.6 Overload Protection Only: allows downward normalization in case of overloads—levels above 0 dB, which would lead to clipping—but no normalization in case of lower levels.5.7 On: the exported file is normalized both for overloads and for lower levels.
  6. Select the Add resulting files to Project Audio Browser checkbox to add the exported file to the Project Audio Browser
  7. 7.Click Save.

I need more help!

Then get in touch. The best way to contact us is via our website using the contact form at the bottom of the online mastering page. Remember to quote the relevant job number, which you can find on your account page.

Is there a limit on tracks I can use?

Yes. Through the online service there is a 64 multi-track limit. If you have more than 64 tracks please contact us

What about midi?

Please print any midi or virtual instruments – as we only accept audio files.

Is it ok for me to say, “I’d like it to sound like [insert your favourite song here]…?”

Absolutely. In addition to as much written information as possible you’re welcome to provide a rough mix as well as a commercially released reference song, as these will be useful as guides for the engineer (this won’t be counted as an additional track).

Oops. I seem to have lost my file

The mixed file will remain online on the WMFY servers for 2 months after the date of delivery, so you can download it any time during that period. Obviously, we advise that you back up your mixed file once you’ve got it down for after this period – or as soon as you get the track down ideally, just to play it safe!

I’m thinking of adding a load of reverb and effects prior to the mix. Is that ok?

Ideally not. We ask that you please supply multi-track files dry, without reverb or effects. But, if you feel that a specific effect, processing or creative element (filter sweeps, delays etc.) is an integral part of the sound then please provide a clearly labelled ‘dry safety’ version of your track with-in your ‘Reference Audio Folder’ when you submit your project (Any audio in this folder won’t be counted as an additional track).

What should my submitted file look like?

We accept WAV or AIFF files at 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96kHz; 16/24 or 32 bit. Please supply us with mono or stereo files, clearly named and without audio clipping. You will need to provide multi-tracks that are consolidated or bounced from the start point of your song (bar 1 beat 1 or start time code). All files must be of the same duration, sample rate and bit depth. Sorry, but we cannot accept DAW sessions (i.e Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase etc). We ask that you also double check your audio files before uploading. Reload them into a new Session/Project, checking that they are the correct placement and length, Also checking that any crossfades have been included when consolidating or Bouncing in Place. Please ensure the multi-tracks provided are ready for mixing and do not assume any tuning or timing issues will be automatically resolved. However, if a small amount of vocal tuning is desired you can provide this information. If our engineer suspects the amount of tuning or editing will seriously intrude on mix time you will be informed. Large amounts of tuning and editing will be charged for and will delay turnaround time. It is in your best interest to do any tuning and editing in your time, so that the WMFY  engineers can maximize time spent mixing your song.

How much headroom do I need to leave?

Plenty of headroom please. Artifacts like clipping and distortion cannot be removed in the mix process, so allow plenty of headroom when printing your multi-tracks to avoid any.

Ok great. What will I get back at the end of it all?

You will be supplied with, – 1x Limited ‘listening’ copy of track at 44.1 / 16bit – 1x Unlimited mix master at original sample rate and bit depth – 1x Unlimited backing track at original sample rate and bit depth – 1x Unlimited Instrumental track at original sample rate and bit depth – 1x Unlimited a cappella track at original sample rate and bit depth.

Once I’ve heard my mixed track, will I be allowed any mix revisions

You’ll be allowed 1 revision or reasonable number of tweaks to levels or sonic elements within the mix, absolutely, e.g. “bring the reverb on the vocal down,” “bring the level on the bass solo up,” or “add more boom to the kick drum,” “the ukulele sound is too bright,” “a little closer to its sound in my reference mix,” etc. Major changes in direction will be treated as a new job, not a mix revision. For this reason we strongly recommend that you provide a reference mix and as much written instruction as possible, along with any commercially released reference song you find relevant. Two mix revisions are included in the price, and must be requested within a reasonable amount after the delivery of your mix. Any requests for any further mix revisions after this will be charged for.

Will my song be mastered?

WMFY does provide a separate online mastering service. Please check our online mastering page for more information.

Can I post my tracks to you?

Yes. Please send a CD-R, DVD-R or Memory stick If you experience any problems please contact us, we are here to help.

What is Mixing?

Mixing is the process of summing a multitrack recording down to a stereo sound print. Mixing methods include but are not limited to: setting levels, setting equalization, using stereo panning, and adding effects such as reverb. Minor adjustments in the relationship among the various instruments within the song can have dramatic impacts on how the song affects the listeners. This creative process is an integral part of creating an album or single and can add a sense of depth and clarity to the original recording. Mixing is largely dependent on both the arrangement and the quality of the original recordings.
