Audition not Exporting

[joelf44183959]

Hi guys,

What am I doing wrong?

I finished mixing my session and want to export it out as an mp3 but as you can see in the image attached, all of the export options are greyed out.

If I highlight the actual WAVs in the multi-track session then I have one option available which is the last one - 'Selected Clips' but then when I click ok to export the file never is created and it doesnt say error or anything. I select export selected files and nothing exports and nothing happens at all.

On the face of it, I can't see anything obviously wrong here, I must say. Is this the current version you are using? If I do something very similar-looking here, then I get all of the options for export (as long as I've done the right thing with the tracks). If you use the time selection tool to highlight all of the time in the session, do you get the 'Time Selection' export option then (the first one in the export option list)?

I notice all the track outputs are set to "Headphones..." rather than the more usual "Master".  Is that the reason?

I was going to make the same observation. Export and Mixdown only works when all the tracks are sent via the Master track output since that is the source of all the audio data for the Mixdown process.

[SteveG_AudioMasters_]

Hehe! I should have looked a bit harder. Almost certainly that's the reason.

This was my issue. Thank you so much!

Thanks so much man! You were right - it's now working. Appreciate the help.

HOW and where should you put it to "Master"? I have "master" where his says "headphones"... I did have a triangle on my clip on the left bottom corner but I couldn't read the "warning" so I clicked "dismiss" warning. I can't export or save my work. This is highly frustrating please help!

Each output setting has a twirl-down where you can alter the destination.

Thank you!!!!! I was tryin to figure out for some hours why this would be possible. Checked my hardware and worried about something could be broken hahaha. Thank you!!!

[Michael.Consulting]

I love you. Thank you.

I don't have a "Master" option under Output  on any of them.  Just mono, stereo and 5.1 options.  Any idea why I don't have an option for Master?

[SteveG_AudioMasters_]

Show us a screen-grab...

[Nurul Izzatur5FC8]

Same here, where I can't find "Masters"? Please help me it's soo frustrating 🥺

Usually people lose things by renaming them, without realising the significance of them. Here is a picture of the Audition mixer:

There is a ring around all of the track and bus outputs, and if they are not directed towards the Master channel on the right, then they simply won't be featured in the output. Yes you can rename all of these boxes, but ultimately this is what you have to do get a track output into the mix - route it to the Master (or whatever you've renamed it as) ouput.

i still can't find it. and i know i didn't rename anything. Help please?

[elainemvargas]

Thank you SO much for your help! I had the same issue as OP, and this was my issue/solution as well. God speed! -E

[YT_Dmitro3510]

Hellp me please 

[gos222]

Same! Did you find a solution as I don't have Master and I haven't renamed a thing. I just have all the moon stereo etc someone listed above

The default name for that track has been changed from "master" to "mix."

[Kimberly81800]

Hi, I'm having the same problem that my files won't export. But all my output IS set to "mix" (which I understand is the default for master). So what else can it be????

[SteveG_AudioMasters_]

So if you click on Export>Multitrack Mixdown (which is not greyed out in your screengrab), what happens? And at the bottom of the Master channel in the mixer view, if it says 'mix' there, that's fine. The rule is that you can call it whatever you like as long as the tracks or buses feeding it use the same name.

No Master setting for me. Switched it to Mix, solved. Thanks so much.
