Congratulations, you made it.
Your mix is done and your song is officially finished. But how do you get it out of your DAW and into the world? Well, there’s one more hurdle to pass. It’s the last important step in your DAW: the bounce dialog.
Tutorials Mixing Mastering Studio In this video we are showing you the best export settings to export you song or beat for mixing and mastering. This simple and easy method lets you export all of the stems in one operation, only taking a few minutes. This is useful if you have to export and send your mix to a mixing engineer. The engineer will need each of the instruments and vocals. Wav is better for sure. But I had the same problem way back, I used Soundgoodizer which completely screwed with my mixing. Nowadays I only do quick mixing in FL and when I want to do a full/good mix I render all my tracks as wav files and mix that in either cubase/logic/pro tools depending on the studio I have acces to at that time.

Exporting a WAV file is quite similar to an MP3, except you need to tick a few different boxes in the export settings pop up window. Refer to the screenshot to see the best settings for exporting WAV files in FL Studio. We’re covering the best export settings for FL Studio 12 this time in our FL Studio Beginner’s Series. The biggest thing I want you guys to take away from this video is to focus on your music! Don’t get me wrong, bit-depths and sample rates do matter, but not at the level of what you read on forums. 16-Bit 44.1kHz is CD quality. Apr 14, 2017 What are the best FL studio rendering exporting settings to maintain audio quality? I've seen mutiple videos suggest that Wav files are better for music quality because it's less compression compared to Mp3s, however there seems to be a huge difference for the proper setting in the rendering process to maintain a higher quality similar to the quality that is displayed whenever your creating.
In this article, I’ll go through everything you need to know about bouncing and exporting audio properly in four of the best DAWs.
What is bouncing audio?
Bouncing (or exporting) is how your DAW turns your project into files on your hard drive.
The term “bouncing” comes from the analog era. The track count is a hard limit on tape machines. But engineers could use their consoles to mix several tracks down to one to free up more recording space. The process was called “bouncing down.” The drawback was that the level of each of track would no longer be independent on the printed track.
But today, bouncing usually means writing the final mix of your song to a stereo audio file. It can also mean printing stems of all the instruments in your mix or exporting individual tracks for collaborative or remix projects as well. No matter how you bounce your project, you’ll have to know how to use your DAW’s bounce dialog to output your files properly.
The best export settings for mastering
You have to choose the right settings to make sure your bounce is ready for mastering. No matter which DAW you’re using, here’s what you need to know.
Resolution
Don’t export your song to a lower resolution than the one you’re using in your project. If you choose a lower resolution, your DAW will have to convert your exported file to the target sample rate and bit depth. Stick with what you have or choose 32-bit floating point if it’s an option. The reason why has to do with…
Dither
Dither is a pretty technical subject. But when it comes to your tracks, all you need to know is when to apply it. Here are our guidelines on the subject:
Best Fl Studio Wav Export Settings Download
- Don’t change file types unless you absolutely have to. If for some reason you need to downsample, be sure to dither during conversion.
- Save dithering for when your files are headed outside of your DAW. Dither only once — during export.
- If you’re sending your files for mastering, leave dithering out if you can export 32-bit float files. In this case, the mastering process will take care of dither for you. When you export anything other than 32-bit float, you have to dither. That includes when you bounce files that are the same bit-depth as the ones you recorded.
Hot tip: Your DAW may have the option to create AIFF or WAV files while recording. Both are lossless formats, so there’s no sound quality difference between the two. These formats are best for uploading during the mastering step. So stick with these formats for your bounces as well.
Normalize
Make sure to notnormalize the files you export for mastering. Normalizing will increase the gain of your file a lot — not what you want for keeping good headroom for mastering.
Channel Width
Make sure to select interleaved if you want a traditional stereo bounce file. Use multiple mono if you’re exporting tracks one by one.
Offline vs. Realtime Bounce
Realtime bounce writes the audio file to disk at the same speed as playback in the DAW. This method is slow but safe and reliable. Offline bounce renders the export file much faster than real time. This can save you a lot of time, especially if you need to bounce many tracks individually. In some cases, offline bouncing may cause issues with CPU heavy plugins or intricate automation. If you’re worried about offline mode having an effect, stick with realtime.

When checking the loops that users upload the most common problem is files that are not perfect loops. By that i mean that the file suffers from one of the following problems
extra space at the beginning or end
a tail left on, caused by reverb or delay
files not being 2, 4 or 8 bars
The initial check is done by looking at the waveform here on looperman. Its simple to see a loop that fails one of the above situations as the waveform graphic does not line up with the markers.
I also check files by opening them in a daw at the given tempo and then checking the loop point at the correct bar by zooming in at that point.
More often then not the file has been exported from Fruity Loops / FL Studio.
Fl Studio Export No Sound
As Im not fully versed with FL Studio myself these days I thought I would start this thread so that users can discuss the best way to export seamless loops from this DAW.
So, those in the know post your wisdom. Once we feel like we have a definitive guide ill make a proper tutorial for the blog and then we can move onto the next DAW
