Export enhancements

Audio exporting has been greatly improved and optimized to handle the most demanding rendering tasks. Highlights:

An intuitive new UI with collapsible panels to make it easier to get to the most commonly used features. For details, see Redesigned Export Audio dialog.

Task queues for batch exporting. For details, see Batch exporting audio files using task queues.

Complete control over output file names using tag based file name presets. Export presets can now also store a default filename. For details, see Using export filename tags and presets.

New additional export source categories:

Tracks Through Entire Mix. For track stems, exports the audio from each chosen track as heard through the main output. This is a useful way to create track stems as heard through master effects.

Track Folders. For any non-empty track folders.

Arranger sections. Allows you to export each individual arrangement section as a separate audio file.

Improvements to handling of export for aux tracks and tracks with sidechains. For details, see Improved handling of aux tracks and sidechains when exporting or soloing tracks.

Export uses significantly less memory and runs faster by eliminating making an extra copy of the project in memory.

Support for setting the export buffer size independently from the audio driver buffer size. Setting a higher export buffer size can significantly speed up export operations. (Max size is 350 msec).

Convenient access to track selection and mute/solo tracks directly from the Export Audio dialog box.

Set export time ranges or export entire project directly from the Export Audio dialog box. Even use project landmarks like markers and loop/punch regions to set the selection start/end locations.

Automatic effects tail flushing is now part of export/bounce to prevent left over effects tails from leaking into exports or being heard. For details, see Automatic effects tails flushing during bounce.

New default Export Audio Files folder setting in Edit > Preferences > File - Folder Locations. For details, see Default ‘Export Audio Files’ folder.

Toast notification on export completion with link to the completed render. For details, see Toast notification with link to open export location.
