Exporting session as mp3

Hi! I am trying to export podcasts as MP3 files to utilize smaller file sizes for longer content. I go to export my multitrack session File>Export>Multitrack Mixdown>Entire Session and when I select MP3 format I cannot select "OK" to export - there is a message saying "the currently selected filter cannot save all files in the needed format."

 

I am only able to export the file as a WAV which can be too big for posting.

 

I am at a loss - any recommendations to what setting I should be changing or adjusting? Thank you!!

Did anyone else have any luck solving this, without adding steps (opening the .wav and exporting that to .mp3, etc.?) For no reason today Audition started giving me the same notification and not letting me export to mp3, on the same version, same maching that I've literally exported HUNDREDS of mp3 mixdowns, using the same session template... why????

I've had the same issue and the only work around that I noticed was that my multitrack was a 5.1 surround sound. I switched it to stereo and iit allowed me to export as mp3. Not sure if that helps or not.

If you are desperate, then save the session as wav, open it in Waveform view and use Save As to save it as an MP3 from there. If for some reason that doesn't work then we'd need rather more information about the settings you're trying to use...
