Mixer & export
Quick steps
- Switch to the Mixer tab for per-track volume, pan, sends, and routing.
- Click Export in the title bar (or the transport bar Export button) for offline bounce.
- Choose master mix, stems, regions, or surround; pick WAV, FLAC, MP3, or OGG.
- Use Export → Collaboration folder sync to share projects via folder-based sync.
Details
Mixer
- Per-track volume, constant-power pan, mute, solo, peak metering on audio, instrument, hybrid, group, return, and master tracks
- MIDI and Pattern tracks are timeline-only — they do not appear as mixer strips (no audio mix path)
- Aux sends — pre- or post-fader taps into return tracks; pick the return destination, adjust level, or remove sends from the mixer strip or Track Inspector
- Send automation — right-click a send level slider to create an automation lane
- Surround pan — 5.1 / 7.1 in the Track Inspector when output device has enough channels
- Routing matrix — edit track output destinations, all aux sends per track, and plugin multi-out routes (hardware audio-interface inputs are configured in Settings → Audio)
- Control surfaces — MCU/HUI mute and solo buttons; Push2/APC40 learnable volume, pan, mute, solo, and first-send level (CC 91)
Export
- Master mix, per-track stems, or beat regions — faster than real time
- Surround offline bounce for 5.1 / 7.1
- Timeline XML handoff for post pipelines (not binary AAF)
- MIDI export from the transport area
- Honours automation, aux sends, PDC, sidechain, and effect tails
- Video mux — when the project has video tracks and ffmpeg is installed, enable Mux master audio with video track (MP4) to deliver a single
.mp4with the bounced master - Composited export — Export composited video (or title bar Export ▾ → Export video…) bakes all video layers into an MP4; see Video & composition for a step-by-step visualiser tutorial.
Mastering on the Master track
Ongenet masters like a DAW: insert effects on the pinned Master track. See Mastering for the full workflow — chain recipes, meter tap, Compare/A/B/reference, Match EQ, export loudness, and Peak Limiter vs Dynamics Limiter.
Startup & built-ins: desktop opens Ascension (Full Master, OTT on the Leads bus); WASM/Android open Web Demo (Streaming Master). Library demos such as First Light are not the desktop startup song. Built-in projects pick genre chains automatically — Full Master (Ascension, First Light, House Starter), Club Loud (Undertow, Trap Beat), Streaming Master (Dust & Vinyl, Field Modular, Static Bloom, Web Demo), or Techno Master (Techno Starter).
Export honours the same delivery targets: Analyse loudness, Normalize to platform LUFS, Pre-master bounce, stem Include master FX, and Match album loudness. Surround export loudness analysis uses every channel with full BS.1770 weighting; the on-screen meter stays stereo-focused for 5.1/7.1 monitoring.
