File Flattening consolidates the audio (including punch ins and overdubs) into one BWAV file per track to be easily imported into other audio platforms. The File Flattening process is very quick, and is much faster than the traditional method of exporting.
Flattened files are accessible in the USER directory of your record drive. For example, in a 24 track project from timeline 00:10:00:00 to 00:15:00:00 with lots of overdubs and punch ins, you will have 24 BWAV files after “flattening” which will be “spotted” to the 00:10:00:00 timeline in your DAW.
Currently, “file flattening” cannot be performed if your project is copied, contains imported audio, or cut / copy / paste commands (basically any editing). Punch ins and overdubs are OK. If your project has edits you can “export” to the USER folder on your recording drive for the same functionality.
