Real-Time Rendering

From the File menu, choose Real-Time Render to render your project in real time.

Real-time rendering is a playback mode that renders your project to .wav format. Real-time rendering allows you to include the output from an external input source such as a hardware synth or effects processor with your project.

NOTE Notes:

• When you start real-time rendering, any track that is armed for recording will be unarmed. You cannot arm a track for recording or start recording in real-time rendering mode.

• When rendering a project that does not use external audio hardware, real-time rendering and normal rendering will produce the same output. Real-time rendering will take longer to complete, allowing you to monitor the rendered file as it is created.

• If metronome count in is enabled, it will be turned off before real-time rendering begins. If the metronome is enabled for playback, it will not be included in the rendered output.

1. From the File menu, choose Real-Time Render.

2. Choose a drive and folder from the Save in drop-down list, or use the browse window to locate the folder where you want to save your file.

   When using real-time rendering, render your project to a local hard drive. Rendering to a network folder or removable drive can result in gapping.

3. Type a name in the File name box, or select a file in the browse window to replace an existing file.

4. Click Save to start rendering your project from the beginning of the timeline.
