Abelton 11 export audio settings questions

Post by dagwaremedia » Sat May 28, 2022 3:34 pm

I'm in Suite 11 I have been exporting my tracks at the following settings

Sample rate 4100
PCM off
Wav
Bit depth 16
No Dither

Once I export I go thru a mastering program and the tracks sound fine.

I was messing with a few settings this time I used
PCM ON
24Bit
Wav
No Dither

I imported the file to Rekordbox and I got a warning about this file can only be played on certainCDJ XDJ's

So in a nutshell what's the best setting to export wav files out of Abelton and while I'm here what about .mp3s

thxR

For Wav files I would use:

PCM = On
16bit
44.1kHz sample rate
Dither Options= Triangular.

For MP3 I would use CBR 320kbps, which is the only option you have anyway in Live.

Not if you want the best compatibility.
