Export format encoding options?

[Dave K.]

Hi all,

Although I've used Cakewalk products since 2007, tonight was my first attempt to experiment with export formats other than WAV.  I wanted to preserve original fidelity on the export, so I tried by AIFF and FLAC exports and was greeted with the pop-up prior to export in the first image.  For me, the drop-down menu is not populated for either format.  That doesn't stop me from hitting "OK" though, but when I tried that for both, Cakewalk threw the error message pop-up in the second image.

I did also try MP3 as an export just to see what would happen, and this had very different results.  That one even managed to export "a" file, but the audio content therein was just white noise with bursts of pink noise over top.

I checked the online manual, and it didn't seem to clarify things for me.

So clearly, I'm missing something.  Does anybody have any advice on this?

I came across the MP3 generating noise thing a couple of times and reported it, so with any luck it'll be fixed in the next update.

Everything else seemed to be working OK for me, though.
