Saving WAVs

Post by mikethebass60 » Mon Apr 16, 2012 9:01 pm

I'm running Audacity 2 and have run across this problem.

I've recorded a band's live show on 6 tracks of a Zoom R16.
These I can import into Audacity for editing.
I'd like to mover the individual WAVs back to the R16 for mixing.

If I use export this mixes the tracks into a stero mix.
If I use export multiiple this makesd ecah track a stereo track.
Neither of these is what I want.

Can I save an individual track as a WAV?

Switch Audacity under "Edit > Preferences > Import/Export" from "Always mix all tracks to mono or stereo" to "Use custom mix", then use "File > Export Multiple" with "Split files based on: Tracks" and Audacity will save all audio tracks as separate files.
