Rendering to disk gives silence !

Post by paulm72 » Wed Aug 30, 2006 11:23 pm

Hi, can anyone help me out please ?

I have just recorded a dj set and rendered as a WAV file however everytime that I import it via ITunes it plays the file however without audio.

Is there something glaringly obvious that I am doing wrong ??

highlight all your audio in arrange view before you render.

it only renders the selected parts.

i dont know if you need to highlight it..
if your in arrangement view it should say at the bottem

"rendering from 1.1.1 to 165.0.0" or whatever

Thanks for the responses however I am in arrangement view and the whole set is highlighted in yellow. furthermore the file get's rendered as it acknowledges the set in itunes but plays silence.

Master out is selected correctly I just haven't a clue where its going wrong.

I have rendered many mixes before so I am totally stuck ??

Can anyone offer any advice?

Nope sadly that's not it either.

Normalize is on, render as loop is off, and create analysis file is switched on.

The mix is 1hr 42min long and therefore the rendering process takes over 10 minutes then when i import the file (which I renamed from the original live set - would that affect the render process)? it brings the file into itunes exactly the same duration as in live.

I'm totally bemused and worried cos I really thought the mix was good and would like to get it onto disk !!!

Any more assistance gratefully recieved
Thanks
