Export selection in 5.1

Post by JHL » Thu Jul 07, 2011 2:40 pm

I have been trying to edit a 5.1 FLAC file into individual songs.
I see that the 1.3.13 BETA does allow an entire group of tracks to be saved in a 5.1 format.

How can I save just a portion of the tracks as an individual song?

"Use Custom Mix" in the Import / Export Preferences works on selections just the same as on whole tracks:

However Use Custom Mix does not work with Export Multiple, so you would have to export each selection separately with File > Export Selection....

I think all I really needed was to find "Select All" in the Select Menu.
Ctrl-Shift-K seems to work just fine.

"Select All" won't let you save "just a portion of the tracks as an individual song" which is what you asked. It selects all the audio in the project (the entire length of all the tracks).
