244 Chapter 6 Editing Audio Files
To render realtime effects and envelopes to an action:
m Choose Process > Render to Action.
Once you render realtime effects and envelopes to an action, the realtime effects are
deleted from the project, and the envelopes are reset to their default values.
Some effects, including reverb and delay, add audio that extends past the end of the
file. This is called an effect tail. When you render realtime effects to an action, if any of
the effects creates an effect tail that extends past the end of the audio file, the file
lengthens to include the effect tail.
Saving Audio File Projects from the File Editor Project View
You can save a project as an audio file project or as a standard audio file and can
choose other options when you first save the file. Audio file projects are saved with the
extension .stap. Saving a project as an audio file project lets you make changes to
actions and other edits when you reopen the project in the File Editor.
To save a project as an audio file project:
1 Choose File > Save.
2 In the Save dialog, type a name for the file and browse to the location where you want
to save it.
3 Choose the file type for the project from the File Type pop-up menu.
The available choices in the Save dialog change depending on whether you choose
Audio File Project or an audio file format as the file type.
4 Optionally, select the Update Multitrack Documents checkbox to switch all instances of
the original file in open multitrack projects to the new audio file project.
5 Click Save.
