cycle region.

To select a portion of a multitrack project with the cycle region,

cycle region to the end.

and press O to set the cycle region Out point.

Press X to set the cycle region In and Out points at the boundaries of the clip that
currently intersects the playhead. The clip on the uppermost selected track is used.

If you want to export the entire multitrack project, be sure to first remove the cycle region.

To remove the cycle region, do one of the following:

m

Choose Edit > Cycle Region > Remove Cycle Region (or press Option-X).

m

Control-click the cycle region, then choose Cycle Region from the shortcut menu and

Exporting a Master Mix

A master mix (or project mixdown) is a single audio file that contains all of the
elements and settings in your multitrack project. When you export a master mix, all
unmuted tracks, busses, and submixes that are routed to hardware output jacks are
included in the exported file. You can exclude any tracks, busses, and submixes from
the exported mix by muting them. For more information about routing to hardware
output jacks, see “

Setting Hardware Outputs

” on page 265 and “

Setting the Submix

Outputs to Surround

” on page 296.
