Check WAV, MIDI, and stem exports before delivery
Verify export range, sample rate, MIDI instruments, and stem alignment before using files elsewhere.
First decide whether you are delivering a finished sound or material for further editing. A mixed WAV, separate audio tracks, and MIDI have different roles.
Choose the format
- Mixed WAV: hear the finished arrangement in another player.
- Separate audio tracks: rebalance or process parts elsewhere, using an export method supported by the current interface.
- MIDI: edit note events; it does not contain instrument samples or recorded vocals.
Before exporting
- Check solo and mute, including duplicate original audio.
- Include the start and final decay in the export range.
- Check for clipping.
- Confirm format, sample rate, and plan requirements.
Higher sample rates are not automatic upgrades
Saving a lower-rate source at 96 kHz does not restore lost information. Follow delivery requirements and project needs. Avoid unnecessary repeated conversion and keep intermediate files lossless.
Align separate tracks
Use the same starting time for all tracks. Different silence-trimming points cause misalignment in another DAW. Reimport the files and check agreed start and end markers.
Verify after export
Open the audio in another player and check duration, channels, opening, chorus, and ending. Test MIDI in another project with an instrument assigned. Native plugins do not necessarily support offline export through a browser workflow; verify the available recording or export path.
Use the current Export controls
Import audio in the DAW to enable Export. An empty timeline leaves the button disabled.
| Control | What to check |
|---|---|
| Format | WAV for sound; MIDI for note events. |
| Export scope | Choose the mix or separate tracks. Separate-track exports use a ZIP archive. |
| Sample Rate / Bit Depth | The free tier supports 44.1 kHz and up to 24-bit. Higher settings have Pro conditions. |
| Normalize | Choose whether to adjust level. Keep this setting consistent for before/after comparisons. |
- Start with a short recording. Choose WAV, mix output, 44.1 kHz, and 24-bit.
- Click Export and open the saved file in another player after completion.
- Listen to the beginning, loudest passage, and ending for silence or cuts. You can use this short vocal recording; its provenance is explained with the audio example.
96 kHz/32-bit are output options, not a promise of better source quality. Reimport separate-track files and confirm their alignment at the same starting position.
