Exporting audio
Download a signed WAV of the full song, a loop region or separate track stems, with mono and stereo options.
Export renders your song into a WAV audio file in this browser, then sends it to Glob for signing. A WAV can be played outside Studio. It is different from the editable project kept in your project library.
Open Project → Export WAV. The panel provides configurable export controls and a separate Export signed WAV action.
Export with options
- Choose Range: Full song, Loop region or Per-track stems.
- Choose Channels: Mono or Stereo.
- Set Normalise and Trim silence if wanted.
- Choose Export WAV.
- Keep the browser open while saving, rendering, processing and signing finish.
These options require a current Grid project with an instrument on every track. A track whose instrument has been removed does not meet that requirement. The panel explains this with These export options need a Grid project with a Grid instrument on every track. Add an instrument through the Devices panel, or use the Grid to check the track.
You need to be signed in, and the project must save successfully to Glob before export proceeds. The action saves the latest project, checks the saved version against the work you asked to export, and renders that version. If you change it during preparation, it can ask you to export again.
Choose a range
| Range | Result |
|---|---|
| Full song | One file spanning the saved song. |
| Loop region | One file between the arrangement loop's start and end. |
| Per-track stems | One file for each source track, rendered through its sends, return effects and master processing. |
Set a loop with the handles beneath the arrangement ruler. The end must be after the start. The export uses those boundaries; it does not need the transport's Loop button to be on.
Loop export preserves the region's exact sample length. Trim silence is therefore disabled for it. Sound before the loop is rendered before cropping, so the loop begins with the appropriate oscillator state and effect history.
Each stem isolates one track, including a track muted in the current mix. Its other source tracks are excluded, while shared return and master processing remain in the render. Stems are named with the song title, track number and track name. They are separate downloads.
Because compression, limiting and other nonlinear processing respond to the signal they receive, adding all exported stems together can sound different from the full mix. Use Full song when you need the sound of the current combined mix.
Channels and processing
Stereo keeps two channels. Mono averages the rendered channels into one. Exported WAVs use 16-bit PCM at 44.1 kHz; the panel has no sample-rate selector.
Normalise raises or lowers the file's peak to full scale after channel conversion and trimming. It is peak normalisation, not a target loudness setting. Completely silent audio is kept silent.
Trim silence removes quiet leading and trailing edges while keeping interior pauses and channel alignment. It retains enough audio for the signed file. It does not shorten loop-region exports.
The export uses the saved arrangement. It does not capture live launcher button presses as a performance, and the metronome is not added. Your Listening level changes your monitoring volume; it is not an export gain control. Use track and effect-channel levels to change the mix itself.
Progress and cancellation
The status can show:
- Saving the latest project for signing…
- Rendering…
- Processing audio…
- Signing and checking files…
- Signed WAV export downloaded.
Cancel export discards the unfinished result. No files are downloaded until all requested stems have completed and their signatures have been checked. Cancellation does not undo a save to Glob that has already started. The browser may finish some rendering work before it can release it.
For several stems, your browser may ask whether to allow multiple downloads. Allow those downloads if you want every completed file.
The separate full-song action
The Export signed WAV button below the options uses the original full-song export path. It does not read the Range, Channels, Normalise or Trim silence settings above it. It produces a stereo full-song WAV and saves unsaved changes first.
That button is disabled until the project has a saved track. Use Save first. Progress appears in Studio's status area as Rendering signed WAV…, then Signed WAV exported.
If export fails
Save the project successfully before exporting. means export could not obtain a saved version. The saved project changed before export. Try exporting again. means the saved work no longer matches the requested render.
The separate full-song action can show The track changed. Save it again before exporting. Save the current version and retry. This project is not available for export means the exporter could not obtain the full playable project.
Signing can also be temporarily unavailable or busy. Keep the project saved and retry later. Troubleshooting covers silence, browser failures and other error messages.
Read signed downloads for what a signature verifies and how to check a file. Exporting a file does not itself publish the track; use publishing to choose who can find and hear it on Glob Social.
