Export

File ▸ Export… (⌘⇧R) renders your deliverable — a bounce of the live native engine, so what you export is exactly what you've been hearing. The one deliberate exception is the Loop Deck: an export always renders the arrangement, even if pads are playing when you start it, and your deck is put back exactly as it was when the render finishes. The dialog:

• Destination — file name (a collision turns the summary strip amber — "that file exists — click Export again to replace it" — and the Export button then needs a second click on that same name before it replaces the file; edit the name to something new and the warning clears) and folder (default: the project's bounces/, remembered per choice).
• Format — WAV / AIFF / FLAC.
• Bit depth — 16 / 24 / 32-bit float. 32-bit float is a WAV depth: FLAC and AIFF are written at 16 or 24 bit, so that cell is unavailable for them (and the engineer is told so when it asks for one).
• Sample rate — the session's rate, or 44.1 / 48 / 88.2 / 96 kHz.
• Dither — recommended at 16-bit (unavailable at 32-bit float).
• Range — whole song, or the loop region (offered when a loop is set).
• Normalize peak to … dBFS — a flat rescale after the whole master chain. Use with care: it can push the peak past your limiter's ceiling (the tooltip says so).
• Trim leading / trailing silence.
• Include processed stems — additionally bounces every track through its own chain (master chain off, solos/mutes handled) into a stems/ subfolder beside the master file.

The summary strip shows length · rate · depth · estimated size, then a live progress bar with Cancel (closing the window doesn't cancel — the export finishes and reports). Exports write to a temporary sibling and only replace the destination on success, so a failed export never destroys a previous deliverable; the finished file is re-read and sanity-checked (a silent or unreadable render is flagged instead of reported as success, and so is one that came out shorter than the range it was asked for — a disk that filled up part-way leaves a short but valid file). Reveal in Finder jumps to the result.

While an export renders you can keep working, with three things to know:

• Play, record and the Loop Deck's launch buttons wait for it. The engine is rendering with the project's devices, so there is nothing to play them through; pressing Space says an export is rendering this project — playback and recording come back when it finishes.
• ⌘S during a stems export is saved when it ends (saving when the export finishes). To render each stem the export briefly mutes the other tracks; your save is held back so the project file never records that. An edit you make meanwhile keeps its unsaved mark.
• Quitting, or installing an update, asks first and then cancels the export cleanly.

Two practical notes:

• The bounce spans the arrangement — leave a little space after the last clip if a long reverb/delay tail matters to you.
• The agent can export too (session.export with explicit settings), but only with your confirmation, and with no settings it simply opens this dialog. It always writes a NEW file: it refuses a name that already exists rather than replace it. Its reply comes when the file is WRITTEN — it names the file, and passes on the checks below (silent, full scale) — so "done" means the file is there. While it renders, this window refuses a second export. Whatever it changed earlier in the same request is in the file: it puts those moves into the live mix before the render starts (you hear them land at that moment), and the same goes for a track it bounces or freezes. A control you moved yourself while it worked is carried too.
• Every export re-reads what it wrote. A file that reaches full scale says so in the status (it reaches full scale … and will clip) — the master needs a limiter.

Zammoth's engineering guarantee behind the scenes: the native export path is continuously validated against an independent reference renderer within tight tolerance, and the ceiling/loudness figures you see in the Limiter and the CLIP lamp are the same measurements used to check the deliverable.
