Hi Michael,

The quickest way that I've found to save a wav file is...

1. Open the song.

2. Do not generate any tracks.

3. In the mixer, right-click on the instrument name of the track you want to save.

4. Select "Track Actions" and then select "Save As WAV".

When I just tried the above, my track saved in 8 seconds. I do have a reasonably fast computer, too.

By comparison, if I generate the whole song, and then go through steps 3 and 4 above, my save time is 23/24 seconds. This save time also seems to be independent of track freezing.

Having discovered that it's quicker to save a WAV on a newly opened song and before generating the song, I always use this approach now.


Alternatively...

If you open the song in Realband, it takes a minute or two to generate the whole song. To save the tracks, though, all it involves is to...

1. Select the track.

2. Press CTRL+A to select the whole track.

3. Click on the "Export WAV" icon on the top left of the row of icons.

This takes just the snap of the fingers to save... no generation occurs.

To save a MIDI using Realband, I CTRL+A to select the entire midi track and then use "Render | Save track to file"

With a single selection, it's also possible in Realband to save all tracks to individual WAV and MIDI files as determined by their native format.

I hope that some of the information contained within is useful!
