I'm trying to figure out how to export regions into
individual wav files.

Thanks

Ditto...I would love to know how to do this as well. Does
anyone know if this functionality is in SF5.0? In scenarios
where you have a single file containing a number of
different tracks (IE a live set, or when digitizing an
entire rare cassette or vinyl album) it's nice to work on
the whole thing at once when doing EQ, noise reduction,
etc. But when you are done, it would be nice to divide it
into Regions and be able to export all regions as
either .WAV files or .MP3 files. I sure hope this
functionality made it into SF5.0. -Brent

why not just select a region and drag it out of the window
to create a new file? Are you talking about batching?

Yeah...that works but I was thinking of something a little
more automated. Like an item under the File menu
called "Export Regions..." that brings up a modal dialog
box allowing you to select some or all regions for export
and choose the desired file format. For file names, it
would just use the Region name plus the appropriate
extension.

Define your regions, Tools > Extract regions, choose which
ones you want, type-in the file prefix. I like to drag
regions from the "view regions" list onto the "view
playlist", then right click and select "convert to new".
This makes one big file with just your regions omitting all
the edited-out areas. This is then imported into cda
with "use regions" option to automatically create tracks. -
very efficient for editing live shows.

Ahh indeed! That is exactly what I was talking about and it
was there all along. For some reason, I expected to find
functionality like that under the File menu. Guess I should
RTFM more often :) Thanks for the tips! Regards, Brent
