Rendering question

Happy Holidays!!!

I'm tryin got figurte out how to get the Fattest,cleanest, most accurate mixdown--I'm sure on of these ways is better than another-- i tried 4 different ways

1. using "export audio/video" in Live 7 (formerly render to disk)
2. using "resampling" on a new track
3. asigning a new aux send on every channel and seleting that particular send as the "audio from" input on a new channel to record the mix into. (although i wasn't able to get my FX auxes routed into the new channel---maybe i was doing something wrong)
4. Assignind "audio to" on every channel inlcuding fx auxes to a new channel (basically a "many-to-one" track bounce)--I'm thinking that's the best one

Also, i was trying to use the "export audio/video" function to render tracks individually so I can load them up seperately into Pro-Tools as 24bit files complete with all their automation and plug-ins,fx-----the way i was doing it was I would solo the individual track with the coressponding FX aux track & then select "Master" as the rendered track but it would'nt record the mutes. I would end up with a track with the sound happening throughout the entire timeline (ignoring all my mutes).

Anyone's input is appreciated!!

The most convenient is Render/Export
and I can't imagine why any other method would be cleaner.... but those other methods are there for reasons... reasons a bit more specific than "i need to mix everything down to a .wav file".

Does Live 7 not have a Export All command? Live 6 can export every track individually, without having to solo tracks by hand.

Also, how are you autmating track mutes... when you say they are ignored? By using automation for Track On/Off? That should work.
