Producing Audio

When you are finished performing edits, adding effects, or restoring an audio file in the library, you can save the changes and produce it as a new audio file. This produce feature is also used when mixing down all the tracks in the Mix room, combining them into a single audio file.

Note: you can also convert audio files in the library into other formats using this feature.

To produce your audio file as a new file, do this:

1.Select the audio file in the library you want to save/produce, and then click Produce in the AudioDirector quick bar above the timeline. The Produce Audio window opens.

Note: if there is a video file in the Mix room, or you are editing a video file's audio track (and you only want to output the edited audio), select Produce Audio after clicking the Produce button.

2.Set the File information as follows:
File name: enter in a new file name for the file.
Location: click on to set the location of the folder where the produced audio is saved.

Note: if you have a CyberLink Cloud subscription you can select the Upload a copy to CyberLink Cloud option if you also want the program to upload the produced file to your CyberLink Cloud storage space after production.

3.Use the Audio profile settings to set the quality of the produce file as follows:
Format: select the format you want for the newly produced audio file from the drop-down. See Supported Formats for information on the supported audio file formats.
Bitrate/Compression level: if required, set the bitrate for the produced file by selecting it from the drop-down. For FLAC and APE files, you can set the Compression level applied to the produced file. The higher the compression level, the smaller the resulting file will be, but the longer it will take for it to be produced.
Sample rate: set the sample rate of the produced file by selecting it from the drop-down.
Bit depth: set the bit depth of the produced file by selecting it from the drop-down.
Channels: set the number of channels the produced file will have. If you are producing it as a WAV or FLAC file, you can produce it with 5.1 or 7.1 channels, if required.
CyberLink TrueTheater Surround: if increasing the number of channels in the audio, select this option to use CyberLink TrueTheater Surround to enhance the quality of the expanded audio. Choose from Living Room, Theater, or Stadium.
4.Click on Produce. The file is saved to the folder location specified.

Note: the new file is also added to the library and is available for use in other projects in CyberLink AudioDirector.
