If any labels are empty (track names cannot be empty), Audacity will name each associated file as "untitled" and add a number as necessary to distinguish multiple "untitled" files.</li>
|
|
<li><b>Numbering before Label/Track Name:</b> Label or track names are used but a consecutive two-digit number and hyphen are prefixed to each file name. The numbering starts from "00-" if you chose "Include audio before first label", or from "01-" if you did not. This is a good choice if you are burning tracks to an <a href="burning_music_files_to_a_cd.html" title="Burning music files to a CD">Audio CD</a>. </li></ul>

<div class="note"><b>Examples for numbering before:</b> If you had a label named "Reflection" marking the start of the first file, followed by a label marked "Rejoicing", then the exported files would be "<b>01-Reflection</b>" and "<b>02-Rejoicing</b>"; If the labels were empty in the above case, the exported files would be "<b>01-untitled</b>" and "<b>02-untitled".</div></b>
|
|
<ul><li><b>Numbering after File Name Prefix:</b> Label or track names are ignored. Instead, each file is named using a standard prefix specified in "File Name Prefix" below followed by a hyphen and a consecutive two-digit number. The numbering starts from "-00" if you chose "Include audio before first label", or from "-01" if you did not. </li></ul>

<div class="note"><b>Example for numbering after:</b> If you had labels that marked the start of the second and third files, chose "Include audio before first label" and entered "Remaster" as the prefix, then the exported files would be "<b>Remaster-00</b>", "<b>Remaster-01</b>" and "<b>Remaster-02</b>". </div>

<p>In the case above we have an interview with a series of questions (upper track) and answers (lower track), and a concluding statement by the interviewer. We want to export the question-answer pairs and the interviewer's conclusion as separate files.
|
|
</p><p>In most cases the question-answer pairs follow one after another, so point labels are a quick and convenient way to mark them. However after the third answer, the interviewer is told by the studio manager that time is running out, and the two parties discuss this. We want to omit this exchange.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<dl><dd><ul><li>We mark the start of the first two question-answer pairs with point labels "QA1" and QA2".</li>
|
|
<li>We mark the third pair with a region label "QA3" since we want to omit the discussion about running out of time.</li>
|
|
<li>We mark the start of the fourth pair with point label "QA4" and the start of the interviewer's conclusion with point label "Outro". </li></ul></dd></dl>

<p>So this is what will be exported:
|
|
</p>
|

<dl><dd><ul><li>The first file will be named "QA1" and will include the audio between the "QA1" and "QA2" point labels.</li>
|
|
<li>The second file will be named "QA2" and will include the audio between the "QA2" point label and the start of the "QA3" region label.</li>
|
|
<li>The third file will be named "QA3" and will include the audio spanned by the "QA3" region label.</li>
|
|
<li>The fourth file will be named "QA4" and will include the audio between the "QA4" and "QA5" point labels. Note that the audio between the end of the "QA3" region label and the "QA4" point label is not exported.</li>

<li>The final file will be named "Outro" and will include the audio between the "Outro" label and the end. Had we decided to cut off the conclusion half way through, we would have selected what we wanted to keep and labeled that, producing a region label "Outro" instead. Then the audio beyond the "Outro" label would not have been exported. </li></ul></dd></dl>

Note that in order to export the pairs and the conclusion excluding the interruption, we could equally have drawn region labels for each, similarly to Case 4 above. Had we needed to edit each of these regions individually before export, it might have made sense to label them as regions in any case.</div>
