Mixdown To Audiofile
Renders all audio in the current composition, and saves that to a chosen audio file.
Only the selected parts are mixed. If no parts are selected, everything is included in the mix.
Note that to include any effect tail in the mix, you must add an extra (empty) part at the end.
Also note that external MIDI gear cannot be included in the mix, unless you have recorded their audio output!
You can mixdown to both an AIFF or WAVE file, independent of your platform; Just select the file type by using a proper file name extension. Otherwise it's the platform default: On OSX: AIFF file, on Windows: WAVE file.
