Tick this box if you want the mixdown file to match the target duration. If your project is short it will be extended to the target duration with silence. If it is too long it will be shortened and faded at the end to the time specified.

Dynamic range compression, or simply compression, can be applied to the mixdown. This is a process that will attempt to even out the overall volume level of the output by increasing the volume level of the quieter parts of the output and decreasing the volume level of louder parts. There are various presets available that can be used to affect the audio or you can choose custom to enter your own values.

A cue file or cue sheet is a metadata file that describes how the tracks in the mixdown file are positioned. The file can be used by other playout systems, such as PlayIt Live to display and report the currently playing song within the larger audio file.

Once the mixdown process has finished the audio file will open in your default audio player.
