# Export A Final Mix

> Render the arrangement to a WAV so you can listen back, share a draft, or move to a DAW.

# Export a final mix

## What this recipe is for

Use this when the track has enough structure that you want to hear it outside the app.

Do not wait for perfection. Bounce early so you can judge the arrangement like a listener.

## Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Choose the starting scene">
    Make sure playback starts from the scene you want to print. If your arrangement relies on scene changes, rehearse them once before you render.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open bounce">
    Press `b` to open the bounce flow from the current workflow context.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Keep the audio bounce enabled">
    WAV is the safest default for checking the result, archiving the draft, and importing into other tools later. The default bit depth is 24-bit. If you plan to do further production in a DAW, keep 24-bit or switch to 32-bit float with `Left`/`Right` on the WAV Audio row.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable video only if you actually need it">
    MP4 visualizer export is useful for sharing, but it is not required for evaluating the music itself.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Render and listen back immediately">
    Once the bounce completes, open the resulting file from `~/Documents/Meiji Sampler/Bounces/` and listen all the way through. Pay special attention to scene transitions, balance, and ending behavior.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What good looks like

The first successful export should tell you:

* whether the arrangement reads as a song
* whether the loudest elements are balanced correctly
* whether the ending does what you intended
