Storesproject metadata, session state, timing, mixer state, and related workflow data
Project files are the durable save format. If a session matters, save a .meiji file instead of relying only on the last-open session state.

Bounce/export output

The bounce flow writes:
  • WAV files for audio export at a configurable bit depth (16-bit, 24-bit, or 32-bit float)
  • optional MP4 visualizer videos when video generation is enabled
