I now have completed my audio mix...including the record scratch between each track...and am ready to export the finished product to a single audio file the DJ can use.

I'm a little hesitant at this point, because I don't want to screw up what I've done so far. My first attempt appeared to want to export only the first track. I'm going to have a total of 13 tracks in all, so again the issue comes down to selection...how do I select all 13 tracks for export?

Thanks to everyone who has helped me so far...this forum is very helpful!
The normal export command should do the job.
In contrast to "Export Selected Audio", it will mix down all to a single stereo track and save it.
See that nothing is muted or soloed.
BTW, the command to select really all is Ctrl-a or Cmd-a for Mac.
